May The Force Be With You

Mark Hamill Pleases Fans By Encouraging Less CGI In Star Wars VII

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:50 pm, May 6th, 2013

Entertainment Weekly’s CapeTown Film Festival was just one of many events celebrating Star Wars this past weekend but the only one that had a surprise appearance from Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill. Take a look at what he had to say about the direction the new trilogy should take.

Carrie Fisher Mentions Getting In Shape For Star Wars VII, We Can’t Tell If She’s Joking

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:22 am, April 30th, 2013

“I like being bought by Disney, because they never wanted to buy me before. I’m glad they are doing a new movie because they are sending a trainer to my house so I can get in really good shape. So I’m really eating a lot of sugar in advance, as you can see. By the time I really get down to it I will have eaten everything.” – Carrie Fisher speaking to and audience at the BMO Centre via the Calgary Herald.

A few months ago, Fisher seemingly spilled the beans about her involvement in the next Star Wars trilogy then her publicist spoke up to tell us she was only joking. But George Lucas went on record to say she’d basically been signed so we were extra confused. Disney CEO Bob Iger at least admitted there were “discussions.”

So how should we take this latest statement. Fisher is quite the comedian and obviously she was joking about being bought by Disney but them sending her a trainer seems logical if she’s expected to be physical in her role as Leia in J.J. Abrams’ film. An official announcement would be nice, Disney.

Fanmade Poster for Star Wars: Episode VII Makes a Movie With the Original Cast Look Pretty Awesome

by Susana Polo | 12:09 pm, March 26th, 2013

Adam Schickling put together this Star Wars VII poster, and as much as I’d like the new trilogy to focus on a new set of characters and feature the old ones as cameos at most, dang if this poster doesn’t make me feel very nostalgic.

Here’s the Official Word on Hamill, Fisher, and Ford Returning to Star Wars From A Disney CEO Himself

by Susana Polo | 4:15 pm, March 13th, 2013

There’s been a lot of back and forth on the involvement of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford in Disney’s planned third Star Wars trilogy. The stars say they’re open, other folks say they’re signed, other folks say there’s nothing official yet (or sometimes Carrie Fisher tells the jerk with a camera who is following her around and grilling her about Star Wars VII while she’s walking her dogs that she’s involved just to get rid of him), and the big voice missing in the conversation is Disney’s. Of course Disney doesn’t have to say anything. Why should they? We’re already talking nonstop about the movie.

But CEO Bob Iger gave some actual official information to CNBC’s Closing Bell yesterday.

Carrie Fisher Was Joking About the Star Wars Sequels, But George Lucas Says She’ll Probably Be In Them Anyway

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:01 am, March 7th, 2013

… as will Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford. According to George Lucas, that is.

(Oh, and can I just take a quick moment to say that we called it on Carrie Fisher joking about her Star Wars confirmation? Because we did.)

Carrie Fisher Said She’ll Be in the Star Wars Sequels, But Let’s Not Freak Out Quite Yet

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:01 am, March 6th, 2013

OK, so, getting the important stuff covered first: Carrie Fisher was asked by the Palm Beach Illustrated whether she’d be in the Star Wars sequels, and she said, and I quote, “Yes.”

But here’s why we should wait before breaking out the cinnamon buns in celebration:

Here’s What Mark Hamill Knows About Those Star Wars Sequel Casting Rumors

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, February 20th, 2013

We’ve been hearing a lot lately about the possibility of some combination of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill showing up in the Star Wars sequels. And we’re taking those rumors with a massive boulder of salt, since there’s been nothing close to an official announcement that any of the Original Trilogy Three will be coming back. There still isn’t. But Mark Hamill said a few things to Entertainment Tonight about the possibility of Luke, Leia, and Han showing up in the sequels that made my ears perk up.

Darnit, Mark. I’m trying to keep a cool head here.

Carrie Fisher on the Possibility of “Old” Princess Leia

by Susana Polo | 2:25 pm, November 14th, 2012

Last week video surfaced of Carrie Fisher being loudly asked questions about Star Wars VII by a guy with a camera while she walked her dogs, and her answers were so very clearly things she was saying so she could be left alone that I didn’t have the heart to post it. This interview on the Talk, however, where she also talks about caring for her aging mother, actress Debbie Reynolds, is much nicer, and Fisher is far more interesting while joking about the possibilities of new Star Wars, than saying whatever it takes to get somebody with a camera out of her face.

Harrison Ford Wants Han Solo To Die. There. We Said It. He’d Still Play Him In Star Wars VII Though.

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:01 am, November 6th, 2012

The next logical step in a huge Disney/LucasFilm purchase announcement is who will direct and who will star in Star Wars VII. Speculation is running wild since last week but a few tidbits are slowly leaking out. For instance, Harrison Ford is apparently up for returning to his iconic role even though he really wanted Han Solo to die. This is what we get for hiring a smuggler.
