I guess the Jonas Brothers are Star Wars fans because they created a fun poster to celebrate May the Fourth. They took the Return of the Jedi poster and placed their faces over Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. I wonder who decided to make newly married Joe Jonas’ face should replace Carrie Fisher’s? Not that I am disagreeing with the decision, but I am just curious how that placement came about.
I also love that the three of them are not cool off to pull off Lando. None of them are as suave as Billy Dee Williams.
For over 40 years, people have been waiting for the final Star Wars movie, and that time is in a galaxy near nearby. In 8 months, fans will get to see the last episode and today they got a glimpse of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Since I have not seen a Star Wars movie since Episode II, I have no idea what is going on this trailer. However judging all of the people going crazy on social media about it, there is a lot to be excited about this Christmas. Are you dripping with anticipation?
Before the press wanted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s opinion about world affairs, CBC wanted to know what he thought of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. How awwwdorable was the 11-year-old during that 1983 interview?
And he is right, Jedi was the best of the first or the last 3 Star Wars movies, depending on how you look at it.
Before Terri Nunn took our breath away as the singer of Berlin, she was trying to take our breath away as an actress in Star Wars. While the 14-year-old was no Carrie Fisher in 1975, she was a close second.
Before Carrie Fisher died, she finished filming for Star Wars: The Last Jedi aka Episode XIII, but they were nowhere close to even thinking about filming the last movie in the franchise. Which made us wonder would she would or would she not be in the final film.
Today, we got the answer. Star Wars revealed that Princess Leia Organa will be in the film and it will not be a CGI version of her as there was one in Rogue One. Instead, they will be using previously unreleased footage of her that was shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Good thing they brought back J.J. Abrams to direct because he also directed A Force Awakens and knows how to make it work. In fact, he said, “Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie’s legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII.”
This is doing her legacy proud. She is not the only original (from the first 3 films) in the movie, so are Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, and Billy Dee Williams. Not only that, John Williams will once again score the music for the feature.
Even though I have not seen a Star Wars movie since Episode I, I am actually looking forward to seeing this one next September.
