George Lucas shares his thoughts on ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’

Fisher did not elaborate further on the coif, which has not been seen by members of the general public ahead of the movie’s December 17 release date. I’m aware of the value that’s placed on these films by the audience.

Lucas’s original idea for “Star Wars” was a “space opera” and that is exactly what we got.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last month, Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams spoke about BB-8’s origins. “That moment will lead to another moment and hopefully after all those moments, we would have a movie”, he said.

Once he was back in a galaxy far, far away, Ford’s reprisal was stopped short on the second day of production past year when a door on the Millennium Falcon set outside London fell on him.

The Chinese promotional poster for Star Wars: The Force Awakens is being criticised for sidelineing a black actor. The remarks have been edited for clarity and brevity. He wasn’t surprised by Disney’s Death Star-sized plan to revive the franchise after acquiring Lucasfilm in 2012 for more than $4 billion.

“I remember calling J.J… and he said something which makes so much sense: that you can’t solve all the things you can’t control”.

With the next Star Wars movie soon, it’s easy to be drawn into the hype.

In another behind the scenes featurette called “Legacy”, a almost two-minute long clip released over the weekend shows the sheer scale of one of the Millennium Falcon ships on the set, a fact which is not lost on Boyega as he sets his sights on it for the first time. There wasn’t much. (Lawrence) Kasden was back.

If you’re outraged by the court’s burka decision, let the world know!

“It’s incredible what George Lucas was able to do”, said Abrams. So these are brand new characters that we’re meeting, but I wanted it to look and feel the way the original trilogy did – which is to say, when I saw those two droids in the desert of Tatooine, that was real. “It’s also the appeal of the story and characters and I feel very, very blessed to be in this position”. And if people have access to a theater that has laser projection, it is shockingly better. If after all that you’re still not excited, then you must have the stone heart of a Gundark and maybe you need to repeat the whole thing.
