There were lots of great 3D moments in the film. It really added to the experience, especially in IMAX 3D. I'll have to double dip for sure to get the 3D version....hopefully there is one.

According to the latest issue of American Cinematographer, that's not the case. The DCP was completed at 2K across the board, different versions included a 2K 2D DCP, an 2K 3D DCP, and a 2K IMAX 3D DCP. The original negative was scanned at 4K resolution but the digital intermediate (DI) was done at 2K, and all of the DCPs are 2K.

I'd heard somewhere that it was done at 4K, but with all of the effects in the film, that makes sense.

I saw it twice, once in Regal RPX and the other in IMAX and I really can't recall anything that stood out. I'm not saying that's a bad thing or the 3D wasn't there, but I sure did miss what you guys saw. Now I'm disappointed I didn't get a chance to catch it one more time.

Hopefully a 4k version will have a 1080p 3D version included.

I don't know about Lawrence Kasdan being on it but to the best of my knowledge, J.J. Abrams has done commentaries for all of the movies he's directed and even some of his TV shows. My guess is that, unless they're planning on a bigger re-release down the road (unlikely in the current marketplace but not impossible), at least Abrams and producer Bryan Burk will be on the commentary. And maybe they'll get Daisy Ridley or John Boyega too.

It's not the most unlikely thing ever - the other six Star Wars films all have commentary tracks, and Abrams has recorded them for his past films. I think Ruly posted over at his upcoming street date thread that there's a chance that they may do a more barebones release now, and a more deluxe one later on, so I could see that track not happening right away, but I think there's a good chance there will be some kind of commentary, if not now, then eventually.

My concern is that it doesn't specifically mention a Blu-ray 3D version - they could instead be referring to a streaming-only version on one of the digital services, as they have done domestically for titles like Frozen. I do hope there's a disc.

Supposedly there are rumors of a more deluxe version coming later in the year, I wouldn't be surprised if that includes a commentary. And hopefully 3D.

I may have to do a rental for once because I definitely want to see this again sooner than later, but I don't want to triple dip. And a 3D streaming version only would be disappointing.

Already posted in another thread hours ago.

3D release coming later this year. Also mentioned in the other thread.


This is related to this pre-order thread, plus we were discussing 3D in this thread previously just a few posts up which is why I thought it was relevant to mention here.

Ugh. More retailer exclusives. Different packaging doesn't bother me. Different content does. Oh well. It's the way of the world with big releases these days.

Well, at least only Target has additional video content. Not as bad as Into Darkness when something like 4 retailers has different exclusive video content.
