Star Wars: The Force Awakens - First Teaser

I don't know about you, but I am intrigued.





One thing I am a bit curious about is John Boyega. If he is a Stormtrooper does that mean the clones were eliminated? Or have civilians gained the chance to join alongside the clones?
Another thing I am curious about is this Sith creature. Is it human? Is it some form of life? Either way, that lightsaber looks pretty creative.

Star Wars Episode VII full title revealed

We finally have the official title for Star Wars Episode VII. This news hits a little over one year from the December release date.

Make way for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.



The photo was shared via Twitter on the official Star Wars page and it will be the first Star Wars film in 10 years. It is also the first out of a new trilogy and at least two spin-off films to be released by Disney.

Harrison Ford out for 8 weeks?

It was confirmed last week that Harrison Ford sustained an ankle injury during on the set of Star Wars Episode VII. He was reported to be receiving care at a local hospital after a set piece fell on him. There is news now that the injury could sideline him for up to 8 weeks.

Rumors stated that it was the door of the Millennium Falcon that landed on Ford at Pinewood Studios in England, but that hasn't been confirmed. He was airlifted to an area hospital where he's been recuperating. Due to the project's ensemble cast filming has resumed as normal, but with this news there is no telling how long they can postpone any scenes with Han Solo. But with the magic of body doubles and and CGI I don't think this is anything to fret over.

Disney confirms stand-alone Star Wars films

Disney is sure having a field day with this new toy they acquired.

Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that the rumor of stand-alone Star Wars films that will not be part of the new trilogy is in fact true. Disney is working on separate Star Wars films that are not going to be considered an "episode" that fits into the new Star Wars trilogy which is set to begin with Episode VII. Here is an excerpt from Iger's comments via CNBC:
"I can confirm to you today that in fact we are working on a few standalone films, Larry Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are both working on films derived from great Star Wars characters that are not part of the overall saga. We still plan to make Star Wars 7, 8, and 9 roughly over a six-year period of time, starting in 2015. But there are going to be a few other films released in that period, too."

Now... another rumor has surfaced that the first stand-alone film is going to be centered around Yoda but naturally Iger had nothing to say about that rumor. I personally hope that remains to be a crock of shit, but knowing what Disney is capable of it is most likely true. I wonder if everyone who was happy about Disney acquiring Star Wars is still happy.

Star Wars 3D re-releases to continue

Given the fairly successful 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace the powers that be have decided to continue the re-releases with Episodes II and III.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones is set for release on September 20, 2013.
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is set for release on October 4, 2013.


Now, I hate Episode I with a fiery passion so I chose not to see it in theaters. However, I might see Episodes II and/or III. I love Episode III so that will be a definite.

Star Wars will have 3D releases in 2013

It was announced at the Star Wars Celebration this weekend that due to the success of the 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace there will be yet another re-release in 2013... actually, make that two.

3D re-releases of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith will be released back to back in the fall of 2013. Episode II will be released on September 20th and Episode III will be released on October 11th. This will most likely push the 3D re-releases of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi closer than 2015 as originally planned by Lucasfilm.

Now I am a huge Star Wars fan but I haven't been excited about the 3D re-releases. I chose not to see Episode I this past February because I hate Jar Jar Binks with a fiery passion. I think the only re-release I might catch will be Episode III because that is the best of the prequels.
