The Force Awakens is the seventh episode in the sci-fi franchise created by George Lucas. These just came in from Movie Jones and Collider. “They carry the movie”.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters December 18.

“He actually offered to teach me” to fly the Falcon, added Isaac, who plays pilot Poe Dameron.

Hoskins said tickets for the “Star Wars” premiere next week are selling briskly, and she hopes people wear costumes to share their fandom. Even things that are even the most fundamental and beloved are changing before our eyes and we don’t even notice it. I get that. How about another angle of a moment seen in the trailers, with Harrison Ford’s Han Solo and Carrie Fisher’s Leia having an emotional reunion?

Before selling Lucasfilm to Disney a few years back, Lucas had begun working on the next three films in the series, but none of that material was used by Abrams and company for either the main trilogy or the spinoffs like Rogue One. The studio is planning to release a stand-alone film about a young Solo in 2018.

Would you have regretted it if you’d said no? “If the well has run dry, (expletive) admit it and go on to something else”. Here’s Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren, Domhnall Gleeson’s General Hux, and Gwendoline Christie’s Captain Phasma doing their evil thing on the bridge of a Star Destroyer.

Lucasfilm’s creative executive Pablo Hidalgo helped you answer questions about the “Star Wars” universe during the making of the film. Are these people I want to go to bed with? “That’s what we do”. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. “Viewers will see the transition from fencing and samurai swordplay in the original films to an increased focus on martial arts and the sport of kendo”. When I was watching the reels in 3-D, there were a number of shots – and I know this sounds insane – that I hadn’t understood in the three-dimensional space quite the way I did when I saw them in 3-D. Today, with everything just a button push away on the computer, 30+ days sounds like an eternity. He broke his left leg and was grounded for months.

Recalling the moment, John said: “I’m like, oh crap!” “I didn’t have much to think about. If he has time, can Robert Downey Jr. mentor me?”

After his work on the postponed production eventually wrapped up, Ford endured another mishap involving a flying machine. That said, Star Wars has 40 years of nostalgia that it can bank on to pack those theaters, regardless of the time of year.
