Jack Reynor tipped for Star Wars spin-off
While this practice is not new, apparently the dual cover of R2-D2 and BB-8 is the first time the magazine has offered two covers for editions worldwide, “a decision that reflects the global impact of the new Star Wars movie”. “Interest in “Star Wars” is at a fever pitch with the upcoming release of “The Force Awakens”, but that is just the opening salvo of the plans Disney has for the franchise”.
The duo team up with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo and his giant wookie pal Chewbacca, to face a new threat in the form of evil Sith lord, Kylo Ren. Playing Han Solo in 1977’s “Star Wars” transformed Harrison Ford from a journeyman TV actor (in the pre-Golden Age era, mind you) to an worldwide superstar. “And although that is still very much the case, I was really hoping this could be a movie that mothers could take their daughters to as well”.
So, the Force will be strong, both at the box office and wherever your officially licensed “Star Wars” products are sold, which, these days, is everywhere.
This new instalment will also be able to count on emerging markets like China. Because the complete name of her character, Rey has not yet been made public, “Star Wars” fans were left speculating about Rey’s life.
“The Force Awakens” hitting theaters in December, you better get caught up on every spoiler so you don’t miss any of the Easter eggs. “She elevated all the scenes she is in, I’m forever grateful, and can’t wait for people to see her stunning performance”. In 2015, fans are impatient once again and they will be rewarded by something that the second trilogy was unable to do: bring back the original main characters.
Expect to see more merchandise for the new Star Wars movie targeted for women and girls, but there will also be male-oriented merchandise, as well as gender-neutral merchandise for sale, especially after the movie is released on December 18.
