Poor Star Wars Fan Gets The Prank Of His Life

Shawn Loeffler — Wed, 16 Dec 2015 02:54:27 +0000

OK, so this winds up being a promo for something else, but in the end this is just an amazingly well-organized prank set up by the folks over at Rooster Teeth (they make web series). What some staff members did to their co-worker, Blaine Gibson, is absolutely cruel, but simultaneously hilarious. You can tell he had an acidic taste in his mouth when he realized what was happening, but he was a sport about it… as best as he could be.

As we all wait with bated breath for the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens this December 18th, enjoy yourself in Blaine’s misery.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens BTS Featurette + Poster

Shawn Loeffler — Tue, 08 Dec 2015 00:17:22 +0000

Over the weekend, at the Comic Con Experience in Brazil, a new Star Wars: The Force Awakens poster and short behind-the-scenes featurette were revealed. The poster, below, is quite stunning and holds many of the elements that made past posters so iconic.

As for the featurette, it features a life-size Millennium Falcon… oh, and some of the movie’s stars talk a little bit, saying such things as, “Oh, I’m so lucky. I’ve been a fan my whole life and now I’m a part of the family.” Yeah, yeah, we get it; you’re in Star Wars and we’re not.

You probably already know this, but just in case you’re a dumb ass, Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters on December 18, 2015.

Does The New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Suck?

Shawn Loeffler — Thu, 22 Oct 2015 01:40:50 +0000

Well, we’re late to the party, but we thought we’d post the new trailer (a new two-and-a-half-minute trailer!) for Star Wars: The Force Awakens anyway. It paints a pretty bleak picture of what’s in store for us, but it still looks pretty darn amazing, even if, just like the poster released on the same day, one particular character has been kept absent. Why?!? Are we being led to believe that Luke Skywalker might have strayed to the dark side? Even if we all think we know better, it might be a rad twist to make the iconic hero the villain.

But does all this make the trailer suck?

Because, as cool as it might seem, wouldn’t it just suck if Luke were to become the evil he fought so hard to defeat? Wouldn’t it suck to kick things off with a dark “second act” like The Empire Strikes Back? Especially if that might mean that Han and Leia get killed off right away?

Before you jump all over me, I’ll admit that I haven’t been keeping up with who’s who and what’s what because I want to experience it all with “my own eyes,” when it’s fresh.

Check Out Hot Toys’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens Kylo Ren & First Order Stormtroopers

Shawn Loeffler — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 18:55:04 +0000

Today, Hot Toys has offered a first look at a few of its new collectibles for the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. All we can really say is that the 1/6-scale figures are out-of-this-world stunning and the level of detail looks to be… impressive. Obviously, Kylo Ren is a highlight with his self-constructed broadsaber, but you attention might be quickly conquered by the First Order Stromtroopers, which come in two white-hot versions, the regular one and the Heavy Gunner. Check them out in the gallery above.

Let us know what you think and if you’ll be picking these up in the near future? I can tell you, this is something I want!

11 Hot New Images From Star Wars: The Force Awakens

King Hazard — Wed, 12 Aug 2015 20:00:11 +0000

Everyone expects to see fresh footage from Star Wars: The Force Awakens in a new trailer reveal this weekend at Disney’s D23 fan convention, but that isn’t happening folks. Director J.J. Abrams already told Entertainment Weekly the truth, “we are showing no footage, behind the scenes or otherwise.” So don’t hold your breath for this highly-anticipated trailer, I’d expect to see it go online later this fall instead as get closer to the release date of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is set for December 18, 2015.

However, in the meantime, you can do yourself a huge favor right now and indulge yourself in a new batch of images from the film, courtesy of EW. If you look through the gallery above, you will come across Adam Driver as the lead antagonist Kylo Ren (assuming), Domhnall Gleeson as fellow bad guy General Hux and Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma.

In addition, we also get a new look at heroes Daisy Ridley as Rey, Oscar Isaac as Poe and John Boyega as Finn, plus shots of Abrams and co-writer Lawrence Kasdan on the set of Star Wars. There’s a lot more, so go ahead and take a quick peek.

Along with the new images are new details you will want to read concerning Driver’s Kylo Ren:

We came to learn that he was allied with The First Order, a remnant of the Empire that remains a fearsome threat to the galaxy and its denizens. Above, he is seen flanked by their stormtroopers, striding with intense purpose through the smoldering ruins of a once peaceful village on Jakku.

What does he want? That much remains unclear, although he seems to be a Vader obsessive, with an appearance influenced by that dark lord of the Sith who met his demise long before Ren’s birth. “The movie explains the origins of the mask and where it’s from, but the design was meant to be a nod to the Vader mask,” Abrams tells EW. “[Ren] is well aware of what’s come before, and that’s very much a part of the story of the film.”

As for his weapon of choice, Abrams can confirm what many suspected: it’s a tool he crafted all by his lonesome. “The lightsaber is something that he built himself, and is as dangerous and as fierce and as ragged as the character,” Abrams says.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens – New Character Names Revealed

King Hazard — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 01:49:29 +0000

Are you still having a hard time getting over the first teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens? We know you are because we’re having the same problem. Director J. J. Abrams is clearly doing a fantastic job with Episode 7 and we just can’t get over it. Worst of all, he teased key characters in the trailer, and I’m sure many of you are wondering who they are.

Fortunately, Entertainment Weekly got their hands on some new exclusive collectible cards that reveal the names of those characters. Old Star Wars fans will also quickly become familiar with the cards because they look similar to the 1977 Topps trading cards for George Lucas’ Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Take a quick look below at each card for the official character names.

King Hazard — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 02:35:47 +0000

It’s pretty nuts to hear that two years after George Lucas sold his bread and butter to Walt Disney, we’re finally getting a first official glimpse at the next chapter of his epic space opera.
