Star Wars: The Force Awakens was directed by J.J. Abrams and written by Lawrence Kasdan & J.J. Abrams and Michael Arndt. Lucasfilm president and eight-time Academy Award nominee Kathleen Kennedy and J.J. Abrams, along with his longtime producing partner Bryan Burk, are the film’s producers.

* Digital bonus offerings may vary by retailer
Does anyone know if the Digital HD piece bundled with the blue ray is from iTunes or is it that ultra thing?
How about a 3-D Blu Ray?
Disney Blu-Ray is always iTunes Digital, not that Ultraviolet garbage. No 3D release (at least for now – total bummer)
