It has almost been three years since Carrie Fisher passed away. She died before they started filming the last Star Wars movie Rise of the Skywalker. However, J.J. Abrams was able to include her in the film.
While she is in the feature, she is not able to do press for it. Or is she? Yesterday, when the director was talking about her part in it, something very spooky happened. As Abrams said, “the lighting,” some of the stage lights went out. Freaking him out, so he said hi to her to let the late actress know he felt her presence. Especially, because he told the audience, “That is so Carrie, BTW, to do that.”
Do you think her force is with them? I say yes because she was such a huge spirit, why shouldn’t she be a spirit…
We are less than four months away until the final episode of Star Wars comes out and now we are seeing some video from Star Wars: The Rise of the Skywalker. Over the weekend, Disney released a special look at the film during a panel at D23.
Fans of the franchise say that they can predict what might be happening, but they will not know for sure until December 20th. At that point, all the answers will be answered. Unless you cannot get the day off of work to see it. Then you will have to wait until the 21st. Or if you are Jewish, then on the 25th.
I wonder if this movie will beat out Avengers: End Game in box office titles. I doubt it, so it will be interesting to see how it does as compared to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I still have not seen that movie.
Before the force was strong with Mark Hamill, he desperately needed it on The Bill Cosby Show. Thankfully, he learned how to fight better on screen than he did when he was 19 in that 1970 episode. It was his first acting job, so we can forgive him.
If someone told you that a seal could sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, you would be that is cool. However, Zola can sing that nursery rhyme and the Star Wars theme. Now that is so out of this world that it is in a galaxy far far away.
According to CBS News, Zola and two other seals, Janice and Gandalf, were taught how to mimic sounds. While Zola is the singer, the other two can mimic vowels. Dr. Amanda Stansbury and Professor Vincent Janik of the Scottish Oceans Institute at the University of St Andrews in Scotland taught them how to speak in hopes that it could “help shed light on speech disorders.”
Pretty impressive. I cannot wait to have a conversation with a seal. Hopefully, that will happen in our lifetime. If it does, then what do you say to them? Polly, want a cracker, is already taken. They will probably be like stop giving us balls to balance on our nose. Then they would tell us that they are so much better than us as they take over the world. Maybe it is not a good thing that we are teaching seals to use their voices?
