Keeping that in mind - do you like this proposed Star Wars spinoff movie storyline? Does it sound like a fitting compliment to the upcoming "Episodes", which should play out as more traditional Star Wars film narrati
... On the other hand, we've also long heard that Lawrence Kasdan - screenwriter of The Empire Strikes Back and co-writer on The Force Awakens - is the one penning the Boba Fett movie ; meaning, Edwards' spinoff (as written by Whitta) could well revolve around the operation to steal the original Death Star's plans, but it might not involve Jango Fett's "son"/clone (or any bounty hunters for that matt
As one of the most successful movies Disney has ever released, we're willing to bet that Easter Eggs and references to Frozen are just beginning. The minds behind Big Hero 6 are clearly fans - and hold a serious grudge against Hans, the would-be king who tried to kill both of Frozen 's leading ladies. A statue of Hans can be seen for just a moment before Baymax completely destroys it. If that weren't enough, his face can be seen gracing a Wanted poster in a San Fransokyo police stat
You don't have to be a princess just to star in a Disney adventure, only willing to don a disguise to protect your family - and belt out a few musical numbers too. Mulan learned that for herself when she pretended to be a man to join China's forces against the invading Huns in Disney's retelling of the classic story. Its message must have struck a chord with the cast of Lilo and Stitch, since a poster of Mulan hangs on Lilo's sister Nani's wall, and the family even passes a restaurant called "Mulan Wok" when first adopting the trouble-making al
As a footnote to their report, L-R added that McGregor is apparently pushing for his own standalone film (Disney has since announced its intent to produce standalone Star Wars movies in between "episodes" ). Not only do we think that would be a project with potential - we've already pitched a pretty good story idea for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie . So, needless to say, we're not opposed to that happening, eit
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
As shocking as this may be to read: not everyone who will see The Force Awakens is overtly familiar with the Star Wars mythos. Whether they're adults who never caught on, or children whose first real exposure to the franchise will be Episode VII , they'll need someone in the movie to act as their guide and ask the questions they're wondering about. Abrams would be unwise to just assume that everyone watching knows the story up to this point. This is very similar to how Luke was portrayed in the original film, as he - like everyone watching - had no idea what The Force was or how expansive the galactic war really was. He was that fish out of water character that was a conduit for the audience and allowed them to understand what was happening throughout the f
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 hidden Details|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
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
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
Now, while all this should be taken with a grain of salt... it doesn't sound too far-fetched. Lucas film's VP of Development has indicated that the Star Wars spinoffs will encompass multiple genres , and a Star Wars heist movie would do just that. It's also been rumored that Edwards' film is a Boba Fett movie ; the Fett character could well be part of a Suicide Squad -style team of bounty hunters responsible for stealing the Death Star plans, seeing as his origins have already been explored onscreen (in Episode I
