Leia and Han solo ended the original trilogy with the notion of love. These two survived many adventures together. The smuggler and the princess. Many would assume that the they continue on that road living happily ever after. Not so much.
What Happened Between Them?
At some point Leia and Han are divided. Time passes quickly and the galaxy has changed. Leia commands republic troops as a General. Han and Chewbacca set of on adventures that separate the star crossed lovers. We do not yet know what happened between Han and Leia. J.J. Abrams dose not seem to be creating the movie as an exact copy of the original books. (Like Most Movies!)
In the latest star wars trailer we can see a small clip of these two reunite with a sentiment of the same emotion we remember from long ago.
It is likely that Han and Leia's love story will continue to manifest throughout episode 7, 8 & 9. For me, this is an exciting story that has captured my imagination. Creating a blog and website about my favorite childhood story is enough to make me a little giddy.
Star Wars returns this Christmas with a whole new generation awaiting the excitement. More episodes to come and even anthology videos in the making. The old cast returns to the set to film the rest of the story.
Star Wars "The Next Generation"
December 18, 2015: the epic continues with episode 7 The Force Awakens. Obviously we can expect at least two more films to follow and form another trilogy. I am a life long Star Wars fan. The beginning of a new trilogy is exciting news. Wicket was my teddy bear. I had all the star wars action figures and a toy millennium falcon to put them in. Now, i get to share the fun with a whole new generation. But is this the end? No, Disney has announced that anthology films will follow.
Anthology Films Following This Trilogy
Anthology films for Star Wars? Yes, Disney has purchased the Star Wars franchise and is going to milk this cow for every penny it's worth. So after episode 7, 8 & 9 expect more high quality films to follow. One rumor going around is about an anthology film where Han Solo and Chewbacca free chewie's home world from slavery. It's just a rumor but evidence is strong to support such a film.
New Toys and Video Games
We can expect to see the cast from Episodes 1, 2 & 3 to appear in these films. The star wars galaxy is about to collide with the marketing and production values of Disney entertainment. New video games are on the horizon that will be fun for both parents and children. The millennium falcon and x-wing drones are not just kids toys. The Lego lineup is so amazing this time around. All new robots. New machines. New characters and old characters combine to tell a new story.
The Original Cast Returns
We can expect to see Luke Skywalker return to the story as a jedi in hiding. He is so powerful with the force that he hides himself from the politics. Fearing his power might be used for evil he lives in exile. Princess Leia Organa commands the republic forces and Defends the galaxy from the First Order army. Han and Chewbacca continue to be renegade forces that serve the good side of the force. Other familiar faces are expected to appear as well and don't be supprised when you see wicket hobbling along with his spear.
It't time to get excited. I am ready to buy my Imax ticket. I'm gonna show up to the theater in some kind of crazy outfit. Maybe ill be dressed as Lando in Return of The Jedi. How about a Jar-Jar outfit. Who knows, maybe ill "wear the dress" and cross dress in a princess Leia costume. Not likely, lol. But i'm gonna make a night of it.
This is always a favorite Lego kit. The classic Millennium Falcon construction kit. This will keep the kids busy for hours. Even your college kid will like this one. The world of Star Wars brought to life with the building blocks of the Lego world.
What's in the box?
Includes 6 minifigures: Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Ben Kenobi, Princess Leia Organa and Darth Vader with assorted weapons.
Features opening hull, detailed interior, twin flick missiles, rotating laser cannons, detachable cockpit cover, chairs, cup, control panels and game board.
Eaisly the hottest Star Wars Toy this Christmas. This little guy can be remote controlled and is small enough to fly in your living room. The kids will love it. Grown kids will love it. Old dudes like me love it.
How Cool is That!
I use it to pass the remote to my girlfriend. She thought it was funny the first time. LOL. Anyway, this little guy is the perfect way to celebrate the season. Any star wars fan will be smiles over this gift. Try to contain the excitement. You can't! Have your camera ready when they open this amazing gift.
Easy to Use
Charge it with a USB cable and control it with a fancy star wars remote. Hours of fun for the whole family. Your kids may need to practice sharing. LOL. Lead the assult on the death star from your own living room.
My favorite actors return to the studio in order to bring our favorite Star Wars characters back to life. But how about the Millennium Falcon? Well I am happy to tell you that in Star Wars Episode 7 "The Force Awakens", you will once again see the Millennium Falcon take flight. This iconic space vessel will of course be accompanied by the classic pilots Han Solo and Chewbacca.
The Millennium Falcon Returns to Han
Somewhere along the way Han Solo looses the legendary space voyager. It could be in a card game? That would add some comic irony to the story line. Maybe it was stolen. At this point it's unknown. What we do know comes straight from the official trailer. A short clip with Han and Chewbacca standing together on the ship. Both looking around with nostalgia in their eyes Han says, "Chewie... were home".
What do we know about the Falcon
Keep in mind that at this point in time details about episode 7 are highly secretive. Actors are cloaked while moving around the set. The scripts are distributed in small portions. The whole production process is run like a military operation with every area compartmentalized. Actors will find them in huge law suits if they say anything. We are piecing the movie together like Einstein's riddle. We have a few clues here and there that put parts of the story in their place.
How about the Toys?
When I was a child I had a huge Millennium Falcon toy. One day my mother snuck my toy falcon into the garage sale stuff. I was heart broken. I was in the third grade. I put every toy I ever owned into that thing. It was huge. I guess my mom did not like it. lol.
Quite possibly the most well know character in Star Wars Series. It's easy to see why. 7 foot tall harry beast with the loudest mouth in the room. This character is brave and speaks volumes. With out a word. Some people talk and talk with out saying anything. Other say very little and convey much more.
Is Chewie Gonna Be Comic Relief?
For all those roomers floating around about the new look for Chewie, give it a rest. Chewbacca has already been relieved to the public. Same original actor. Same outfit. Well, maybe the outfit is a little pollished. The galaxy has had some technological improvements in mens hair treatment. LOL.
Chewbacca in the Same Old Suite
Chewbacca will not be CGI. He will not wear a Disney princess pink bow. Infact, even though this is now a Disney production, this flick is supposed to be action packed and filled with brutal star wars battle. So expect Chewbacca to be a big soft fluffy warrior that just might tear your arms off. Disney is making the new series with one foot in the digital film era and the other in the old world.
BB-8 is the new adorable little droid that will take center stage in Episode 7 and more. This crafty little guy is has a lot of personality. He is going to become an iconic star wars character. People everywhere will recognize this amazing machine.
From what I understand about this droid. It's real. Not in the sense that I am confirming roomers about the new star wars "The Force Awakens". What I mean is that this little droid is a robot that exists in the real world. Minus the artificial intelligence.
Speedy
This fast little guy teams up with the light side of the force. If this technology dose not capture your heart than your hopes are to high. This is not a CGI robot. This little guy can actually move in the real world just like on the set.
What can I say. Looks like he is still running around with Luke and needs a bath. R2 will always be a part of the Star Wars galaxy. So what has changed. R2 seems a little tarnished. Knowing Luke is a good droid mechanic I'm sure he is well maintained under the hood.
R2-d2 Is Favored by Luke
This image shows Luke Skywalkers Robot hand on R2d2's head. I believe that R2D2 and Luke have spent some quality time together and have a strong bond like family. Man and machine.
Or is Luke surprised to see his old machine still chucking along. Remember when Luke repaired this old robot after buying him from a scrap robot selling band of Jawa's.
The Rumors and the Facts
Right now we know very little. Soon the movie will tell all. For now all we can do is wait. But Disney has been releasing little nuggets of information.
Imagine finding your windows 95 with a Pentium 2, quarter gig of ram and a PCI video card still working. Exciting right?

Obviously Leia is aged, Being a mother of two Jedi old enough to buy you a drink. But the force has many secrets. Leia is apparently one of them. Leia was an icon of beauty at the time of the original star wars. We can expect a lot of class and charm in The Force Awakens. This photo is supposed to be leaked. However, I expected to see some kind of teaser. Claiming the photo is leaked just makes it more exciting.
What has Leia been doing all these years?
Well, looks like she is part of the rebel alliance after all. Coming from a long line of freedom fighters and dressed in rebel attire in this photo.
Carry Fishers Daughter Plays In Episode 7
Carry Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd will have a role in the Force Awakens. However she will not be princess Leia's progeny. She will have an unrelated role. We have yet to hear anything about this character at this time.
Princes Leia Organa's Role in Episode 7
Leia's Children?
At this point we do not have everything figured out. We do know she has off spring. Likely a child of Han and Leia will appear somewhere in the trilogy. Some rumors suggest that Poe is her son. Others think its Rey. We have two more episodes with plenty of time for surprise characters to appear.
At this point you just can not make a star wars film with out the two classic droids. C3p0 and R2d2. These two loyal and brave droids will be with us until the end. Well, brave might not be the best description for C3p0. But he always seems to come through in the end.
What Dose He do in Episode 7?
Not much is know about the role of c3p0. He will no doubt be the same seeing as how he is a robot and dose not age. However, in some teaser photos it appears he has a red left arm. Why? I do not know.
C3p0 Steam Punked!
What could possibly be the reason for a red arm. Is C3p0 a Junk Yard Robot now? It has been a long time sense his days of serving luke skywalker? Or is he still with Luke and this was some funny jedi prank that we do not understand? Cuz were not jedi. Did someone salvage this cheesy old robot and polish him up with a red arm? Dose the red arm signify some kind of rank amoung droids? What ever. He can speek over 6000 different languages and everyone in the galaxy needs a protocol droid. Don't look a gift Robot in the mouth.
We did not see any Ewoks in episode 1, 2 & 3. But we will see more of them in Episode 7. Wicket returns to the big screen but as of yet we do not know much. This lovable little guy shows bravery by fighting the empire along side the rebel forces.
Remember the Ewoks?
The Ewoks are small little warrior people. Or harry monkeys? Mini Warewolfs? Idk. After seeing them in battle you may want to keep a lid on it. They fight with bravery and demonstrate the fact that having superior technology dose not win battles. these trick little buggers will close line you right off your speeder. Or swing tree trunks at you from the top of a hill. Don't call them short. You would not like them when there angry.
Are Ewoks in Episode 7 "The Force Awakens"?
It's no rumor. Wickit is Back Warwick Davis is already happy to tell the world about his invitation to appear in the new star wars movie.
Oh, put on the suit. Wicket was my teddy bear as a child not this guy. LOL. Just kidding Warwick. Love your character. Now I'm embarrassed. Thanks Mr. Davis.
