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 Fun Game Facts|Https://Movietriviafocus.Com/ a younger generation of fans, McGregor IS Obi-
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
“Abrams is aware that “we got in trouble on the second Star Trek film with some of the fans,” and admitted. “There were too many nods to The Wrath of Khan. I’ll cop to that.” (Full disclosure: I, the author, was the gentleman who led the now notorious fan panel at the 2013 Las Vegas convention in which we, the aggrieved dweebs of the Trekkie community, declared that Into Darkness was the worst Star Trek film of all time. Very sorry, J.J.) Whether a proposed third Trek film from the Bad Robot crew will serve as a corrective or not remains to be seen, but he acknowledges that the nerds were indeed hea
Additionally, Stephen Colbert also asked Abrams about his penchant for lens flares. It’s no secret that Abrams is notorious about including (sometimes unnecessarily) a number of big, bright, and distracting lens flares in all of his movies. It’s actually a popular Internet meme anytime Abrams announces a new project. The director is well aware of the number of lens flares he used in the past, but affirms that he reduced the filmmaking flourish for The Force Awakens . From Jordan Hoff
Most of the hidden easter eggs inside Disney movies only manage to reference one movie at a time, but one shot in Tangled features nods to three other princess films. When Rapunzel and Flynn Rider are poring over an atlas while at the festival of lights in Corona, books referencing other films can be seen. One open book displays the story from the opening sequence of Sleeping Beauty , and two others are the storybooks containing the tales of Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid . It’s unclear if Rapunzel has read the fairytales of her fellow Disney princesses, but it’s a nicely hidden references to their fi

In 1986, Steve Jobs purchased the Computer Graphics Division from George Lucas’s Lucasfilm and established the independent company we now know to be Pixar. In honor of the man who also founded Apple, Pixar has included references to the tech company or Jobs himself in a number of films. Most notably, the titular robotic hero of Wall-E makes the recognizable Mac startup chime when he’s done charging, and Apple products like computers and iPods are shown throughout Toy Story 3 . Finally, after passing away in 2011, the end credits of Brave featured a dedication to Jobs in memory of his contribution to Pixar. That last one may not necessarily be hidden, but it’s worth mention
Over the weekend, J.J. Abrams and Stephen Colbert were featured in a two-hour “celebrity nerd-off” during the Montclair Film Festival at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, New Jersey. While Colbert asked Abrams about the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens , the late night talk show host also touched upon Star Trek Into Darkness . According to Jordan Hoffman from Rolling Stone , Abrams admitted that Star Trek Into Darkness had a number of problems, namely that there were too many homages and references to The Wrath of Khan . Hoffman wri
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
The 2013 Disney film, Frozen , catapulted to massive popularity with help from the catchy and inspirational “Let It Go.” The film also features a handful of references to previous Disney and Pixar movies, like Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled attending Elsa’s coronation. Some even argue Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen from The Princess and the Frog also attend the event. However, you have to look more closely in other scenes to catch Frozen’s nods to Monster’s Inc. and the Mouse House. At Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna a wooden figurine of Mike Wazowski is sitting on the counter, while a Micky Mouse doll is hidden on a shelf. However, Anna decides to buy winterwear instead of these references to other Disney and Pixar characters, which we’re sure was the best cho
