The Makers Of ‘Jurassic World’ Congratulated ‘Star Wars’ For Besting Them At

With the final opening weekend numbers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens now in. Considering Disney has two more installments locked in for 2017 and 2019 – plus spin-off movies on the off years – Disney could be looking at a very solid return on that initial $4 billion.

A Disney action figure set for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been criticised by fans for not including any female characters.

Director J.J. Abrams, along with writers Lawrence Kasdan and Michael Arndt, revealed during a Q&A session after a screening why they chose to kill Han Solo, Entertainment Weekly reveals.

After the screening ended, he reportedly stood up and told the shocked audience at the Sydney Opera House, “Let’s make a deal – don’t tell your friends what you’ve seen here today”.

What we also appreciate is that The Force Awakens manages to offer a flawless balance of introducing new likable young heroes while still giving prominent roles to the major players of the original series.

John Boyega and the rest of the “Star Wars” cast and crew have been making public appearances for the past few weeks already since the first trailer came out on different social media sites.

“I went back home [to New York], and I thought about it…”

Those same contractors were then killed in the line of fire after the Rebels blew the Death Star up at the end of the movie. The man is a national treasure, and this is the last time he gets to play in this sandbox, unless they bring him back for a flashback cameo (which is possible). Add to that some bad guys who act like Nazis, some really cool technology, some new species characters to love (Maz Kanata voiced by Lupita Nyong’o is my new favorite), and a few veteran actors. Ford, wearing time and history like a cloak, earned our respect and loyalty decades ago. Well right now its worldwide total-mere days after release, mind you-is good enough for the 101 position on the all-time worldwide chart, just above Mamma Mia! and just below The Passion of the Christ.
