The Force Awakens’ on new box
Before Star Wars, Jurassic World, which was also released this year, held the record. Seemingly unimportant kid in the desert who turns out to be incredibly important?
‘I wanted to impress upon him how much I wanted this to work, ‘ he told the mag, impressing upon him that being a part of the canon meant a first step into a larger world of games, books and comics.
The Force Awakens wasn’t the only filmed to get pirated: The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight are also among the movies that were pirated this holiday. It is still early in development, so no cast has been announced, although we can expect the bulk of “The Force Awakens” cast to be included in some capacity. “I have lived long enough to see the same eyes in different people”, Kanata said upon seing Rey.
Response was swift with many defending Rey as a character, saying the movie strongly implied that Rey’s background having to fend for herself explained many of her skills. “The Force Awakens” is not a film with its own definitive beginning, middle and end.
Iconic characters Chewbacca (portrayed by Peter Mayhew and Joonas Suotamo) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford) return in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.
The seventh film marks the first “Star Wars” release in a decade and the first to be made without creator George Lucas. First there’s George Lucas’ treatments which LucasFilm chose to abandon- though we basically know from all of Lucas’ hints that they’re more “generational” stories centering on the children of Luke, Leia and Han- but we don’t know any deeper details. Her Force-sensitivity and skill with a lightsaber lead us to believe she may have some Jedi lineage, and it wouldn’t be a far leap to think she could be the offspring of Luke Skywalker. Neither will be directed by The Force Awakens’ J.J. Abrams, however.
T eighth and ninth Star Wars episodes are set for 2017 and 2019, respectively. “Love it and can’t wait for more!“. Screenwriter John Logan, known for writing the films “Any Given Sunday“, “Gladiator” and “The Aviator“, similarly allowed his fandom to get in the way of his job when writing “Star Trek: Nemesis“. Thoughts? Does any of this change the experience of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” at all?
