For some reason Disney decided to debut the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens during Monday Night Football. Meaning a lot of people watched men throw the pig skin for the first time in their lives. Well, I guess they liked what they saw because Conan revealed video of them playing the game.
I bet you more fans of Star Wars took up Football than Football fans bought Star Wars tickets yesterday.
The first full trailer is out for Star Wars: The Force Awakes and someone is missing. First Luke Skywalker was no where to be seen in the newest poster for the anticipated film and now his face is missing from the trailer. Which makes you wonder what’s going on?
Now, when it comes to the trailer, it doesn’t make me excited for the movie. I still have no idea what it’s about, and where’s Luke.
But then again, I was never a Star Wars girl.
As we all know Disney bought the rights to Star Wars and now they are Disneyfying the franchise. Pistol Shrimps took the merger to a whole new level by mashing up Star Wars with Disneytales and it is horrifying how well it works. So maybe the two will live happily ever after or maybe the Evil Queens and Darth Vader will finally win one. I am kind of rooting for the latter because it’s about time someone took down that Olaf guy. In a way he is Disney’s Jar Jar Binks!
Jar Jar Binks is the most hated character in Star Wars history, but that could’ve been a different story if George Lucas would’ve cast Michael Jackson in the part as the late singer wanted. Ahmed Best, who got the part, told Vice he was not the original choice for the role.
When Best was asked about it, he said, “That’s what George told me. Me, Natalie Portman, and George’s kids—we were at Wembley arena at Michael Jackson’s concert. We were taken backstage and we met Michael. There was Michael and Lisa Marie [Presley]. George introduced me as “Jar Jar” and I was like, That’s kind of weird. Michael was like, ‘Oh. OK.’ I thought, What is going on?” Then hes added, “After Michael had driven off, we all go back up to a big afterparty. I’m having a drink with George and I said, ‘Why did you introduce me as Jar Jar?’ He said, ‘Well, Michael wanted to do the part but he wanted to do it in prosthetics and makeup like ‘Thriller.” George wanted to do it in CGI. My guess is ultimately Michael Jackson would have been bigger than the movie, and I don’t think he wanted that.””
I wish Lucas would’ve gone with Jackson because then I wouldn’t be the only person I know who actually like Jar Jar Binks. Would you have liked him a little bit more if Jackson played him?

If when Star Wars Episode VIII comes out and Chewbacca has a really big role in it, you will know why. Why? Because Jimmy Kimmel challenged the movie’s director J.J. Abrams and the Wookie to the Twizzler Challenge for Autism and they accepted. When it was time to Lady and Tramp the licorice stick, Abrams really got into it. So much so that Chewie left a little bit of himself in his boss’ mouth.
Wonder if that is the first time that happened to him? After we see how big Chewbacca’s part, I mean role, is in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, then we will know the answer.
