"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is finally available for purchase, at least on digital HD.
As fans are starting to dig through the special features, including an hour-long documentary on the making-of the film, diehard fans will pour over the film's seven deleted scenes.
If you don't plan on getting your hands on a copy of "The Force Awakens," a physical Blu-ray and DVD will arrive April 5, here's what's in store.
1. “Finn and the Villager”
In this 31-second scene from the start of the film, we see an extended shot from Finn's point of view. One of his fellow Stormtroopers has just been killed, leaving a bloody handprint on his mask. Terrified and confused, he runs into a Jakku villager. Instead of killing her on sight, as instructed, he hesitates, scared, and let's her go unharmed.
2. “Jakku Message”
This 47-second clip would have introduced General Leia Organa (formerly Princess Leia) and C-3PO into the film much sooner. After Poe's captured by Kylo Ren, Leia learns the Jakku village where she sent Poe was destroyed by the First Order. Instead, Organa orders the Resistance to focus its efforts on finding BB-8, who may hold the key to Luke's whereabouts.
There's also a brief appearance by Greg Grunberg, asking about his comrade Poe.
3. “X-Wings Prepare for Lightspeed”
The 22-second scene is an extended version of the X-Wing fighters arriving to Maz Kanata's castle after the First Order attacks and kidnaps Rey. This would have marked the first time we saw Poe Dameron back on screen after he was believed dead on Jakku.
The scene, with unfinished visual effects, shows Poe with BB-8 in space, getting ready to head into lightspeed. It was probably best for this scene to be cut. Seeing Poe again for the first time in space feels less rewarding than finding out he survived crash landing on Jakku from Finn's point of view as he flies over head.
