The Blu-ray release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is upon us. Having already been released in the US, fans on our side of the pond will be able to bring the film home a few days from now on April 18th.
One of the notable bonus contents, like with the majority of films, is the deleted scenes. Seven deleted scenes are available on the Blu-ray release, but director J.J. Abrams believes that more deleted scenes are on the way.
Collider talked to Abrams and Simon Pegg (Unkar Plutt) on the red carpet at CinemaCon. Below is the conversation about the deleted scenes:
J.J. ABRAMS: I think there are going to be some more that are going to be available online, but I don’t know when that’s going to happen. But there are some others.
SIMON PEGG: Most of them feature me, funnily enough. There’s a whole story featuring Unkar. Like him opening his shop—
ABRAMS: There is, actually.
COLLIDER: Did Disney say “We’re going to have an ultimate box set and we want to save five minutes for that box set after Episode 9?”
ABRAMS: No, Disney’s been amazing. There’s been no nefarious or weird, “Let’s hold things back for the fans,” but there will be other deleted scenes that will be available for those who wish to see them.
Abrams suggested that some of the deleted scenes may be released online, while some fans have speculated that some could appear on the 3D Blu-ray release later this year.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be released on Blu-ray in the UK/Ireland on April 18th.
Thoughts on this report? Are you hopeful that more deleted scenes from Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be released in the future?
