More Star Wars, fireworks on way — Disney's Hollywood Studios

By Dec 07, 2015

Lucas spoke out recently that Disney pretty much rejected all of these ideas for Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens and all of its sequels. Those movies will have the "" saga as their basis, but everything else will be different.

"To me, Star Wars Launch Bay is all about finding your inner fan, finding that little corner of the Star Wars galaxy that you love", said Brent Strong, creative director of Walt Disney World's Imagineering team. Some of the emails uncovered in last year's Sony hack, for instance, contained discussions which acknowledged that films with black lead actors don't seem to do as well in certain foreign markets. And plenty of lesser-known film and TV stars are vying for the coveted role, too. That makes sense, since the 23-year-old British actress focused on musical theater when she was in school. When asked what his favourite action scene from the new film was, Ford typed this...

SpaceX's Elon Musk goes ballistic over Jeff Bezos' rocket feat
The rocket reentered the Earth's atmosphere, landing upright and intact back at the remote launch site near Van Horn, Texas. It slowed its descent by firing its engine, starting at about 4,900 feet above ground.

Recognizable names who have thrown their hat in the ring include Dave Franco, Miles Teller, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Nick Robinson ("Jurassic World"), Tom Felton, Ed Westwick, Logan Lerman, and Ansel Elgort - "among many, many others", the trade writes. Fisher is happy with the legacy Leia, with or without a lightsaber, had on female protagonists that followed afterward, from Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in the "Alien" movies to Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss.

We can only hope that, in the future, studios respond to racial prejudice as firmly and gracefully as Boyega himself did when faced with backlash over his casting in The Force Awakens. If you don't feel like fighting the crowds or would rather see the film after the busy holidays are over, it is nearly guaranteed that some of the plot is going to be spoiled for you.
