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,
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
Schmoes Know reported last night (at the time of writing this) that Han Solo will appear in the Boba Fett movie – 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
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 at least know when production is set to begin on Star Trek 3 . On Location Vacations reports that the film’s start date is April 15th, 2015, and that things will kick off at Vancouver Film Studios. Previously there have been claims that part of the shoot will take place in Seoul, South Korea, and that may still be true for some of the on-location work. When it comes to studio space, however, it looks like Vancouver won the raf
Backstory: Typically in movies license plates are designed to blend into the scenery without a second thought. However, in the Matrix trilogy, many of the vehicle plates are shorthand references to religious scriptures. At the beginning of Reloaded , Agent Smith’s license plate reads “IS5416,” which corresponds to Isaiah 54:16: ” Behold, I have created the smith, who blows the fire of coals, and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy. ” Similarly, during the highway chase sequence, Trinity’s Cadillac plate reads “DA203,” which corresponds to Daniel 2:03: ” He said to them, ‘I have had a dream that troubles me and I want to know what it means
Star Wars: Rogue One will be a war story about how the Rebel Alliance stole the first Death Star’s plans, while a Boba Fett movie would (presumably) examine the crime underworld of the Star Wars universe – meaning, an Obi-Wan spinoff could stand well apart from the other planned or rumored Anthology films (and help to insure that each one feels unique and explores different genr
Disney/Lucasfilm’s plan is to release a Star Wars spinoff during the years in between “Episodes”, for (at least) the film trilogy that begins with Force Awakens in 2015. The first of these spinoffs – some (if not all) of which are expected to be origin stories for certain characters – is being scripted by Gary Whitta ( The Book of Eli , After Earth ) and directed by Gareth Edwards ( Godzilla (2014) ), for a theatrical release in 20
Not to flog a dead horse, but this was an issue that many had with the prequels. When The Phantom Menace opened, several of the principal players were all people who had great knowledge of the conflict at hand. Obviously, they’re not going to explain situations to each other if they have a firm grasp of what’s going on. There wasn’t anybody there to receive exposition and stand in for the audience. For some, that made the events difficult to follow since there was not a protagonist in the traditional sense to help new viewers take their first step into a larger world. Abrams seems to have amended that problem by making The Force Awakens Rey’s story. She’ll be the one newcomers gravitate towards while longtime fans soak in the nostalgia of seeing Han and Chewbacca ag
A young Han Solo movie is also rumored to be one of the developing Star Wars spinoffs, possibly the one that Chronicle director Josh Trank is working on; if so, that would help to explain why Han isn’t going to appear in Edwards’ spinoff, should this rumor pan out. It’s canon that Han won the Falcon from Lando Calrissian in a game secrets|https://movietriviafocus.com/ (see their conversation in The Empire Strikes Back ) – so if we do see the ship in its days before Han owned it, that could mean an appearance by a young Lando is in order (either buying the Falcon or already being its own
