On October 19, Lucasfilm finally unveiled the third and final trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens to much fanfare, setting the stage for record breaking ticket sales and an increase in the already fervent anticipation. With less than two months to go until the film’s release (at the time of this writing), many moviegoers are optimistic that J.J. Abrams’ film will be a triumphant return to form for the saga, giving viewers another rousing space adventure in the vein of the original tril
We can also safely assume that Finn (John Boyega) has some basic knowledge of the prior conflict. He essentially grew up in the First Order, and allegedly learned lightsaber techniques as part of his basic training. Someone in the First Order probably told young stormtroopers and recruits about what happened before. The same can be said for Resistance pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), whose parents were featured in the canon comic Shattered Empire . It seems as if he’s been a part of this faction his whole life (or, for at least a majority of it) and grew up around Han, Luke, and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), hearing stories of their adventures in his yo
Throughout the classic trilogy, there are only five Force users depicted, and two of them are former Jedi in hiding. Nobody is exactly broadcasting the fact that they’re Force sensitive. A handful of Imperials knew of Darth Vader’s “devotion to that ancient religion ,” but many regular citizens probably saw him just as the Empire’s enforcer and not a Sith Lord. Luke gained a lot of attention for destroying the first Death Star, but only his trusted confidants knew of his abilities. Unlike the Clone Wars, where Jedi Knights actively served the Republic, they had a minor presence at best during the Galactic Civil
Schmoes Know reported last night (at the time of writing this) that Han Solo will appear in the Boba Fett Movie cameos|Https://movietriviafocus.Com/ – now on the lookout for a new director, as former helmsman Josh Trank (the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot) has stepped down. The site’s sources are also claiming that “conversations” are currently underway between Disney/Lucasfilm and Ewan McGregor – who played the younger version of Obi-Wan featured in the Star Wars prequel movie trilogy ( Episodes I-III ) – and that the talks involve an “unknown” project, rather than the aforementioned Boba Fett f
Again, keep in mind that none of this means an Obi-Wan spinoff is, for sure, going to become a real thing. Nonetheless, until further notice, it’s definitely an idea that shouldn’t be dismissed as being too implausible – and it’s an idea that’s worthy of further discussion,
However, in the case of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake, the director included a tongue-in-cheek message for savvy moviegoers who actually took the time to do translation work. Just before reaching Skull Island, SS Venture captain Englehorn intercepts a coded message calling for the arrest of Carl Denham (Jack Black). Yet the audible code does not actually say anything about an arrest and instead reads: ” Show me the monkey! ” – a campy hidden message in honor of the film’s titular ape that will probably make readers think twice the next time they see morse code depicted on scr
According to Fincher, the purpose of the subliminal frames was to show that ” our hero is creating Tyler Durden in his own mind, so at this point he exists only on the periphery of the narrator’s consciousness. ” In addition to the Durden flashes, Fincher also foreshadowed the story’s twist with a subtle label on a pay phone the Narrator uses after his apartment is destroyed – which reads “No Incoming Calls Allowed.” Moments later, Tyler Durden calls the pay ph
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
From the moment Avatar hit theaters, it was clear that James Cameron had filled the movie with tons of political messages. From deforestation, over-aggressive military, to the destruction of Native peoples and the discovery of the New World – you name it. It didn’t take long for people to notice that there was one country in particular that the director was singling out. When the movie’s villain, Col. Quaritch, is explaining the risks of the planet to his new recruits, it’s hard to miss the stripes of the American flag shining behind him – once you see it, it’s not even that sub
