- The Scavenger and the Stormtrooper: A Conversation with Daisy Ridley and John Boyega - There is no doubt that J.J. Abrams made a brilliant casting decision with Finn and Rey, and to sit and listen to the chemistry between John Boyega and Daisy Ridley outside of the film is even better. The two stars share some great stories along with a couple new clips never seen before and it will leave you loving the two characters more than before.
- Foley: A Sonic Tale & Sounds of the Resistance - I'm lumping these two features together, because they both involve sound, but they are also both wildly fascinating. 'Foley: A Sonic Tale' explores the foley artists who worked on The Force Awakens and if you don't know anything about foley then you are missing out. It is an amazing art that is taken for granted in the movie world. 'Sounds of the Resistance' follows up and shares some of the work done on the sound design and blending with the score. Plus, it has a clip of Ben Schwartz doing his voice work for BB-8 and that makes it worth it for me.
- Deleted Scenes - The deleted scenes on this Collector's Edition aren't the strongest extra features, but because the clips were mostly finished and scored it makes them worth watching. Most are extremely short, but the clip to look for is the one that would've been Leia's first onscreen appearance in the movie that was cut to build up to her dramatic reveal.
- Commentary by J.J. Abrams - This was one of the biggest selling points of this Collector's Edition and it didn't disappoint. There is no one who knows more about The Force Awakens than Abrams and he shares everything you could want to hear over the course of the 2 hour and 15 minute movie with very few gaps. Seriously, if you've never listened to a movie with commentary before, this should be your first. It is fascinating and will make you appreciate The Force Awakens in a brand new way.
