"The Force was strong this morning in Chicago, and the crowd awakened with cheers and applause over the announcement that the galaxy far, far away is coming to exactly where you like to watch movies. Bob announced that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be available digitally beginning April 1 and on Blu-ray and DVD on April 5."
