If anyone owns a Sphero BB-8, make sure to update your app. There's a pretty sweet "Watch With Me" feature that I'm sure will be fun!

My girlfriend picked it up yesterday while I was at work and we watched it when I got home :D I originally watched it in an IMAX theater so this time we got to watch it without straining our necks or taking off our 3D glasses haha

I think they may have just stumbled onto the next billion dollar idea. All your toys and action figures are now gonna interact with the movie and play out the scenes. Mind blown.

Yup, seriously! My Anakin is almost over but couldn't wear it as well since they were requiring the attendees to wear a mask. What in the world...

This has probably been posted before, but when I think of Chewie's reaction to THAT scene, I think of this:

I don't have one yet, but I expect we'll be getting one--my wife absolutely loves BB-8. :)

I'm totally fine with this, BTW. I'm so fine with it that I probably won't even use it as an excuse to get another saber. "Hey, you got a Star Wars thing for you, I get one for me!" :lol:

I watched the movie and wondered if they used Saberforge or any other type of replica sabers for the lighting effects while filming. In the special features they show they were using lighted sabers. The original movies didnt have the light shining on the actors faces because they added the rotoscoping technique later. But this time it was easy to get it lit correct with sabers that were already the right color and lit up. Then they just did the special effect to make the light more impressive.

I got the metal box version with digital movie, so it includes Blu Ray, DVD and apple TV version. Great movie to start the new age collection. Im very happy that they are moving the release dates of movies to only a few months lately.

They apparently contacted a bunch of sabersmiths but they're all under NDA so we have no idea what they used or what they talked about.

Also, all the releases come with the same discs and Digital HD options (I redeemed mine on Google Play). The only unique thing you got was the steel case.

Unless I'm looking in the wrong places, the U.K. Release on DVD is going to be a bit pants. No extras at all.
The Blu-Ray will be full of the extras, but I have yet to see a triple-release UK version with Blu-Ray, DVD and download

In other news, I hear new deleted scenes will be released soon.......why wasn't this stuff ready for the disc release??? Idiotic. They're really trying to push away from physical media.

I think I spoke too fast. Its metal, but feels like plastic because the inner liner is plastic.

Grabbed it yesterday and just watched it again tonight (bout time!). On the bright side, I've literally absorbed everything from the story that I can and now wish to overanalyze the lightsaber duel and craft a Kylo Ren MV using New Divide by Linkin Park (no one is allowed to steal that idea, it's mine!) while I impatiently wait to purchase Saberforge sabers and for Rogue One and Ep VIII.

The bad news is that I didn't realize that the bonus features that came with the Blu-Ray DVD combo pack are only available on the second Blu-Ray disk. In other words, my mom's gonna be mad to hear she spent an extra $10 on nothing. Unless we can get a Blu-Ray player, which isn't impossible considering how affordable they've become (anyone else remember when Blu-Ray was like $150-$200, and it was all the rave? Sorta like the move from VCR to DVD? Yeah, you can get Blu-Ray players for under $80 now).
