George Lucas ‘really liked’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Lucasfilm president

Lucas sold the company to Disney, and since owning the rights to the movies, Disney has not released a new movie.

As if that wasn’t already enough for your Saturday Star Wars fix, also below is a brand new character poster featuring Oscar Isaac’s (X-Men: Apocalypse) Poe Dameron, the “Black Leader” of that squad of X-Wings we’ve seen battling The First Order in the trailers.

No trailer or TV spot has shown such a fight taking place, which sent Star Wars fans into a frenzy given that Rey (Daisy Ridley) hasn’t been seen with a lightsaber.

Carrie Fisher continued her Star Wars: The Force Awakens press tour by showing up onGood Morning America Friday to talk about the film, and her dog, Gary, came with her. Kathleen said Lucas “really liked it”. And to do that would never work, so I said ‘I’m going to get divorced.’… All I would do is muck everything up. Surely Disney and Lucasfilm still want his seal of approval on the movie, even if they didn’t want his take on the story after buying Star Wars from him. “So I said, ‘Okay, I will go my way, and I’ll let them go their way'”. “And it’s been inspiring to see Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, J.J. Abrams and the cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens connecting with all of them for the benefit of 15 global charities”. Guests attending Star Wars night are encouraged to dress up their favorite characters from the franchise, but no lightsabers or guns will be permitted inside the arena.
