Amid the flood of The Force Awakens stuff being found on store shelves, a box was found that had a very specific kind of wording. Could it be movie’s opening crawl? The box images have been removed, but head over to Making Star Wars to read it.
→ Daisy Ridley revealed (via her brand-new Instagram) that she and John Boyega are featured in the September issue of Vogue. (Keep an eye out for the one with the Beyonce cover.)
→ It’s not really news, but it’s cute edition: Oscar Isaac was on Live with Kelly Jane Lynch and Michael the other day, and he talked a little about his family’s themed Star Wars parties. And J.J. Abrams talks to Entertainment Weekly about the first time he saw Star Wars.
→ Stop asking about Darth Plagueis already. It’s just embarrassing at this point.
→ John Boyega’s next step? He’s going to be in an adaption of Dave Eggers’ The Circle with Tom Hanks and Emma Watson.
Wait, did I miss something? I haven’t followed a lot of the rumors, but was there a question if they’d reword “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”?
You know what? Now I’m wondering now if I hallucinated them adding an extra ‘long’ in the prequels, because I’m looking at caps and it’s the same on both trilogies… They’re Blu-ray caps, was it different before?
So I thought I remembered some idle chatter on that, but maybe not.
For what it’s worth, either way I don’t think they’d change it for the sequels.
Weird Al’s “The Saga Begins” has two “long”s and only one “far,” so I’ll blame him. But no, all six have always had the same wording. They might have retyped it or cleaned it up for the Special Editions, but the words haven’t changed.
Weird Al needed the extra to fit the existing song…
I feel like it must have been something rumored back in the dark ages that stuck in my head for whatever reason. And it’s not like I rewatch the prequels all that often.
Also I now have ‘The Saga Begins’ earworming me, thanks for that.
More Weird Al can only ever be a good thing.
