Fans eager to see the first “Star Wars” movie in a decade came dressed as Stormtroopers or Jedi.
Moreover, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is not the only movie that has changed its release date in India. Standing there, I remember holding my dad’s hand, looking up, and trying to catch snowflakes on my tongue. “I don’t think you can make the Kleenex tissues movie, or the Coca-Cola bottle movie”. “I actually had to pay 50 percent of a seat on an airplane for him (Yoda) to ride with me”, Frisque said. The final words uttered were “what if the movie sucks?” But for now, here’s a quick round up of everything we know so far about Episode VIII. “A lot of that will depend on how the movie does on Saturday”. Maybe not something bad, but something different. Carlos Boyero, a critic at El Pais, Spain’s most influential quality newspaper became a trending topic in Spain for not liking “Star Wars”.
Walt Disney Co has “struck more than gold” with the “Star Wars” franchise and it wants to expand plans to build attractions for the sci-fi saga in its theme parks, Chief Executive Bob Iger said.

Both Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland now include a huge Star Wars Launch Bay, which is set up like a museum with three huge galleries filled with props of all sizes from all seven movies. “I have four different blue, two different green”, he said. And I was curious about all of these new people. Long gone are the storm troopers of yesteryear who are curiously incapable of shooting the broadside of a barn while standing six feet in front of it. Not only are the villains of “Force Awakens” unsafe, but they’re people. In many ways, The Force Awakens mirrors A New Hope.
The Launch Bay is just part of the Season of the Force.
There are many more similarities that I won’t go into, for the sake of preserving the plot, but it was something I thought about for a while.

For many, this mythology evokes a sense of the religious and sacred. “We feel it’s incredibly important for us as a company and as an industry to keep telling original stories”. (Hint: They love to trade.) There’s a theater with a short behind-the-scenes film featuring Abrams and the creators of the new films discussing the revitalization of the franchise and the journey forward.
