A special thank you goes out to Disney Home Entertainment for sending my family a copy of the Star Wars The Last Jedi Blu-Ray for review as well as providing press information. Opinions expressed in this post are that of my own.
I am sure you would agree that seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi in theatres was pretty awesome, but NOW it is even more AMAZING because you can own it as a Blu-Ray and Digital Copy with all the spectacular Bonus Extras.
My family and I have been exploring the discs included in the Blu-Ray pack and have really enjoyed watching the deleted scenes, the creation of Snoke in Andy Serkis Live! (One Night Only), as well as the documentary The Director and the Jedi.
However, I have to say that one of the coolest parts of the extras was the “Scene Breakdowns”. I especially liked the Showdown on Crait where it explains how the planet was created as well as how the Vulptex (Crystal Foxes) were brought to life in the film.

I highly recommend taking the time to explore all of the Blu-Ray and Digital Bonus Features, because they really give you a different take on the film as well as insight into all of the work that goes into a work of this magnitude.
