Look, in my own opinion, I've never been a big fan of prequels/sequels that go out of their way to shoehorn every single familiar or fan-favorite character into the new narrative. Prequel appearances by characters like C-3PO and R2D2 (oh-so-conveniently present in the saga of Anakin Skywalker as they were in the saga of Luke Skywalker) still irks me almost as much as Jar-Jar Binks. On the other hand: an appearance by Ghost Palpatine is intriguing, since we've never seen Sith ghosts onscreen before - and if we're going that route, an appearance by trust-old Obi-Wan's spirit doesn't seem like all that bad of a cameo to

As a footnote to their report, L-R added that McGregor is apparently pushing for his own standalone film (Disney has since announced its intent to produce standalone Star Wars movies in between "episodes" ). Not only do we think that would be a project with potential - we've already pitched a pretty good story idea for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie . So, needless to say, we're not opposed to that happening, eit

The juxtaposition is especially creepy - since the pictures are from a happy Hawaiian-themed party that took place before the unfortunate events leading to the floundering of Icarus I. Searle encounters the full group photo (from which each flash is taken) later on in the film. Boyle has not discussed the hidden frames officially but the flashes definitely work as a subliminal way of setting audience members on edge - without outright revealing the fate of the Icarus I c

Somewhere out there in the universe, a force is growing under a veil of secrecy and shadow - and not just any force, but THE force. We're now two years away from the 2015 release of J.J. Abrams' Star Wars Episode VII and we still know little-to-nothing solid about what Disney has planned for its big re-launch of Star Wars - other than the fact that some familiar faces will be returning to the franch

The story of two stoners in search of burgers made John Cho and Kal Penn overnight stars, but Cho previously turned heads in the movie Better Luck Tomorrow , director Justin Lin’s acclaimed story of over-achieving Asian American teens. Lin has confirmed the movie is a prequel story for Fast & Furious hero Han, but the same can’t be said for Cho’s character. Someone on the set of Harold & Kumar was clearly a fan, and found a clever way of working the title into the script (coming from the mouth of an "extreme" je

Actor Simon Pegg has been hired to draft a new version of Star Trek 3 's script, but there's been no news yet about new actors being cast or what the plot might entail, Cheap game keys|Https://gamedealhq.Com/ aside from Karl Urban teasing that the concept for the next film is " phenomenal " - and Urban is probably a little bia

Backstory: Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) reveals that while working as a film projectionist, he would intentionally splice images of male genitalia into the reels - which were nearly imperceptible to moviegoers. For the Fight Club movie, director David Fincher utilized a similar approach but, in addition to one standalone penis picture, he also included four brief flashes of Durden in scenes (prior to the character's official introducti

On October 19, Lucasfilm finally unveiled the third and final trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens to much fanfare, setting the stage for record breaking ticket sales and an increase in the already fervent anticipation. With less than two months to go until the film's release (at the time of this writing), many moviegoers are optimistic that J.J. Abrams' film will be a triumphant return to form for the saga, giving viewers another rousing space adventure in the vein of the original tril

That's what's getting lost in the shuffle. Abrams is showing a single character asking Han about all the rumors she has heard. And given the backgrounds of the new characters, having Rey be the one unsure of it all makes the most sense. Much like Luke at the start of the original film, she's not a player in a widespread war. How she gets drawn into it remains to be seen, but the footage clearly indicates she comes from humble beginnings. Abrams isn't making it as if none of the fresh faces are aware about what happened three decades ago, just one. And both in-universe and for the movie itself, it's an extremely logical decision that should benefit The Force Awakens as a wh

He looks a bit more imposing in these images than he did in the film, where he had a vaguely elf-like appearance about him. Perhaps that was because we only saw the right side of his very pink face and none of his gargantuan alien body. It's also worth pointing out that he looks almost identical to his comic book counterpart, give or take a few deta

In Star Wars chronology, A New Hope takes place roughly 19 years after Revenge of the Sith . In Episode IV , Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) tells Luke that the Jedi have been wiped out by the Empire, Han Solo openly mocks the concept of the Force, and Jedi Knights are deemed afterthoughts by Imperial officials. This is all less than two decades following Anakin Skywalker's turn to the dark side. In that time, the Empire had killed most of the Jedi (and destroyed their archives at the Temple), and an entire generation of galactic inhabitants grew up knowing only Imperial reg
