Disney has confirmed that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be coming out as a special 3D Collector’s Edition this November.

The four disc set will include a commentary track from director J.J. Abrams along with deleted scenes that weren’t included on the recent release in April.

The new special features include:

  • A look at how sound technicians blend action with audio effects in the featurette Foley: A Sonic Tale.
  • Sounds of the Resistance, another audio themed doc showing how the sound designers blended real recordings into otherworldly effects in the film.
  • Deleted Scenes – While there were a handful of deleted footage on the original Blu-ray, this one promises even more “never-before-shared” scenes.
  • Dressing the Galaxy – A look at how wardrobe designs from the original trilogy were retooled by costume designer Michael Kaplan to fit the galaxy three decades later.
  • Daisy Ridley and John Boyega share a conversation in The Scavenger and the Stormtrooper, a featurette that was released only on the previous disc as an exclusive at Target stores.
  • Inside the Armory – A tour of the various weapons and battle gear in the battle between the Resistance and The First Order.

The disc will be released on the following dates in these countries:

  • Holland and Sweden, Oct 31
  • Italy and Spain, Nov 2
  • Australia, Nov 9
  • U.S. and Canada, Nov 15
  • Brazil, Nov 16
  • Germany, Nov 24

No specific date for the UK yet.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
