Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Da7e at Latino Review is weighing in on this week’s Badass Digest rumors, and throwing a few new wrinkles into what they could mean. Some of it ties into McQuarrie, because doesn’t everything!
He’s also very interested in the X-wing/mouse droid from the last Force for Change video, plus Rebels, but nothing we haven’t seen or thought before.
On that note, remember today is the last day to donate to A Force for Change!
With just over a day left to enter A Force for Change, Kathleen Kennedy has upped the ante – the official Star Wars documentary team (!!!) will film the winner’s behind-the-scenes experience… If fans can raise another $100k before the contest closes on Friday.
With a week to go on A Force For Change, J.J. Abrams gives us another look at the set. Well, an X-wing. (Yes, it’s really an X-wing.)
Well, I was hoping for another set video, but this is almost as good. Well, the ending was, anyway.
The final A Force for Change deadline has moved back to July 25. It was originally the 18th.
With a little help from Steve Sansweet and Rancho Obi-Wan, A Force for Change reveals a new mid-campaign bonus.
You may spot a few familiar faces in this video promoting A Force For Change.
Don’t forget about A Force for Change – if you enter by today, you’ll also have a chance to win a trip for two to Celebration Anaheim! Maybe not as great as going to the Episode VII set, but still pretty cool.
We’ve already seen some evidence, but Lucasfilm and Abu Dhabi’s twofour54 announced today that they are indeed currently filming in the UAE. “We were very excited to start the filming of Star Wars: Episode VII in Abu Dhabi,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said in a statement. “It has been an incredible place to commence this journey.” J.J. Abrams “and cast” (we’re not sure who) flew to Abu Dhabi “in early May.” Hundreds of crew are working currently, and “key production staff” have been working with the locals since January.
Fans can also win a chance to be in the film, as part of A Force For Change, a new initiative with UNICEF.
The Hollywood Reporter’s sources say they’re recreating parts of Tatooine there, as one might expect from the clip, which bears a strong resemblance to the Mos Espa market in The Phantom Menace. Variety has a few more details on the financial arrangements.
Now on to important matters: What the hell is that thing on the right?
