Spoiler-free “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” tidbits and links

The Empire Strikes Back is often considered the best of the original trilogy, but we have it a little lower due to the fact that some of the excitement had left the films by the time it was released.

Sophie followed suit, pairing a turtleneck top with a high-waisted black and white skirt which fell well below her knees. I’ve lost track on how many times I’ve seen these movies over the years, between the original theater screenings, the theater re-release of the Special Edition, along with well-worn VHS tapes, DVD and Blu-ray versions.

The $100 million total is also more than twice the pre-sales of Avengers: Age of Ultron, 33 percent more than Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and 20 percent more than last summer’s Jurassic World.

Die-hard fans taking part in the marathon are given 10 minutes between each film to fill up on popcorn, take bathroom breaks, get fresh air or adjust their “Star Wars” costumes.

Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the European premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in London’s Leicester Square this evening (16.12.15), he said: “There are so many interwoven stories that deal with the mystery of growing up. If this had happened in the US, they would have set the theatre on fire”.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens comes out this weekend, but can you watch it at home?

The actress confirmed that she’d signed up for one more Stars Wars film – the as yet untitled Episode VIII, which is due out in 2017.

Is there anything about flying the Millennium Falcon that is like flying a plane?

Early reviews are already out, so I’ve stopped scrolling Twitter. She plays Rey, a scavenger on a desolate desert planet who, much like Finn, is looking for objective. I started flying as soon as I could get in my helicopter and I had a cast on my right leg but my toes were hanging out so I could put my toes over the anti-torque pedals and fly.

“Everyone’s just like; ‘Enjoy it, life’s ok.’ It’s all good”. “But yeah, I like Stars Wars, I’m not a geek or anything, but I look forward to seeing the next one”. Even actors from the movie, making the late-night talk show rounds promoting the film (as if it needs any promotion), have made it very clear to their hosts what they’re allowed to say – which isn’t much.

“There’s this whole kind of tribalism”. Kandiko even compared the all-day marathon to seeing the Beatles, “If you had the chance to see the Beatles live you’d wait in line for hours”.

“We’re adults, we can like what we like”.
