The Last Jedi is available now on video-on-demand with the Blu-ray set to release in two weeks, and fans are already digging into the treasure-trove of special features the downloadable version of the movie offers. In addition to the documentary The Director and the Jedi, director Rian Johnson provides a commentary track and a large amount of deleted scenes.
On the commentary track, we learn the extremely important fact that Laura Dern couldn’t stop saying “pew pew” while shooting her blaster, proving once again that she’s one of the greatest to ever be on-screen.

But a truly unique special feature is actually hidden from users: an isolated score-only version of the film that features what could be one of the final Star Wars soundtracks by John Williams. Now you can watch Luke chug some blue milk to the swooping beauty of John Williams’ music, like you were always supposed to, maybe. So, how do you unlock this special feature?
Johnson took a break from discussing the childhoods he ruined with angry fans on Twitter to explain exactly how you access this music-only version of The Last Jedi.
The Last Jedi’s out today in the states for digital download, blu in two weeks. Of all the special features, my favorite one is kinda hidden, so wanted to call it out. If you buy the movie anywhere online (or the blu) you have access to a music only version of TLJ.

This is the full movie, but with no dialogue, fx or backgrounds… just John’s score. I really wanted to put this out, it’s really something to see John’s music play with the movie, like a silent film.

The one hoop you have to jump through to get it: get the Movies Anywhere app and link whatever account you bought the movie with to it. It’s free, it works pretty painlessly. Kinda a pain I know, but I think it’s worth it to get this version.
