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-

In recent days, Latino-Review has been dropping some big rumors about Episode VII ; first came word that Emperor Palpatine will be returning - if only as the Sith equivalent of a "force ghost" - and now the website claims to have knowledge that Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi could also be coming back as a ghostly gu

It doesn't usually pay to look below the surface of a movie based on grown men getting hit in the face with inflatable balls, but this is one exception. When the team at Average Joe's Gym goes up against the cocky, well-funded, testosterone-fuelled Purple Cobras, it's a battle of David vs Goliath. But viewers might not realize that seeing the "Joes" vs. "Cobra" is one big nod to G.I. Joe and their greatest enemies. With that in mind, audiences should have realized that the Joes would always come out on

Somewhere out there in the universe, a force is growing under a veil of secrecy and shadow - and not just any force, but THE force. We're now two years away from the 2015 release of J.J. Abrams' Star Wars Episode VII and we still know little-to-nothing solid about what Disney has planned for its big re-launch of Star Wars - other than the fact that some familiar faces will be returning to the franch

Between superhero movies, the upcoming revival of the Star Wars franchise and the preponderance of YA science fiction novel adaptations like Divergent and The Maze Runner headed to theaters over the next few years, the sci-fi genre is going to be pretty well served in the immediate future. Not to be left out, the rebooted Star Trek universe is also returning in 2016 with Star Trek 3 , which will be directed by Justin Lin ( Fast & Furious

When Luke's friends are used as bait to draw him to Cloud City, the young Jedi catches just a glimpse of them before the trap is sprung. But when the scene was filmed, the actor who was supposed to wrestle Leia out of the hallway was a no-show. Actor Jeremy Bulloch saved the day, taking off his Boba Fett armor, and throwing on an Imperial uniform. It's a rare look at the man who actually played the part under the Mandalorian's famous helmet, but Bulloch got another cameo in Revenge of the Sith , piloting the Rebel Blockade Runner that would kick off the original tril

A good witch or wizard needs a trusty pet, Game Strategy|Https://Movietriviafocus.Com/ and for Harry Potter, Hedwig the Owl went above and beyond the call of duty. The bird's dedication to the boy wizard made her a hit with fans, and broke their hearts when she sacrificed her life to protect Harry in The Deathly Hallows . A righteous death for the boy she loved should have been expected. In the books, Hedwig takes her name from a medieval witch or wizard. But in the real world, Hedwig is the patron saint of orphaned and abandoned children - making her the perfect guardian for the movie's h

Max von Sydow's character, as noted by /Film in its report, is a prime suspect for the spinoff's protagonist, given the actor's age; whoever he's playing in Force Awakens would be a younger and more active man, around the time of A New Hope (i.e. when the Death Star's plans were stolen). Alternatively, the Force Awakens rumored storyline indicates that Sydow could be playing an older "Jedi Hunter" - the rumored Force Awakens villains whose ranks, at one point, included Rebels antagonist The Inquisitor - so if his character does show up in Edwards' spinoff, he may or may not be the protagon

Aside from pop culture references, the Wachowskis also managed to include one massive hint that most fans probably never noticed. When Neo finally confronts the Architect of the Matrix in the first sequel, he learns that the creator of the system has been following him his entire life (or lives) - and the first movie already offered proof. When Neo is first captured by enemy Agents, a bank of surveillance monitors shows him being interrogated. The exact same monitors the Architect is surrounded by in the next movie. Critics may claim the directors never planned on more than one film to start, but some of the bigger ideas were clearly there right from the st

Every fan of Quentin Tarantino knows that the director likes to connect his films into one universe , with characters living in the same world, or some films existing as movies for those characters to see in a theater. But what about a movie that reveals it's just a movie in its own story? That's what some fans claim about Jackie Brown . When a character walks out of a movie theater to the sound of its credits score, the music is what's expected of Tarantino. But viewers will eventually realize that it's the same music that plays over the movie's own end credits. A shared universe wasn't enough: the director had to hint that Jackie Brown was already playing in theaters while the cast was still living through
