A DJ set from Darth Vader is just one way “Star Wars” fans will celebrate the long-awaited release of the saga’s seventh instalment.

The trail, opening in the Forest of Dean from December 16, is designed for film fans to follow in the footsteps of their favourite characters from films, such as Star Wars, that have been filmed in the Forest of Dean. As Kennedy says, “there is no strict guidelines for what we’re doing”, with the genre or when these movies take place on the Star Wars timeline.
After The Force Awakens drops next week (Dec. 18), it’s all about Rogue One, the A New Hope prequel about how the Rebellion stole the plans to the Death Star.
A couple of Star Wars projects thought to be dead and buried might have life left in them yet, as a recent interview with Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy confirms that the studio is still interested in developing both a Star Wars live-action television series, as well as the fabled game, Star Wars 1313.
This may be due to the different personalities of the filmmakers recruited to helm each and every movie, and the fact that the Star Wars Universe has a very different idea of “standalone” movies than Marvel.
“We will be seeing it twice in one day”, he said. “The standalone films can be a wide variety of genres inside the Star Wars universe”, she said. They can also create unique characters, go on missions, develop skills, build up their gear, and recruit crewmembers for sector battles, all in an effort to create their own version of a Star Wars hero. And to be perfectly honest, we have changed the order of those at the last minute, so that’s not the intention at all.

“There’s so much excitement about it. People want to see what all the hype is about”, she said. In viral terms, this is the same kind of star power as putting, I don’t know, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence in the same movie? Going from want to to actual development is a big step, but at least theres a chance we might see the Star Wars TV show and 1313 come to fruition.
