The Blu-ray also gives fans the chance to take a peek into the film's production, allowing them to experience what it is like to direct a "Star Wars" film. Another feature of this release is "Balance of the Force," which will dig deeper into the mythology of the Force and why director Rian Johnson decided to interpret it that way. There is also "Creating the Space Battle," which offers a better look at the epic space battle that took place in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."

For fans who want to see how the production was able to bring Snoke to life, the Blu-ray also includes "Snoke and Mirrors," which takes fans to the detailed process of creating Snoke, including the motion capture process used by Andy Serkis. The physical release also includes two sequences featuring Serkis' performance as the popular villain, as well as an audio commentary by director Johnson himself.

The "Star Wars: The Last Jedi's" Blu-ray release will also feature scene breakdowns and 14 deleted scenes, but Disney and Lucasfilm have yet to reveal what these scenes are.
