Details for some of the deleted scenes that will be included on the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Blu-ray were revealed today, just as there was news that a Blu-ray copy leaked on the web.
Disney shared some images with Entertainment Weekly.
The first one was trimmed from the opening attack on a Jakku village, with Finn (John Boyega) still a stormtrooper and still struggling with his role in the massacre. Another image shows Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) finding the Millennium Falcon on Starkiller Base. General Leia (Carrie Fisher) appears in one scene that would have been included earlier in the movie.
Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) shows up in one scene that has the X-Wings getting ready for their assault on the Starkiller Base. Rey (Daisy Ridley) is in another scene that has her asking about Finn’s health after their fight with Kylo Ren. Lastly, another scene will feature a snowspeeder vehicle that got a toy, but didn’t appear in the final cut of the film.
EW revealed that a digitally exclusive scene will feature Han Solo (Harrison Ford) trying to get out of a troublesome situation.
The scenes were revealed just after TorrentFreak revealed that Blu-ray versions already leaked on several pirating sites, including The Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents.
If you want to get the film on home video legally, you don’t have to wait much longer. The Blu-ray and DVD come out on April 5.
