VIDEO Meet Daisy Ridley’s Rey from Star Wars

For more on Lucasfilms’ beloved movie franchise, head over to our comprehensive hub for all things Star Wars. “That was sort of the guiding principal more than the canon or anything that came before”. For example, the Millennium Falcon itself, the cockpit changed dramatically from the first to the second movie. There wasn’t much. (Lawrence) Kasden was back.

Mr Marsh said: “We tend to do more indie cinema but we do pick them [blockbusters] when we think they are a film our audience will be interested as well”.

A more reserved statement than “I really liked it” perhaps, but an unsurprising one considering Lucas’ recent comments where he equated letting go of his franchise to going through a divorce.

Evidence of that halo effect, Foster noted, can already been seen in the intense behind-the-scenes jockeying among studios to have their trailers play in front of “The Force Awakens”. “I begged J.J. (Abrams)”.

“I said, ‘The ace in the hole is, Harrison’s not gonna do this”. And if people have access to a theatre that has laser projection, it is shockingly better. It’s nearly as if you have to adjust to it.

“It seemed like such a fun thing to do I was happy to volunteer to work the extra time as this is such a big occasion for all Star Wars fans – myself included”. It’s got that kind of a pulse and that kind of an engine.

The screening will take place at lunchtime on December 17 in Killarney Cineplex, and will be the first screening of the movie in the area.

Despite embodying the intergalactic scoundrel in three films, the “Indiana Jones” star didn’t feel the need to provide “Force Awakens” filmmakers with much insight into Solo, who is back alongside shaggy sidekick Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew).

Aside from fan anticipation, the movie faces lofty box office projections for the opening weekend, from $170 million to $220 million in just the U.S. and Canada, a level never achieved in December.

Gwendoline Christie, who made a name for herself in “Game of Thrones”, personifies Captain Phasma, one of the film’s villains.

She added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I did drugs because they alter you in a way you can’t alter yourself if you’re not comfortable in your own skin”. “We’ll have to wait and see”, Ridley said.

“We have just received some huge banners, so they will be going up soon”, Mr Marsh said.

AP: Are you at peace with your decision to directly only one?

Carrie said she wanted to be there in person to honour Lucas, “but since you invented video voicemail, I didn’t have to”. You don’t want to necessarily have to top something that worked.
