You don’t have to be a princess just to star in a Disney adventure, only willing to don a disguise to protect your family – and belt out a few musical numbers too. Mulan learned that for herself when she pretended to be a man to join China’s forces against the invading Huns in Disney’s retelling of the classic story. Its message must have struck a chord with the cast of Lilo and Stitch, since a poster of Mulan hangs on Lilo’s sister Nani’s wall, and the family even passes a restaurant called “Mulan Wok” when first adopting the trouble-making al
Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens hits theaters on December 18th, 2015, followed by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on December 16th, 2016, Star Wars: Episode VIII on May 26th, game crafting Guide|Https://Movietriviafocus.com/ 2017, and the Han Solo Star Wars Anthology film on May 25th, 2018. Star Wars: Episode IX is expected to reach theaters in 2019, followed by the third Star Wars Anthology film in 2
Now, while all this should be taken with a grain of salt… it doesn’t sound too far-fetched. Lucas film’s VP of Development has indicated that the Star Wars spinoffs will encompass multiple genres , and a Star Wars heist movie would do just that. It’s also been rumored that Edwards’ film is a Boba Fett movie ; the Fett character could well be part of a Suicide Squad -style team of bounty hunters responsible for stealing the Death Star plans, seeing as his origins have already been explored onscreen (in Episode I
Though Obi-Wan’s ghost already played a role in the original trilogy (embodied by the late, great Sir Alec Guinness), as L-R correctly points out, Hayden Christensen was CGI-surgically implemented into George Lucas’ redux of Return of the Jedi in replacement of original Human-Vader actor, Sebastian Shaw. In that sense, McGregor’s slot in franchise is pretty secure, should the filmmakers choose to go in that direction. After all, for a younger generation of fans, McGregor IS Obi-
Did you know that Cloverfield contains a King Kong cameo? Matt Reeves’ found footage monster movie is well known for its shaky, stuttering handheld camcorder, and in between cuts and flickers the director inserted single frames from classic monster movies like King Kong , The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Them! Whether they were put there to disturb the audience without them realising it, or just as an homage to the kind of movies that inspired Cloverfield , these flashes are a fun subliminal secret that can only be seen if you slow the scenes d
Anakin’s turn to the Dark Side may have been a long time coming, but he didn’t waste time becoming evil, slaying the Jedi younglings on his first mission as Darth Vader. But one young Jedi ends up standing out, taking on a handful of clone troopers in front of Bail Organa before falling to blaster fire. George Lucas wasn’t happy just giving himself and his daughter a cameo – the young boy is his son, Jett. The character’s name is Zett Jukassa, and he’s no random hero, either: he actually first appeared in Episode 2 when Obi-wan was searching for the planet the killer clones were grown
George Lucas may have dreamed up one incredible space opera all by himself, but it was Ralph McQuarrie’s concept paintings which made the director’s vision a reality, and convinced Fox that it was worth investing in. McQuarrie’s role wasn’t lost on Lucas either: when it came time to film The Empire Strikes Back , he made sure to give the painter a cameo, strutting through Hoth’s Echo Base – with his sketchpad in hand, obviou
That’s what’s getting lost in the shuffle. Abrams is showing a single character asking Han about all the rumors she has heard. And given the backgrounds of the new characters, having Rey be the one unsure of it all makes the most sense. Much like Luke at the start of the original film, she’s not a player in a widespread war. How she gets drawn into it remains to be seen, but the footage clearly indicates she comes from humble beginnings. Abrams isn’t making it as if none of the fresh faces are aware about what happened three decades ago, just one. And both in-universe and for the movie itself, it’s an extremely logical decision that should benefit The Force Awakens as a wh
There are still far too many unknown variables to say with any certainty that this rumored storyline for Edwards’ Star Wars spinoff is or is not accurate, though. We still don’t know who the majority of the Force Awakens cast are playing in this film universe (the Star Wars OT cast members aside) and even if one of the spinoffs does indeed revolve around a mission to steal the Death Star plans, there’s no guarantee it’ll be the first one released in theat
It seems Disney animators never miss a chance to fill crowd scenes with iconic characters from other movies and cartoons. When King Triton assembles the underwater masses in the opening scene of The Little Mermaid , eagle-eyed viewers can spot Donald Duck, Goofy, and Mickey Mouse in the crowd. And it isn’t just Disney mascots who get in on the fun, either: Kermit the Frog can be seen just a few rows behind t
