If there is something that "Star Wars" movies are not afraid of, it is killing major characters. Would that mean the death of Mark Hamill's beloved Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars: Episode 7"?
Just a few days after confirmation came from the "Star Wars" camp that Tatooine will be, once again, featured in Episode 7, additional reports have confirmed that J.J. Abrams and company have set up shop in Abu Dabi to begin filming!
After months -- actually, years -- of speculation, rumors, and updates, the shooting of "Star Wars Episode 7" is finally upon us, and despite his promises that he will be more "forthcoming" with the news, director JJ Abrams is remaining frustratingly tight-lipped about the much-anticipated project, which is scheduled for release in December 2015.
The "Star Wars" community is a large, and loyal, bunch, and it is through this community that I met Rictor Riolo & Dax Rushlow (pictured), the stars of SpikeTV's show "The $10 Million Bigfoot Bounty." What do they have to do with "Star Wars," you ask?
It's finally here: Star Wars Episode 7, which will either make or break JJ Abrams' role in the "Star Wars" universe, will begin filming in less than 6 weeks. And even though we're literally a stone's throw away from seeing the filming begin, we're still not sure of the cast...and now, "Castle" star Nathan Fillion is in talks to star in the film!
Yet another OG cast member of "Star Wars" has been (possibly) confirmed for the upcoming, and highly anticipated, Episode 7 -- a shaggy, eight-foot Wookie we all know and love!
The bad news: the "Star Wars Episode 7" logo that was supposed to be "official" turned out to be a fan-made creation. The good news: we saw a spoiler-heavy preview of "Episode 7" on last night's episode of "Dancing with the Stars"!
The beauty of Star Wars, some will argue, is the diversity of its cast. However, when you really look at Star Wars, you realize the "diversity" really only lies in the different species of alien that inhabit various planets. And while the argument may be that the point of the series is to show a diversity that isn't racially tinged, the statement still begs itself: why are there only two black guys in the entire galaxy?
In case you were wondering if you can count on Carrie Fisher -- who played Princess Leia in the original "Star Wars" trilogy -- to appear in the new "Star Wars Episode 7," you can rest easy knowing that not only is she confirmed for the much-anticipated sequel in the "Star Wars" saga, but her role is much bigger than originally thought!
It's been confirmed: Adam Driver, the breakout star of the HBO hit Girls, has been cast in a role in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode 7 film... or has he?
Star Wars fans can take comfort in knowing that a life-size Millennium Falcon has been built on the Pineridge Studios lot in London...and the female lead has been confirmed and cast for the much-anticipated Episode 7!
Now that JJ Abrams has started to open up about the development of Star Wars Episode VII, more actors have begun to come forward to talk about their casting talks with the director. The latest actor to confirm his talks for a possible role in the much-anticipated film? Former Disney star turned serious actor Zac Efron, who admits it would be "cool" to get a role.
JJ Abrams' tight lipped approach to "Star Trek: Into Darkness" was legendary, but he's just admitted that he needs to take a very different approach to "Star Wars Episode 7" and open up a little bit about the process, the script, and so forth!
As much as we love our galaxy far, far away, there are more than a few mistakes in the "Star Wars" saga, and they're not all critical errors made by the Emperor. (Whaddup Mon Motha!) Now, with "Episode VII" approaching fast on the horizon, one can only hope that JJ Abrams crosses all his T's and dots all his I's, but eagle-eyed nerds such as myself will definitely be on the lookout for even the most minor mistake.
The rumors have been going on for a while, but now Carrie Fisher has confirmed what many of us in the "Star Wars" fanbase knew to be true: the Original Fab Three -- Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford -- will return to the roles that catapulted them into the pop culture landscape in "Star Wars: Episode VII"!
With the upcoming release of "Star Wars Episode 7" in 2015, the rumors surrounding the casting -- and the characters -- have gone into overdrive. The latest casting rumor? Yoda will appear in "Episode 7" as a Force Ghost.
The latest spate of "Star Wars" merchandise, as was reported yesterday, was 50 Cent's "Star Wars"-inspired SMS Audio headphones. But, of course, this isn't the first time "Star Wars" has been merchandised out (in fact, some reports indicate that George Lucas makes -- or, rather, made -- more money on licensing the "Star Wars" franchise than anything else). With that in mind, then, we decided to take a look at some of the best "Star Wars" products in the galaxy -- and beyond -- that have come out over the past 35 years.
50 Cent has always been a marketing genius, and he continues to demonstrate his business acumen with his latest venture: he's teamed up with George Lucas to create a "Star Wars"-inspired line of SMS Headphones!
