MOVIE NEWS – Back in August, Disney/LucasFilm revealed that they would release a brand new 3D Collector’s Edition of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which debuts internationally on October 31 before arriving in the U.S. on November 15. Earlier today, we showed you a deleted scene from this upcoming release, and now we have a new clip with commentary from director J.J. Abrams discussing one of the film’s most pivotal moments.
The scene in question is where the nefarious Kylo Ren kills his father, Han Solo (Harrison Ford), towards the end of this box office blockbuster. J.J. Abrams teases in this commentary track that young Kylo was being influenced against killing his father. The filmmaker also exposed that they were working on this scene for quite some time, and it was Jon Kasdan, Lawrence Kasdan’s son, who helped them figure out this scene.
“People have asked me if I think that Kylo Ren was just playing with him the whole time, that he meant to kill him from the beginning. The truth is, I think, Kylo Ren, at this moment, is being convinced to walk away from this. Snoke is, as Han says, using him, and I think that somewhere, Ben knows this, but I believe that he can’t accept it. Deep down, he has gone too far,” the director told in an interview USA Today.
Besides this revelation, the Force is calling to you again. Only this time, in 3D. The latest movie in Star Wars saga is coming home – for the first time in immersive 3D, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3D Collector’s Edition. Announced today, the four-disc collection will be released this fall, rolling out October 31 and arriving in the US and Canada on November 15. Encased in stunning collectible packaging, the set contains the film’s original theatrical release on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, Digital HD, and DVD, along with initially released bonus features and brand-new bonus material, including additional deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes conversations with cast and crew, and revealing, never-before-released audio commentary by director J.J. Abrams.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens shattered box office records upon its debut, grossed over $936 million domestic and $2 billion worldwide. With rave reviews from critics and fans alike, it garnered five Academy Award nominations and took home the BAFTA Award for Special Visual Effects. Featuring new heroes and villains, along with classic characters, thrilling action, and a heartfelt story, Star Wars: The Force Awakens connected with fans and deepened the mythology of Star Wars – and kicked off a new era of Star Wars that will continue with the first in a series of standalone films, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, premiering December 16, 2016. Take a glimpse at this new clip with commentary from J.J. Abrams, as he explains the scene where Han Solo is killed by Kylo Ren.
