I feel a little foolish having spent so much time on yesterdays post, but it is one of those rare times I'm glad to have been wrong. It turns out that Disney and Lucasfilm (even though they are essentially the same company now) have confirmed that on November 5th, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will be hitting BluRay 3D! It will be a four disk set and contain all the special features on the previous BluRay release, a couple of retailer exclusive bonus features that have been opened up, and a couple of new ones. A price hasn't been announced, but my personal guess is this will retail somewhere between $49-$59. As you can see, I've posted the image for the potential cover art above. Now, if Disney REALLY wants to revive BluRay 3D this Christmas, they could also give us a 3D release of "Frozen!" I'm just saying, it would certainly sell!
Oh, and as for the 3D versions of the prequel trilogy, there is still a chance those can be released somewhere down the line. At this point, maybe it would make sense for Disney to make 3D conversions of the original trilogy, and then release all seven in a giant box set that they know fans will but even if they don't have a 3D TV. For now though, we can officially strike "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" off the MIA list!
The closer this gets to $20 the better.
We all bought the 2D version already and I think 'Finding Dory' is coming out the same day.
