I certainly hope that is not the case.

As much as I love the movie and am looking forward to all the extras, I'm not buying it (or any other movie) if it is missing any features. It is a very simple matter to the isolated movie score in the iTunes Extras package for all the other iTunes Stores around the world.

I'm annoyed as it is that US customers didn't get the Abrams commentary added to TFA, meaning no-one will.

Hamill was on Irish TV on Friday singing the praises of the music only feature on the home release. I don't hold the man to account for that - not his fault if we get shafted again.

Tell there is a social media campaign to get this outside the US?

Every bit of marketing I see for the score-only version does say it is MA-exclusive "for a limited time".

Doesn't say for how long or what happens afterwards, though. Are they putting it on other services? Or taking it offline forever (whaaaaaaaaa)?

By the way, why the heck is this not included on the discs themselves? Isolated scores literally scream "lossless audio", yet studios rarely bother.

Is it not built in to the disc either?

That and this limited time rubbish is so stupid.

There are people who normally wouldn't but the movie who want it just for a Williams' isolated score.

They went to the effort of making it the damn thing like.

Yep, already in the US store:

This is excellent news.

I Hope all the other Star Wars movies are getting a score only version.

Where did you hear that all iTunes stores are getting the music only version?

The iTunes Extra preview in the Irish Store still shows a "Play with Commentary" on the main menu and not the "Movie Selection" that shows in the US store previewing worried again.

Amen to that, my friend.

According to some chatter going on in the main Last Jedi thread, looks like the isolated score is also on the disc version, hidden behind a code.

That probably explains why the limited-time "exclusive" Movies Anywhere had on it appears to be ending.

Where? There are so many threads that there's no way to know which "main" one you're talking about.

Sorry, I meant the one on the NA Blu-ray subforum. No one there has been able to confirm it yet and they seem to be going off a recent Mark Hamill interview.

I thought someone already posted a scan of the disc and there was no extra audio track...

It is a hidden feature.

Rian Johnson already confirmed that all digital and blu-ray owners would be able to access the music only feature - so it there somewhere.

Hmm... worst case scenario, this will be the triumphant return of BD-Live special features, lol.

EDIT: So I finally started looking around myself... This sounds pretty definitive to me, or everyone involved is just extremely misinformed or something?

EDITEDIT: Oh god, just realized... the code Hamill was talking about... was it the digital redemption code? 🤣

I don't think it is fair to rely on Hamill's comments as gospel on how to access the feature.

I was watching the interview and it was an off the cuff remark and he may not have had all the information at the time.

And if the feature is only available in digital versions, well it is about time Lucasfilm stooped neglecting iTunes users.

Can anyone confirm the score only version will be available in iTunes outside the US and Canada?

They're not neglecting them. You just can't purchase a 4k version there. You can get the isolated score there.

I wasn't referring to 4K, but to the absence of the Abrams' commentary on The Force Awakens.

And Indiana Jones and Willow are also missing extras.

ManOfTheForest · 04-09-2018, 02:12 AM

Australia and New Zealand got the Score only version.

The Irish and UK stores are still just showing a commentary option - can anyone tell me if the music only version appears after buying the movie?
