No 3D, awful artwork and doesn't match the other six

Had two of these on pre-order when the artwork looked promising. I have now cancelled them both because of this lazy new design and Zavvi's bad attitude towards other reviewers.

The final design of the cover is AWFUL. its like some sort of fifth time rerelease from 2019 STOP IT.

This product is awful. Absolutely awful. To take a perfectly good design, change the background and the spine is equivalent of smearing dirt over the Mona Lisa and trying to sell it for 50 Million... To be honest I would rather watch Attack of the Clones every day of my life than buy this... Star Wars fans deserve more than having this sheep **** in their collection.

First off - the movie is decent. It pays homage to what made the originals great (some might say to a fault), washes away the filth that the terrible sequels left behind, and sets things up nicely for the new characters to take center stage in the sequels. i can't wait for Ep8! Onto the steelbook... The decision to release the steelbook without a spine title, or a title on the front, defeats the purpose of making a steelbook in the first place in my opinion. Steelbooks are intended as something special for collectors, not for the average consumer (who'll just buy the amaray or digital version). I understand that it keeps manufacturing costs down as the suppliers are able to ship the same 'textless' design to multiple regions... but steelbooks are the 'premium' versions of their amaray partners, therefore compromising them in away way defeats their purpose. Why do the designers think potential buyers will be happy for them to cut corners in manufacturing by removing the titles? To add insult to injury the USA will be getting a version with English text/titles! Further, these new releases do not match the recently released wave of steelbooks for Eps1-6, although I'm sure we'll see another matching set for Eps1-7 in the near future, then Eps1-8, and finally yet another set for Eps1-9. I'd also like to add that the decision to hold back features on initial release - in this case a 3D version - is a betrayal to consumers and the fanbase. The physical media market is already waning in the face of digital media/streaming, and shady business practices like this - which force those who want the best available version to double/triple dip - are made all the more devious by their obvious money-grabbing transparency. Holding back the 3D disc - for a Christmas release just before Rogue One hits theatres I imagine - is an insult to those of us that still like to buy physical media and corporations that engage in such disrespectful practices deserve to see their profits fall. In summation, Disney, I am disappoint.

The design for The Force Awakens is an absolute disgrace. A lazy design with no titles in order to save costs is absolutely outrageous. And the trick they're pulling with a 3D release later in the year rather than alongside the standard blu ray makes me incredibly angry. SW fans deserve better than this...

Looks cheap and tacky.... cancelled my pre-order.

Cancelled as soon as I saw the final artwork. Such a disappointment.

After seeing all the USA editions i was really hoping zavvi would follow but this artwork is a joke. It took the bestbuy version and made it even worse somehow. What's with the stupid faces on the spine? and who really cares about phasma? She was barely in the movie. Cancelling preorder

Once again, no titles and a facespine on a Disney release. I have cancelled my order, and will be importing a better version.
