On The Eve of Rebels, Lucasfilm Gives The Clone Wars Fans A Last Glimpse At Unseen Material
During an appearance on Graham Norton’s BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday, September 20, Sir Roger Moore revealed that, while visiting Pinewood Studios earlier that week, he stopped by the Episode VII set.
New photos of Episode VII’s Greenham Common set have emerged, offering a closer look at the Falcon (including its new rectangular satellite dish), the black X-wing (with orange wings), and the white-and-blue X-wing (next to which is a large mechanical object).
According to Jedi News, Scott Derrickson, who is directing Doctor Strange for Marvel, may be under consideration for a Star Wars project. We don’t know anything more at this time.
J.J. Abrams will receive the Visual Effects Society’s Visionary Award at the society’s 13th annual VES Awards ceremony on February 4.
Jedi News reports that Disney and Lucasfilm have registered two more production code names for Star Wars projects: Lunak Heavy Industries and Space Bear Industries.
A new mobile game called Star Wars: Galactic Defense is coming soon.
