Just a few months after Star Wars: The Force Awakens launched on Blu-ray and DVD in April, Disney has now announced plans to re-release the film on home video--and with new bonus features and in 3D.

The new version is called Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3D Collector's Edition. The four-disc collection includes the original theatrical release on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, and digital HD. Bonus features include additional deleted scenes and new audio commentary from director JJ Abrams. It also comes with "behind-the-scenes conversations with cast and crew."

Here's a full rundown of what's included with the new home video version, as written by Disney:

  • Audio Commentary with J.J. Abrams – Enter the mind of visionary director J.J. Abrams as he reveals the creative and complex choices made while developing the first film in the new Star Wars trilogy.
  • Foley: A Sonic Tale – Foley artists, consisting of old pros and new talent, unite to bring the world of Star Wars: The Force Awakens alive through the matching of sound to action.
  • Sounds of the Resistance – Hear how the epic sound design of Star Wars: The Force Awakens moves the Star Wars legacy forward.
  • Deleted Scenes – View never-before-shared scenes that didn't make the film's final cut.
  • Dressing the Galaxy – Costume designer Michael Kaplan reveals how the costumes of the original Star Wars movies were re-envisioned for a new generation.
  • The Scavenger and the Stormtrooper: A Conversation with Daisy Ridley and John Boyega – The two new stars share the thrill of working together on the adventure of a lifetime and becoming part of the Star Wars legacy.
  • Inside the Armory – Take a fascinating tour through the design and creation of the weaponry in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The package also comes with "classic bonus features," which is the bonus content from the initial April release. This included things like a making-of mini-documentary and some deleted scenes, among other things.
