While it seems like only yesterday since STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS hit theaters, it looks like Disney is aiming for a home release sooner rather than later, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger revealed today at The Walt Disney Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The film will hit digital on April 1, and will follow up with physical releases on April 5.

“Packaged with the film is a galaxy of bonus content that will take fans inside the making of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, including an in-depth documentary, featurettes, and more. Secrets will be revealed through extensive footage, never-before-seen deleted scenes, and exclusive interviews with the actors and filmmakers. Bonus features include*:

Of course, because Disney is well aware that some folks are collecting nuts, the film’s physical media will be slightly different depending on which retailer you purchase it from. In addition to the slight added content from Target, each of these three will come in completely different packaging.

“STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS saw the eagerly anticipated reteaming of original STAR WARS stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill, along with Anthony Daniels, the only actor to have been in all seven STAR WARS films, and Peter Mayhew. The returning cast was joined by newcomer Daisy Ridley, who beat out fierce competition to take the principal role of Rey; BAFTA Rising Star Award winner John Boyega as reluctant stormtrooper Finn; Emmy nominee Adam Driver as the villainous Kylo Ren, and Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac as Resistance pilot Poe Dameron.

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS was directed by J.J. Abrams and written by Lawrence Kasdan & J.J. Abrams and Michael Arndt. Lucasfilm president and eight-time Academy Award nominee Kathleen Kennedy and J.J. Abrams, along with his longtime producing partner Bryan Burk, are the film’s producers. Having established a musical legacy with his iconic scores for the previous six films in the STAR WARS saga, acclaimed composer John Williams returned to score STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, ultimately garnering his 50th Oscar nomination for his work.”
