'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Digital, Blu-ray Release Dates Revealed
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is still going strong in cinemas, but fans will soon be able to enjoy the flick at home, too: Disney announced on Thursday the official release dates for the film's digital, DVD, and Blu-ray formats.
The digital edition of "The Force Awakens" will be made available first, beginning on April 1 (and no, that's not an April Fools joke). Multiple online retailers will offer the Digital HD version.
Physical formats of the flick will follow on April 5, with a Blu-ray Combo Pack (featuring the flick in three formats: Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD) and a standard DVD version hitting shelves.
