Max von Sydow’s character, as noted by /Film in its report, is a prime suspect for the spinoff’s protagonist, given the actor’s age; whoever he’s playing in Force Awakens would be a younger and more active man, around the time of A New Hope (i.e. when the Death Star’s plans were stolen). Alternatively, the Force Awakens rumored storyline indicates that Sydow could be playing an older “Jedi Hunter” – the rumored Force Awakens villains whose ranks, at one point, included Rebels antagonist The Inquisitor – so if his character does show up in Edwards’ spinoff, he may or may not be the protagon
If the report is accurate, the addition of three new key female characters could do a lot to assuage the criticisms that were levied against Star Trek Into Darkness for having an overwhelmingly male cast – a situation not helped by the awkward fanservice-y misfire of having Carol Marcus strip down to her underwear and just sort of stand there while Captain Kirk and the camera gawped at
Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are all locked in as Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Leia Solo, respectively – but recent rumors have suggested that other characters from the franchise’s past could be coming back as well. But the question remains: is revisiting the past a welcome bit of nostalgia, or is it the same kind of misstep that the prequel films m
Accompanying the news of Star Trek 3 ‘s filming start date is a report from Film Divider that claims to offer new information about the new characters that will be introduced in Lin’s film. The plan, Film Divider claims, is to introduce three major new female characters: the captain of a Federation ship, the President of the United Federation of Planets, Https://Movietriviafocus.Com/ and Bones’ ex-wife. The latter could be Jocelyn Treadway, Pamela Branch, or a new character entir
Indeed, Obi-Wan – more so than Boba Fett – is a member of the Star Wars universe whose life story has been pretty thoroughly examined and detailed in previously-released Star Wars projects. It’s for this reason that many dedicated Star Wars fans have already made it clear that they would rather a different person in a galaxy far, far away get to stand in the spotlight instead – by getting to being the star in a future Anthology film, that
The galaxy far, far, away is getting a lot bigger in the coming years, which means plenty of writers, directors and actors each getting a chance to throw in nods to the original films. But even though the Star Wars saga has been pored over for decades, there are still a TON of details, secrets and easter eggs we’re willing to bet fans have never cau
Actor Simon Pegg has been hired to draft a new version of Star Trek 3 ‘s script, but there’s been no news yet about new actors being cast or what the plot might entail, aside from Karl Urban teasing that the concept for the next film is ” phenomenal ” – and Urban is probably a little bia
“Abrams is aware that “we got in trouble on the second Star Trek film with some of the fans,” and admitted. “There were too many nods to The Wrath of Khan. I’ll cop to that.” (Full disclosure: I, the author, was the gentleman who led the now notorious fan panel at the 2013 Las Vegas convention in which we, the aggrieved dweebs of the Trekkie community, declared that Into Darkness was the worst Star Trek film of all time. Very sorry, J.J.) Whether a proposed third Trek film from the Bad Robot crew will serve as a corrective or not remains to be seen, but he acknowledges that the nerds were indeed hea
… On the other hand, we’ve also long heard that Lawrence Kasdan – screenwriter of The Empire Strikes Back and co-writer on The Force Awakens – is the one penning the Boba Fett movie ; meaning, Edwards’ spinoff (as written by Whitta) could well revolve around the operation to steal the original Death Star’s plans, but it might not involve Jango Fett’s “son”/clone (or any bounty hunters for that matt
Just by making the original Star Wars series, George Lucas wound up inventing ILM and Skywalker Sound, industry-leading studios for special effects and music. ILM tends to get the most headlines, so the director decided to even the scales, including the logo for Skywalker Sound in Attack of The Clones . It’s clearly visible during Anakin and Obi-wan’s Coruscant chase, rotating as one of a dozen other neon signs in the entertainment district. Shameless promotion from the effects team for their audio colleagues, but we’ll allow
Look, in my own opinion, I’ve never been a big fan of prequels/sequels that go out of their way to shoehorn every single familiar or fan-favorite character into the new narrative. Prequel appearances by characters like C-3PO and R2D2 (oh-so-conveniently present in the saga of Anakin Skywalker as they were in the saga of Luke Skywalker) still irks me almost as much as Jar-Jar Binks. On the other hand: an appearance by Ghost Palpatine is intriguing, since we’ve never seen Sith ghosts onscreen before – and if we’re going that route, an appearance by trust-old Obi-Wan’s spirit doesn’t seem like all that bad of a cameo to
