Let's face it, the upcoming Star
Wars movies will have a ton of rumors, speculations, and "scoops", which
will drive the most sane of you crazy, but that's where the fun (for some) lies.
With that in mind, the guys over at the Latino Review ran a piece on the new
Star Wars franchise, focusing of course on Episode VII.
The piece they ran debunks some
of this week's rumors, specially about Episode VII being delayed because of Harrison
Ford's broken leg, but they also roundup the new ones.
First things first. Will Star
Wars: Episode VII be delayed?
The movie will NOT be delayed because of Harrison Ford’s
injuries. (I can actually second source this thanks to Star Wars 7 News) This
information is from this week, it’s not old, it’s not speculation.
Kathleen Kennedy and JJ Abrams want a May 4th, 2016
release date.
Bob Iger is not giving it to them.
Now for the rumors roundup, from
Badass Digest, AICN, and MSW.
BAD:
I had heard that Solo is the star of this Star Wars
and that the old smuggler would be taking the new kids on a journey across the
galaxy to find an old friend who had gone missing.
AICN:
And this is a huge problem because Han Solo is pretty
much the main character of EPISODE VII, leading a galaxy-wide search party for
Luke Skywalker.
It also lead to the
rumor that Oscar Isaacs part was being expanded to shoulder some of the weight,
but...Disney said that wasn’t true and I believe them at this point.
Making Star Wars:
We have heard that Thomas starts the film on the side of the villains.
Thomas is shot down over Tatooine and he is injured from the crash. The things
we heard from Abu Dhabi about a crashed ship is rumored to have been Thomas’
fighter. Rachel rescues him from the wreckage and the elements of the sandy
planet. Over the course of their “unlikely pairing,” Thomas sees the
reality of the universe and he defects from the side of the villains and
decides to help Rachel for saving his life. However, things are not easy for
the character because unlike most of the rebels we’ve met in the series, none
were traitors, they were always on the side of right from the beginning.
However, it appears Rachel and Thomas have an innocent flirtation in their
first film with hints at romance in the future episodes.
I often hear Thomas is a Jedi in the film, but I am beginning to think
he might start that journey midway through Star Wars: Episode VII, which is why
he has a lightsaber according to many reports. We have never heard Thomas has a
lightsaber during the Abu Dhabi sequences, but we have heard set reports from
Pinewood that he fights with two hands on his saber, without much of the
prequel style flash of a one handed Obi-Wan Kenobi. It makes me wonder if
Thomas and Rachel’s characters discover they share the same propensity for the
Force that has so far been untapped until they meet a certain old Jedi in the
second act of the film.
Opening on December 18th,
2015, Star Wars: Episode VII stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher,
Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, Lupita Nyong'o, John Boyega, Daisy
Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Gwendoline Christie, Domhnall
Gleeson, and Max von Sydow.
