Dave Filoni Examines Vader VS. Ahsoka In New Star Wars Rebels: Season Two Blu-ray Clip
We are now less than a month away from the premiere of season three of Star Wars Rebels! But before we get started with an all new season, we can take a look at back the the previous one with the Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season Two Blu-ray and DVD set, which hits retailers on Tuesday.
Today, IGN released a brand new clip from the Blu-ray which features executive producer Dave Filoni discussing the long awaited showdown between Ahsoka Tano and her former master Darth Vader in the season two finale. You can watch it below:
The Blu-ray and DVD editions will have a featurette about the duel, titled "From Apprentice to Adversary: Vader vs. Ahsoka." In addition, another featurette titled "Connecting the Galaxy: Rebels Season Two" will be included along with the previously released Rebels Recon episodes. Be on the lookout for our review of the Blu-ray here at the SWU.
Something else worth mentioning is some stunning concept art from season two that i09 released which gives us a glimpse into the design process of Darth Vader, Hondo Ohnaka and AP-5. You can see a few pieces below and the rest over on i09:
The season two Blu-ray and DVD is set for release on August 30th and season three will premiere on Disney XD on September 24th at 8:30PM ET/PT

UK Fanbase Outraged At Lack of Bonus Content On The Force Awakens DVD Release
Less than a week has passed since Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released in the UK (April 18), and yet instead of celebrating the launch of Episode VII on multi media platforms, criticism has been levied against Disney and LucasFilm for the lack of bonus content accompanied with the DVD version of The Force Awakens.
According to the Independent, the DVD (which was priced at £9.99) included little more than the film. Whilst the Blu-Ray included both deleted scenes and a series of behind-the-scenes documentaries, and cost an extra £5.
One fan reported his view on the matter to The Mirror:
"I was really looking forward to this: I don't have a Blu-ray player, so was intending to use the digital download key to get the movie online. But there is no digital download with the UK version: the US version has this. Completely unacceptable and I can't think of a better way of driving people who WANT to buy a legitimate version to piracy sites. Idiots."
On Twitter and Amazon, some fans have expressed their fury at Disney for attempting to induce people to purchase the Blu-Ray. Their outcry also centres around the seeming misled promotion scandal, as many outlets have chosen not to overtly declare that the UK DVD release contains no documentaries or deleted scene content.
In an interview with The Guardian, a Disney spokesperson responded to the criticisms:
"As a company we are committed to seeking out the best ways to provide audiences with access to Disney content. Each territory is different, and we evaluate and enact distribution strategies on a market-by-market basis. In the UK this means we do not include extras across our DVD products. On Blu-ray and digital download offerings for 'The Force Awakens' are providing audiences with a wealth of extras including a special documentary, behind-the-scenes looks and much more that are now being enjoyed by thousands."
The frustration of fans is completely understandable, particularly when it feels like that market consumers are being pushed to spend more money by distributors. However, from a marketing standpoint, it makes sense for Disney to want to promote the more expensive version of The Force Awakens, which includes a better visualised and audio version of the film, and a monopoly in bonus content.

Report: Bonus Footage With The Target Exclusive 'The Force Awakens' Blu-Ray Will Be Digital Only
We are now less than a month away from Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens coming to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD. Recently it was revealed that three retailer exclusives would be available at Walmart, Target, Best Buy and the Disney Store, each of which would include unique special features. The Target exclusive quickly became a fan favorite because it includes twenty minutes of bonus behind the scenes footage. Now, thanks to Yakface, we have learned that there is a bit of a catch to this.
@Sandman804 on Twitter shared a screenshot of an email they recently received from Target concerning the Blu-ray. In it, Target explains that the bonus content will not be distributed on an extra disc. Instead, a code and URL will be included in the packaging that will allow owners to download the content via Disney Movies Anywhere. You can see the email below:

So, the content will be accessible to those who buy the Target exclusive Blu-ray, it just won't be on a physical disc. I don't necessarily see this as a problem, but it is nice to know this prior to buying.
Regardless of your choice, The Force Awakens will be available on Blu-ray and DVD April 5th, and digital HD five days earlier on April 1st.

Report: 'The Force Awakens' Blu-Ray To Include Three Discs
Now that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is beginning to make its way out of theaters we can look ahead to home video release. Today our friends at Jedi News stumbled upon some interesting info on the listing for the film on Blu-Ray.com. According to the site, it will be a three disc set, including 2 Blu-rays and a DVD, along with Google Play and iTunes digital copies. They speculate that this could mean that we'll be getting at least one disc fully devoted to bonus features. You can see a screenshot of the listing below:
Considering all the deleted scenes we've heard about thus far, it would be awesome to see them all featured on a bonus disc along with plenty of other behind the scenes content. The Force Awakens is reportedly hitting home video on April 5th. Of course, we have to take all this info with a grain of salt until we get an official announcement from Lucasfilm.
