Don't be fooled by the mock-up...
1The title will only appear on the j-card, NOT the actual steelbook itself, which will remain title-less, by all accounts. I see on a number of internet forums (and in some of the reviews posted here) that many people have been cancelling their pre-orders in favour of either the standard Amaray case edition, or the Best Buy version in North America (being released in the US and Canada), which has the same (albeit rather poor) artwork, but at least has the title on the front AND spine of the actual steelbook. I'm seriously considering doing the same myself, as this would just look so out of place amongst my treasured steelbook collection, and certainly doesn't represent value for money for what is supposed to be a premium edition.

Awful Design
11) Weird choice of background colour. Black would have worked better, especially with Kylo Ren and his red lightsaber. 2) No title. 3) Individual posters on the side look out of place. 4) Captain Phasma? Really? Why not the film poster or some exclusive artwork?

No 3D = NO SALE
1Zavvi deleted my previous review so I hope this one gets through. I agree with the other comments regarding the lack of text on the spine and cover - it smacks of cheapness. But my main issue is the failure to include the 3D version of the film . As far as I am concerned, if a movie is released theatrically in 3D it needs to be released on 3D blu ray. A 2D only release is simply worthless to me, bonus disc or no bonus disc. As soon as it was clear this would just include the 2D version, it instantly moved from a must-buy to a must-not-buy.

still no good
1NOPE the film is excellent but this artwork is still poor even with the title, I was really looking forward to this Steelbook as I rarely buy Steelbooks but I made a special exception for this movie. However I requested a refund and brought the normal blu ray in stead.

Terrible artwork...
1I was really looking forward for this release, but the artwork is plain terrible! Those little pictures on the spine are totally out of place. Im going to order the regular edition in sleeve instead.

Hmmmm
1Well, you have to give the, credit for changing the artwork and I thank them for that but it was the spine which was bothering the fans the most. Just the name of the film 'Star Wars The Force Awakens' would have done otherwise it would look out of place within the collection of other steelbooks. Thank you

Fantastic Movie, Poor Steelbook
1Like many others I was so, so excited for the release of this steelbook. The initial concept art was fantastic, but this is a huge disappointment. I wouldn't have minded if the concept art was subject to minor tweaks before the final artwork was put into production, as this is understandable, but the revised artwork is a massive step backwards and, by the sounds of things, has left a lot of fans incredibly disappointed. I guess Zavvi's intention was to match the other individual steelbooks, which is understandable for anyone who wanted to collect a set with a running theme. However the individual steelbooks haven't exactly been selling like hot cakes, and personally I'm not a fan of those either. It is all down to personal taste, so arguably some people may like, or even prefer this artwork. Unfortunately it's just not for me so I've cancelled my pre-order. I will have a hunt around for any imports which could be a good equivalent, but I actually quite like the artwork which is for standard blu ray, so I may just stick with that and enjoy the bonus content (another topic which bugs me about Zavvi's steelbooks with lack of additional content - but that is a rant for another time!!)

Extremely Disappointing
1Was hoping this steelbook would be better than Best Buy's but it's actually a tad bit worse, Best Buy's at least has the title on the front and the spine. Nonetheless I'll be picking up Target 's exclusive blu ray release as it has beautiful packaging and artwork inside and out and maybe even walmart's as it has really nice BB-8 artwork! here's hoping they'll release another edition of the steelbook to go along with the previously released steelbook of episodes 1-6
