The Force Awakens Almost Included Another Classic Star Wars Character
There’s no question on whether or not the seventh film in the Star Wars franchise will surpass Jurassic World in box office numbers, but the real question is when, and how quickly?

The Force Awakens is breaking one box office record after another.
Director JJ Abram’s “Star Wars – The Force Awakens”, which is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, will end the year on a big note. Force Awakens doesn’t open there until January 9.
$529 million – The global box office opening of the film, which beat the previous record of $525 million held by “Jurassic World”.
Fans of the iconic sci-fi franchise have quickly spotted that some scenes in trailers and TV adverts for Star Wars: The Force Awakens were not actually in the blockbuster, which was released to huge acclaim on Thursday.
As well as the mantle of Star Wars champ, Braden will receive a seven-year movie pass to Alamo Drafthouse cinemas, a variety of Star Wars merchandise and a cinema seat named in his honour, complete with a naming ceremony.
The movie also had impressive attendance at the Eltrym Theatre in Baker City, owner Teresa Zimmer-McQuisten said.

“Sell-outs provide too many opportunities for people to be uncomfortable or unhappy”, she said. The Kylo Ren figure, sold separately of course, is easily the best of the lot, with his menacing mask, hilted lightsaber, and flaps of the soft plastic to represent his tattered robes.
While there is no chance that Star Wars will see a decrease like that of Avatar (1.8 percent), it is highly likely that its decrease will be much smaller than that of the dinosaur sequel. The base set told an original story set against the familiar backdrop of the prequel trilogy’s “Clone Wars”, while the “Rise Against the Empire” set played fast and loose with the story of “A New Hope”.
“I was pretty offended by that so I blew it off for the rest of the summer”, Miles said.
