The studio was gun-shy of getting into CG animation after the perceived failure of Tron and Universal's The Last Starfighter.

Aaron Sorkin should begin writing the screenplay already.

Given the voice over during those shots in the trailer I thought it was obvious...

'My Father Has It' - shot of Vaders melted mask
'I Have It' - shot of cloaked Luke with R2
'My Sister Has It' - shot of lightsaber being handed to a woman

The author of DisneyWar is James B. Stewart

Sorry, John Taylor wrote Storming the Magic Kingdom, which details the end of the Miller era and the hiring of Eisner, James Stewart wrote DisneyWar, the history of Eisner's term at Disney and the beginning of Iger's. Clearly not at my best at two a.m.

I have DisneyWar (very interesting book) and have heard of, but never read Storming the Magic Kingdom.

Back when I was in college, they used to teach it in the business classes. It's very, very heavy in the machinations of the stock market and how Roy and Stanley Gold and the board took steps to fight off a hostile takeover. It's a good primer on the end of the Ron Miller years, just get ready for lots of intense discussions of the 80's U.S. stock market.

I believe the hand that takes it looks young... not wrinkly and veiny like Leia's would be... And you don't know that Rey isn't a Jedi yet... do you have special access to the script?

Its Leia. Look at the clothing on her and compare it to the shot of Leia in the SDCC behind the scenes footage.

Leia

Blu Warrior · 10-01-2015, 05:14 AM

See her grey sleeves that are rolled up into cuffs? Its Leia that receives the lightsaber.

Blu Warrior · 10-01-2015, 05:15 AM

CinemaBlu beat me to it, lol!

It's Leia. And Rey is not a Jedi yet.

Hoping to repeat the 'tickeline' we had for Episode III again this year

On the rear entrance to the theatre there is this great glass roofed area which would shield us from much of potential weather challenges.

frogmort · 10-01-2015, 06:57 AM

What the hell is a 'tickeline'?

Sounds like fun.

Forever Knight · 10-01-2015, 12:43 PM

I wouldn't mind seeing on of those boomerang Lightsabers like the Inquisitor has in Star Wars: Rebels

Hardkore · 10-01-2015, 03:14 PM

It’s official - original ‘Star Wars’ actor Tim Rose will return as Admiral Ackbar in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’... it isn’t a trap.

I saw on my FB feed that Hayden might make an unwelcome return to the series (no offense if you're a fan), was this ever confirmed or was it just another product of the rumor mill?
