Yesterday brought the news thatStar Wars: The Force AwakensBlu-ray would be making its way into your home early this April, and it’d be bringing a bevy of bonus features with it. Though one of those bonus features was teased by way of a brief look at a deleted scene, we weren’t quite sure how many deleted scenes would be available or what their content would be. That’s all changed.
Thanks to a breakdown of the special features byJB Hi-Fi, we have a look at just what those deleted scenes entail. Some of them we heard about from Steve’s interview withILM visual effects supervisorsRoger GuyettandPatrick Tubach, andcreature supervisorNeal Scanlanand special effects supervisorChris Corbould. Before we dig into their quotes, here’s a look at the deleted scenes you’re able to expect to see on theStar Wars: The Force AwakensBlu-ray:
Feel free to speculate on just what these scenes will be and where in the film they’ll be located; let us know what you think in the comments section! Guyett and Tubach previously mentioned the fact that they had to cut the snow speeder chase scene from the film, so it’s pretty cool that the sequence made the list of approved deleted scenes for the home video presentation. Scanlan and Corbould, meanwhile, mentioned a powerful scene in which Maz Kanata displays her considerable powers, but it doesn’t look like that scene will be showing up here.
