Mark Hamill goes undercover as stormtrooper to promote ‘Star Wars’ charity

While he has confidence in the film, Abrams said it was “horrifying” showing it to Disney execs and that he was “nervous beyond words”. Fans who donate $10 or more will be entered in a chance to attend the film’s premiere in London or Los Angeles, with proceeds benefitting 15 different charities.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last month, Force Awakens director JJ Abrams spoke about BB-8’s origins. Sources say fellow franchise helmers Phil Lord and Chris Miller (who will be directing the Han Solo spinoff) haven’t seen The Force Awakens yet, and neither has Colin Trevorrow, who will be directing Episode IX. And because of that, it makes a lot more sense to cast an unknown for the role, rather than an actor we’re familiar who will be judged as soon as the casting is announced.

Meanwhile, a message on Star Wars forum read: ‘Every Asian poster for the film that I am aware of has decreased the size of Finn’s image and or moved him further back into the background of the images of the posters. He seems to have lost a good 50 pounds, but he doesn’t want compliments: “It implies that I looked so terrible before!” It stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill. “I’m excited to dress up and show up on Friday or the Thursday night midnight screening. You don’t have to do that to sell the movie”.

Players can engage in PVP Conflict on Takodana using two new mercenary units inspired by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which include the Dowutin Hunter and Luggabeast Munitioneer.

Some of the attractions opened earlier this week in the former Magic of Disney Animation location.

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.

But like a good brother, Spielberg is keeping what he knows in the family.
