I've been considering this release, and have been totally been on the fence.
But now you sold me on not getting it - had not thought about it being a lot like Force Awakens...
No as Disney Movies Anywhere is USA only
I replied to this a few weeks ago when first mentioned by another HDN member
It's only availavle
Code with USA Blu-ray to use on Disney Movies Anywhere and iTunes USA
Rian Johnson tweet clearly mentions access is through Disney Movies Anywhere
That happened to me a while back with Edge Of Tomorrow. The whole 3D effect was reversed. Thought I had a faulty disc until I popped it in my U.S. player and it looks fine. That one has Bluetooth and updates automatically. My UK has to be updated manually which is a pain!Received mine on Thursday (3D) and its a rather nice steelbook indeed. Exceeded my expectations given usual WWA offerings.
However, with my Sony player, both 3D+2D discs freeze up before offering language of choiceWhich is a bit strange as the bonus disc plays fine.
N.B. I know the 2D disc plays fine in another player. Reason I got this was to see it in 3D. Rotten luck I guess and time to upgrade the player.
We all just take technology for granted until it goes all quirky. 3D effects being reversed? I imagine (and must be so wrong with this idea) that all background objects popped towards creating one helluva viewing experience
Suppose it would have been a fuller ride to what I have with TLJ so far. Time to learn how to do a firmware upgrade and see if that brings TLJ in 3D to the Rattray household
Really like this steel. Looking forward to blufans but this is a nice wwa version
Found this amusing (in a sad way). Got these the same day and noticed both have similar front arts and together both look like they are about to battle with the exact weapon pose, both full gloss, both lovely debossed titles, C-3po is sh*tting it pointing at prime and as @PKAVFC pointed out to me the other day both have very similar names (could even merge - The Last Jedi Knight)

Yep, this is one of the best WWA steels in some time "IMO" looks great.
Watched the 3D disc last night and it was AWESOME!
Yes, it was headache inducing to say the least (and I love 3D).We all just take technology for granted until it goes all quirky. 3D effects being reversed? I imagine (and must be so wrong with this idea) that all background objects popped towards creating one helluva viewing experience

It was just unwatchable. I never realised how a lack of an update could throw everything off like that.
I watched it again and it was even worse second time around.
Tried to like it for the sake of being a SW fan. All it did to me was realise how much more I missed Lucas and his much more dynamic prequels that gave us thrills and excitements.
Kathleen Kennedy and Disney destroyed the franchise

I'm actually interested to see how JJ follows this up. I won't be going to see Solo though. Looks terrible!
Since this film came out, you've had nothing but the director explaining it and giving his reasons why he did what he did (even two special features on the Blu Ray cover this)
Says a lot, and it's a bad sign when a filmmaker has to constantly defend or explain his/her own film if you ask me.
After watching it again, some fans are saying JJ's Force Awakens was a remake of the original and they welcomed the completely different direction that this went. But if you break it down, this was just a re-jiggling of the rest of the movie's.
The whole Snoke scenario is basically just ROTJ and the Emperor revisited (he even utters the words 'chose your destiny' or something to that effect!)
Crait is basically Hoth complete with At-Ats and trenches.
Yodas scene is basically a repeat of what went before in Empire. Telling Luke to concentrate on the 'now'.
There's even a deleted creature 'celebration' scene that was a straight up nod to the Ewoks (drum banging and all)
When you break this film down, Johnson has basically offered nothing new to the saga either.......
Luke even bows out to twin suns just like we were introduced to him looking at them in the first film! *Sigh*.......please!
No more 'homages'. Let's have some originality please.

Well Disney Movies Anywhere is now no more anyways, they expired all the Apps etc. It has been renamed to simply Movies Anywhere because they have been getting other studios on board much like an Ultraviolet. Its been pretty ace tho cause it ties in by retailer so it imports all your stuff from amazon purchases, itunes, and few others.
so maybe you can use it for Movies Anywhere.
Movies Anywhere is still USA only at the moment
Movies Anywhere has not been launched for UK/Europe
You need a US IP address to create an Movies Anywhere account
Some VPN will work and some won't

I thought I remembered buying UK/Ire blu rays with 'movies anywhere' stickers on them? Sounds familiar....
Movies Anywhere is USA only
Your PC or Device you are using needs to have a USA IP address to create an account
They have blocked some VPN programs but not all
If have a PC connected to a USA server you could set up an account

I don’t think JJ A. can salvage the mess that was caused from SW8. Disney might as well let RJ finish off what he had caused and then let a totally new director and screenplay go ahead for the next trilogy.
It’s very difficult for movies to carry on from a disaster. Easiest thing to do is let them be, wait a good for years and then think of a totally new story. We’ve seen that in Batman and Superman (I know they were reboots) Jurassic world, Alien 5 was going to ignore Alien 3-4 but project was cancelled due to Covenant and it’s sequel, and T6 ignoring T3-T5 (and Linda Hamilton is back!!
)May the force be with JJA! He’s got a lot of work to do to redeem this trilogy!
