Back in 1978, Star Wars got its own holiday special. It was so horrendous that people tried to bury it with E.T.: The Extra Terresterial Atari game. Therefore, you would think they would never attempt another one again.
Well, Disney+ says how much worse can 2020 get. Therefore, they are teaming up with Lego to do a Christmas special with Star Wars’ most loved characters.
Set after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rey leaves her friends to prepare for Life Day as she embarks on a new adventure with BB-8 to gain a deeper knowledge of the Force. At a mysterious Jedi temple, Rey finds herself hurled into a cross-timeline adventure through beloved moments in Star Wars cinematic history, coming into contact with Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and other iconic heroes and villains from all nine Skywalker saga films. But will she make it back in time for the Life Day feast and learn the true meaning of holiday spirit? You’ll have to watch to find out!
The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special will debut on November 17th.
On a positive note, Bea Arthur will not be part of this special. Maybe they can get Brad Garrett to play her part.
Disney+ is remaking Three Men and a Baby, and Zac Efron is going to play one of the men according to The Hollywood Reporter. However, we don’t know which one. Do you think he is a Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, or Steve Guttenberg? I say he is playing Guttenberg’s character.
We might not get fireworks this Fourth of July, but we will have them inside our homes. That is because Bob Iger, Executive Chairman, The Walt Disney Company, and Lin-Manuel Miranda announced on Good Morning America this morning that Hamilton will be coming to Disney+ on July 3rd.
This recording of the Broadway show’s performance was recorded for three days back in June 2016 before some of the original cast members left the musical to pursue other opportunities. It is directed by the man who directed the original production.
Miranda described it as, “just imagine having the best seat in the house.” Now, we have the best seat in that house, in our houses anytime we want! See fireworks!
This movie was originally slated to hit the big screens in October 2021, I am so thankful Disney moved it because it is exactly what we all need now.
Last year, Disney+ announced that they were reviving Lizzie McGuire with Hilary Duff. Then last month, they fired the creator, because they wanted to go in a different direction, and put the show’s production on hold. Yesterday, the actress took to social media, asking that Lizzie move from Disney+ to its sister streaming site Hulu like the Love, Simon sequel will do.
Was incredibly excited to launch “Lizzie” on Da- and my passion remains! However, I feel a huge responsibility to honor the fans’ relationship with LIZZIE who, like me, grew up seeing themselves in her. I’d be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30 year old’s journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating. It’s important to me that just as her experiences as a preteen / teenager navigating life were authentic, her next chapters are equally as real and relatable. It would be o dream if Disney would let us move the show to Hulu, if they were interested, and I could bring this beloved character to life again!”.
To me, it sounds that Lizzie will no longer be happening. At least we are getting Proud Family!
