Star Wars: The Force Awakens Will Hit Digital Platforms March 15?

tech_appletv11

After yesterday’s reveal of a 3-disc Blu-Ray/DVD set for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, another tidbit from the Blu-Ray.com website has come about, and it’s that the movie is set to arrive to iTunes on the Ides of March.

 

There’s not that much else to say here, but this is yet another support to April 5 as the day that the Blu-Ray version of the film would arrive. Based on Disney’s patterns of releasing digital copies of their Marvel films about three weeks before the Blu-Ray version arrives, the just-announced date for the digital edition ought to fit that schedule like a glove.

 

I think it’s pretty safe to say, that an official announcement from Disney will be coming  really soon.

 

Thanks to Dan for the heads up.

      Me, too. So technically, wouldn’t that be “take *our* money”? 😉

      That one will have a special new musical number by a hideous-looking CGI band.

          I used to think that part was cool, then I realized, anybody could be in that Boba Fett costume – its kind of creepy!

    I hope this is true but I have some doubts. Disney typically announce releases no less than a month prior to the digital release date but we have yet to see anything official.

      Does he mention how much he hates Han Solo and how glad he was to kill off the character? Such a great ambassador for the franchise 😉

        He’s been all in on the marketing. No doubt what he’s said in the past but I feel like he’s rediscovered the character and is enjoying himself. He’s went well above and beyond marketing this movie, so I figure he had a change of heart.

          A change of heart when the character was killed off and he knows he will never have to deal with being in the franchise again? That is really convenient timing for the change of heart.

            Convenient for what exactly? He’s 75 years old, has more money than god, and doesn’t have to care about pretty much anything anymore. Not sure what the big conspiracy is. He doesn’t have to give two shits and yet seems to. I can only go by his actions but dude, he has no upside or downside to embracing or shitting on the character at this point. He can do whatever he wants and he’s been completely involved in a ton of marketing for Star Wars. I can only assume it’s sincere since I can’t figure out any other reason.

            Yeah not everything is some sort of cynical game. He’s in his 70’s and he’s having fun with it. More power to him. First role in years I’ve seen him do that he wasn’t phoning it in.

            I wasn’t commenting on the performance nor that it was a conspiracy but I think most people can read between the lines and say that Harrison is happy to be rid of the character. He is putting on a good face for the company and playing ball for Disney. It doesn’t change my view on him as an actor or the character of Han Solo, I am just not that naive to think he had a change of heart after nearly 3 decades of off comments.

    Hate digital copies but I think they will wind up replacing DVD/BD in the next few years altogether.

        I mean to the point where no DVD/BD’s exist in any retail store the way that all VHS tapes are gone now. Though I think we will be there by Episode IX if not sooner.

    It seems so weird there is nothing official with a release date around the corner. I’d like to see it, but I am not wagering on this news…

    I want to jump all over the initial digital copy when it comes out earlier but I know I am going to pick up the Blu Ray combo pack that comes with a digital copy. Double dipping is not my style.

    The 1080p 7.1 Torrent is already up as of this morning. Just watched it twice today! Thank God it as my day off! I just noticed Yoda’s voice..he says “energy”. Didn’t notice that in the theater.
