Remember there was a group of hundreds of fans who camped out on Hollywood Blvd for 6 weeks to be first ones in to see the Star Wars prequels? Well it’s official, they will not be doing it again for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. A source told me that with reserved seating it no longer makes sense. Plus, the force is no longer as strong with him after Episode I, Episode II and Episode III, and I am sure others who lined up with him feel the same way.
I am bummed they won’t be doing it because for some reason it made the franchise seem more special than it already is. What other movie has fans camping out for 6 weeks to see it? Without them being lined up in their tents and on their blankets in front of Mann’s Chinese, it just doesn’t seem the same.
I mean, I am sure, they will be there for the midnight screenings, but it just won’t be the same for me. But then again, don’t tell them I still haven’t seen most of Episode II and all of Episode III.
Anyways even though I am not a fan of the prequels, the trailer for the Episode VII makes me want to see it. I won’t be camping out for it or there at midnight, but I will be there when it comes to my $3 theater or when my source brings it over the Blu-ray for us to watch.
How excited are you for Star Wars: The Force Awakens?
The Star Wars movie franchise is available on Digital HD for the first time today and R2D2 promoted the release on @midnight yesterday. Strange choice (although not really because their audience is the same as Star Wars’), but it works because they put words in his mouth that no one else would ever dare. And yes they went there with a joke about Hans Solo crashing into a golf course. To see if the comedians went even further than that, you can just have to watch.
The only negative, is Chris Hadwick didn’t offer any suggestions. What in beep and boop is that all about?
Just when parents were hoping their children would finally be over Frozen, Disney announced today that they are working on a sequel for the movie. So try not to tell your kids for as long as you can. Which they probably already know because it is spreading like lice at school.
Now kids, don’t tell your parents but they are going to get 2 more Star Wars movie in the next couple of years. Star Wars VIII is coming out on May 26, 2017. If that is not enough for them and they need something to hold them over until then, the franchise gets its first standalone movie Rogue One that is coming out on December 16, 2016. It looks like we will be getting a new Star Wars movie every year like Saw. So now that they get to act like kids over that news.
UPDATE: Kristen Bell is already prepping to play Anna again!

Now that Star Wars is fully Disneyfied, it is getting its own special cruise on the Disney Cruise Line. Actually it is getting 8 cruises early next year. That’s right, Star Wars fans can gather on a boat together and watch Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. Not only that they can also experience: a deck party celebration, meet-and-greets with their favorite Star Wars characters, Star Wars-themed activities for younglings of all ages, out-of-this-world food and beverage offerings, exclusive merchandise and so much more!
While it might not be the X-Wing Fighter, it is pretty darn close. So if the force is with you to take one of the 8 cruises they are offering from January to April then you can find out more information at the Disney Cruise Line webpage. As Yoda would say, “Fun it should be!”
