Just by making the original Star Wars series, George Lucas wound up inventing ILM and Skywalker Sound, industry-leading studios for special effects and music. ILM tends to get the most headlines, so the director decided to even the scales, including the logo for Skywalker Sound in Attack of The Clones . It's clearly visible during Anakin and Obi-wan's Coruscant chase, rotating as one of a dozen other neon signs in the entertainment district. Shameless promotion from the effects team for their audio colleagues, but we'll allow

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 compare game key sellers|https://gamedealhq.com/ (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

The galaxy far, far, away is getting a lot bigger in the coming years, which means plenty of writers, directors and actors each getting a chance to throw in nods to the original films. But even though the Star Wars saga has been pored over for decades, there are still a TON of details, secrets and easter eggs we're willing to bet fans have never cau

Not to flog a dead horse, but this was an issue that many had with the prequels. When The Phantom Menace opened, several of the principal players were all people who had great knowledge of the conflict at hand. Obviously, they're not going to explain situations to each other if they have a firm grasp of what's going on. There wasn't anybody there to receive exposition and stand in for the audience. For some, that made the events difficult to follow since there was not a protagonist in the traditional sense to help new viewers take their first step into a larger world. Abrams seems to have amended that problem by making The Force Awakens Rey's story. She'll be the one newcomers gravitate towards while longtime fans soak in the nostalgia of seeing Han and Chewbacca ag

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens hits theaters on December 18th, 2015, followed by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on December 16th, 2016, Star Wars: Episode VIII on May 26th, 2017, and the Han Solo Star Wars Anthology film on May 25th, 2018. Star Wars: Episode IX is expected to reach theaters in 2019, followed by the third Star Wars Anthology film in 2

Again, keep in mind that none of this means an Obi-Wan spinoff is, for sure, going to become a real thing. Nonetheless, until further notice, it's definitely an idea that shouldn't be dismissed as being too implausible - and it's an idea that's worthy of further discussion,

We can also safely assume that Finn (John Boyega) has some basic knowledge of the prior conflict. He essentially grew up in the First Order, and allegedly learned lightsaber techniques as part of his basic training. Someone in the First Order probably told young stormtroopers and recruits about what happened before. The same can be said for Resistance pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), whose parents were featured in the canon comic Shattered Empire . It seems as if he's been a part of this faction his whole life (or, for at least a majority of it) and grew up around Han, Luke, and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), hearing stories of their adventures in his yo

An Obi-Wan Kenobi film could take on various forms - such as, an adventure where Obi-Wan leads a team of warriors on an important mission (see the old rumor about Zack Snyder making a Seven Samurai-inspired Jedi movie ). That is, it might offer something new and fresh for both hardcore Star Wars buffs and more casual moviegoers al

Understandably, some viewers were confused when the new Force Awakens characters asked Han about the old Galactic Civil War and the existence of the Force. But in a way, that's because these elements have become so ingrained in our popular culture that it's almost inconceivable to come across someone who has never heard the term "Jedi Knight" or knows who Darth Vader is. In the Star Wars universe, knowledge of such things really isn't all that commonplace. It's easy to see how this could all be new, especially to someone living alone in the des

Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm's Star Wars universe is already underway on the small screen with the animated series Star Wars Rebels and this week, certain filmgoers will get their first look at J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens when the teaser premieres in theaters . Now, a rumor has surfaced, regarding what's being planned for the first Star Wars spinoff mo

In Star Wars chronology, A New Hope takes place roughly 19 years after Revenge of the Sith . In Episode IV , Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) tells Luke that the Jedi have been wiped out by the Empire, Han Solo openly mocks the concept of the Force, and Jedi Knights are deemed afterthoughts by Imperial officials. This is all less than two decades following Anakin Skywalker's turn to the dark side. In that time, the Empire had killed most of the Jedi (and destroyed their archives at the Temple), and an entire generation of galactic inhabitants grew up knowing only Imperial reg
