There are at least six Twitter accounts dedicated to “Star Wars spoilers”, though not all of them may actually be posting every last detail – and none of them now has more than 110 followers.
According to a post on Reddit, Disney sent an email to theaters warning them against doing an advance employee screening for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
It’s a big week of movie premieres on Hollywood Boulevard.
You don’t need to be a Jedi to sense the final figure will be much bigger thanks to Star Wars.
With an entire generation of fans having grown to love Ford as Solo, it will undoubtedly be hard for many of them to see any other actor present their own version of the character.
The film, the seventh in the series, has reunited original stars including Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. When further he was pressed, he said that the movie will be “better than the prequel”.
“It was a lot of fun”, Oswalt said.
Disney screened “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” simultaneously at three Hollywood theaters, with the cast watching the film at the Dolby Theatre.
The hugely-anticipated movie is expected to smash box office records across the galaxy and will bring to a close a bumper 2015 for movies.
On Dec. 5, which was 12 days prior the film release, fans from the group called “The Line Awakens” reportedly set up their camp beside the historic Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, according to CNN.
The anthology film also won’t be the first in the Star Wars universe, as it will be preceded by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is set for release in December 2016. A half-mile section of Hollywood Boulevard has been closed to traffic and a giant opaque tent now lines four blocks of the famous thoroughfare.
While most stars opted for chic red carpet attire, Joseph Gordon-Levitt showed up dressed as Jedi master Yoda and comedian Rainn Wilson dressed as a Jedi.
“We have all been holding our breath ever since we heard the movie was going to production”, said Lawrence Green, a Los Angeles government attorney and avid fan who is a member of the 501st Legion, a “Star Wars” costuming club where he dresses as Skywalker. Londoner Daisy said the reality of her part in the massive franchise had just about hit her.
