The Star Wars Underground have just posted a new image of the Force Awakens stormtrooper armour from the Celebration Anaheim program, and it’s glorious: View this post on Instagram The #SWCA Program! #TFA A post shared by The Star Wars Underworld (@theswu) on Apr 15, 2015 at 3:46pm PDT This is it, folks. The deluge…
At this point it’s all but confirmed that Puzzlewood is indeed a location for Episode VII. But who (or what) will appear there? The Daily Mail, that bastion of journalistic integrity, has just updated with a bunch of photos from the location. There’s nothing revealing, except for this: Are those, perhaps, the boots of a…
A couple of days ago, Kevin Smith visited the set of Episode VII, and he was suitably blown away. You can hear on Smith’s Hollywood Babble-On (NSFW) podcast the sequence of events that led him to the set of Episode VII at around the 1:18 mark, including a particularly amusing email exchange with J.J. Abrams: The best information…
Jason at Making Star Wars has just posted some really great details regarding John Boyega’s character in Episode VII. As he says, this is all informed speculation, but it does fit with what we know. Firstly, Boyega and Daisy Ridley are playing “Thomas” and “Rachel” respectively, the two characters involved in the open auditions back…
This morning all sorts of plot details regarding Episode VII are floating around. Remember, however, that nothing I post here will go beyond the (supposed) premise of the film… Firstly, Jeremy (a.k.a. Mr. Beaks) over at Ain’t It Cool News claims that “Han Solo is pretty much the main character of EPISODE VII, leading a…
What happened after the Ewoks sang “Yub Nub” and Luke burnt the body of the Darth Vader? Well, the Emperor was dead, the second Death Star was destroyed and many of the most significant capital ships in the Empire (e.g. the Devastator and the Super Star Destroyer Executor) went along with it. But, notably, Coruscant…
Anyone in the Star Wars fansite game has heard repeatedly about stormtroopers making an appearance in Episode VII. There were, of course, reports of Chewbacca fighting “old skool” stormtroopers in a second unit Iceland shoot, but I’ve also heard of stormtroopers appearing in other settings, including the massive Imperial-style hangar set (and yes, it is…
Here’s another clip extending footage shown in the Rebels trailer, this time showing Kanan, Zeb and Ezra fighting Kallus and a group of stormtroopers aboard the Ghost in zero gravity:
From Daisy Ridley News (via Making Star Wars) comes this tweet: Apparently the extra was Polish, so can we assume they meant stormtroopers? Keep in mind the following: an earlier report of explosions being set up, with the same report making mention of a market, later confirmed in the Force for Change video there have…
OK, the headline above is deliberate sensationalism—I don’t actually believe it. Well, not yet, anyway. But Bleeding Cool have presented third-hand information on the second-unit shoot in Iceland for Episode VII. Apparently it involves Chewbacca and “old skool” stormtroopers. The conjecture is that Iceland is doubling for Hoth. While that’s possible, as Jason over at Making…
