Irrelevant But Awesome

Ok, that’s clearly a hyperbolic, clickbait title, and I apologize for that. Here’s what’s actually going on. It seems that there was one day during filming where George Lucas was on set. This was during Ron Howard’s time, after Miller and Lord had left the project. While it was only supposed to be a short visit, Lucas reportedly stayed for close to five hours, taking in the set and talking with people. In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Kathleen Kennedy said that there was one point where George Lucas suggested, “Why doesn’t Han just do this…” It seems that Ron Howard heard the suggestion from Lucas and thought it was a great idea. He went to his actors and said, “George wants us to do this.”  Now, we don’t know exactly what the suggestion was or how big or small it was. Likely, this will come up again a few weeks after the movie has been released and once we’ve all seen it. Someone will probably mention in a promotional interview that, “such and such moment was George’...

Alright, since we've had a few hours to calm down from the excitement from the  Star Wars panel from last night , I thought it might be a good idea to really go through everything that we've learned about Star Wars and The Force Awakens the past few days. Possible Episode IX Director? We'll start with the  rumor  that broke earlier yesterday that Colin Trevorrow might be picked to helm Episode IX. Trevorrow is fresh off the record-breaking Jurassic World that was released a few weeks ago. A lot of skepticism went around about how Trevorrow would handle his first big budget film and he emphatically silenced those critics and is now one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood at the moment. It's been long announced that Episode VIII would be directed by Rian Johnson (of Looper fame) and was speculated to also be directing IX as well but that would clearly not be the case if this Trevorrow rumor turns out to be true (still no statement from Lucasfilm or Disn...

We were all a bit bummed to hear that no new scenes or trailers would debut for Force Awakens at San Diego Comic Con 2015 this weekend. Some of us thought that announcement might have been a swerve to surprise fans but alas, no new scenes and no new trailer. But that doesn't mean there wasn't something for the fans to see. In a panel that featured Lucasfilm Queen Kathleen Kennedy, director J.J. Abrams, and writer Lawrence Kasdan, they brought out a few surprises like the creature that was shown J.J. Abrams omaze video last year and a few other guests. Cast members Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson (whose character is still a mystery), and Gwendolin Christie all appeared on stage and answered a few questions. Then the big surprises were when the original 3 made an appearance. Of course, I'm talking about Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and even Harrison Ford. But the big meat of the panel came in the form of a behind the scenes video narra...
