The force will awaken on Blu-ray this April!

Today, Amazon notified customers that pre-ordered J.J. Abrams' mega-blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Blu-ray that they will receive their copy on by April 5th, 2016. They then updated their website with the official date as well.

There's still no information on the special features that will be included with the Blu-ray release. The current retail price is $19.99.

Set thirty years after the events of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens picks up the story of a galaxy turned upside-down with the deposition of the evil Empire and the rise of the Rebel Alliance to take its place. With the cruel First Order rising to fill the void left by the Empire's destruction and the Resistance dedicated to eradicating their influence, heroes Finn and Rey will need to stop the villainous Kylo Ren and the First Order from assuming total control of the galaxy, with the help of old heroes Han Solo and Leia Organa.
