Star Wars - The Force Awakens on Windows 10 (Spoiler Free)

No, we have not entered the realm of reviewing movies here at the SuperSite but there is some nice Windows 10 related opportunities when it comes to the movie.

Star Wars - The Force Awakens on Windows 10 (Spoiler Free)

No, we have not made the leap into reviewing movies here at the SuperSite but we do have a couple of Star Wars: The Force Awakens tidbits that we think will be of interest to all of you.

However, speaking of seeing the movie, I did go see it last night and it was thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the visit to watch it in a crowded theater.  Feeling and being part of the audience reactions as familiar faces came on screen for the first time, the laughter and the gasps as the movie moved forward really made for a great viewing experience.

I highly recommend it.

So what if you are not the theater type and prefer to wait for the DVD, Blu-Ray or digital release? Well an offer that just showed up in the Windows Store will be of great interest to you - just like the plot of this movie.

As of today you can find Star Wars: The Force Awakens (HD) being offered for digital pre-order in the Windows Store on all Windows 10 devices for $14.95 - a savings of $5 - and a really good price to add the film in your digital collection.

If you have been following along this past week you have also seen the stream of Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps that have been released from several big name companies.

Well overnight, the very popular BB-8 App-Enabled Droid toy, received some Windows UWP love as well with the release of a Windows UWP app that allows you to control the toy instead of only having to use an iOS or Android device.

That makes this droid the one you are looking for on Windows for sure!

Enjoy the movie!

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
