Feted Hollywood director JJ Abrams has shot down rumours that he edited out several of Lupita Nyongo’s scenes from Star Wars: The Force Awakens because her performance was lacking.
You know George Lucas, the guy whose life may or may not have been ruined by the franchise he created?
Fans visiting the Star Wars Launch Bay have a chance to check out movie memorabilia, props, and more. That theory appears to have been punctured by the new report. For now, we’ll have to take Kathleen Kennedy’s word that he enjoyed the experience of seeing his beloved series worked over by someone completely new.
In many ways, Force Awakens co-writer Lawrence Kasdan has the right approach to the two trilogies, in that he’s apparently able to set them apart entirely as different entities.
Perhaps, instead of Kenobi, the line may be replaced with, “It has seen the end of Luke Skywalker”, especially taking into account the many rumors of Skywalker dying in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Directed by J.J. Abrams, it stars both fan favorites Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), and Harrison Ford (Han Solo).
“It is a real privilege to be a small part of the “Star Wars” universe”, Boudreaux said. “It’s always joyful and always uplifting even though bad things happen”. In the latest installment, the villain is Kylo Ren, a mysterious character portrayed by Adam Driver, who promises to finish what Darth Vader started.

Aside from fan anticipation, the movie faces lofty box office projections for the opening weekend, from US$170 million to US$220 million in just the United States and Canada, a level never achieved in December. Next year, the first Anthology film Rogue One will be released – but there won’t be any linking between The Force Awakens and the first spin-off. Currently Jurassic World holds the record with 208.8 Dollars million achieved in in June 2015.
