Indeed, Obi-Wan – more so than Boba Fett – is a member of the Star Wars universe whose life story has been pretty thoroughly examined and detailed in previously-released Star Wars projects. It’s for this reason that many dedicated Star Wars fans have already made it clear that they would rather a different person in a galaxy far, far away get to stand in the spotlight instead – by getting to being the star in a future Anthology film, that
Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in U.S. theaters on December 18th, 2015. Star Wars: Rogue One arrives a year later on December 16th, 2016, followed by Star Wars: Episode VIII (official subtitle TBA) on May 26th, 2017. The second Star Wars Anthology film (Boba Fett Movie Facts|Https://Movietriviafocus.Com/?) doesn’t have an official release date
Did you know that Cloverfield contains a King Kong cameo? Matt Reeves’ found footage monster movie is well known for its shaky, stuttering handheld camcorder, and in between cuts and flickers the director inserted single frames from classic monster movies like King Kong , The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Them! Whether they were put there to disturb the audience without them realising it, or just as an homage to the kind of movies that inspired Cloverfield , these flashes are a fun subliminal secret that can only be seen if you slow the scenes d
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 (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
Director John Hughes had a knack for churning out classic movies in the 1980s, and with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off , decided to remind audiences of that very fact (in as subtle a way as possible). The license plate of Cameron’s father’s Ferrari reading NRVOUS – “nervous” – fits his character, but it’s the rest of the cars that deliver the nods to the director’s previous work. The plate on Ferris’ mother’s car – VCTN – refers to Vacation , his dad’s plate – MMOM – refers to Mr. Mom , and the principal’s plate was clearly made just for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – 4F
Mind you, neither of those stories (or the latest “update) claimed a Star Wars Anthology film about Obi-Wan Kenobi is a done deal – just that it’s an idea that IS, in fact, being explored by Lucasfilm. Obi-Wan is also bit like Boba Fett, in that he’s a popular character who played a key role in the first two Star Wars live-action movie trilogies, as well as the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series (which is still part of the Star Wars franchise’s official canon) and various other Star Wars media (novels, comic books, video games, etc.). That lends more credibility to the rumor him getting his own spin
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
James Cameron’s 3D blockbuster smash may have taken audiences to an alien world, but it begins at home, in a futuristic Earth. Actually, Avatar begins in a dream sequence, with the movie’s hero Jake Sully explaining that his sleep has become filled with visions of flying ever since he was wounded in combat, opening his eyes every morning to find he’s still confined to a wheelchair. His adventure on the planet Pandora piloting an artificially-grown human/Na-vi hybrid allows him to do more than fly, successfully defending the planet from his own side’s forces. The final shots of the movie mirror the beginning directly, showing Jake once again opening his eyes – this time, to a new body, a new people, and a new purpose. To take things further, the end credits are run over the exact same shots of flying as Jake’s first dr
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
