Two sequels followed, but when Neo finally ended the war in his epic battle with Agent Smith, their fight is set at that exact intersection . When the two slam into the street, you can even catch a glimpse of the phonebooth from the first f
The very subtitle of Episode VII suggests that the Force has been dormant for some time, and though there are still Force users out there, they’re not as prominent as they once were. Luke may or may not have started a new Jedi Order, but even if he did, the odds that scavengers on Jakku know about it are slim. As for Rey inquiring about the stories about what happened (meaning Episodes IV-VI )? Think of it as a young basketball fan asking an older basketball fan if the things he’s heard about Michael Jordan are true. Nobody’s doubting the Rebels beat the Empire, they just want to know how factual the fantastical tales they heard
It’s good and quite funny to see J.J. Abrams admit he has a problem when it comes to lens flares. It’s also refreshing to see that he has a sense of humor about it too. But fans will react negatively to The Force Awakens if there are a lot of lens flares throughout its running time. In fact, if you watch any of The Force Awakens marketing materials, such as trailers or TV spots , you can plainly see there will be at least some lens flares featured in the new Star Wars . Hopefully, they’re not too distracting to enjoy The Force Awakens , but you know someone out there is going to count each and every one while watching the mo
Before Chris Hemsworth was famous as the Marvel hero Thor, he splashed onto the scene playing Captain Kirk’s father George in Star Trek . The 2009 reboot saw George killed in battle aboard the USS Kelvin, but his legacy, and that of the ship, lived on. In the sequel, fans were probably too busy trying to make sense of the bomb plot and blood transfusions to notice that the scene of the disaster was the Kelvin Memorial Archive. Named for Kirk’s ship, it means the destruction of the Kelvin set the plots of both films in motion – a subtle nod that only the diehard fans might have cau
Not to flog a dead horse, but this was an issue that many had with the prequels. When The Phantom Menace opened, several of the principal players were all people who had great knowledge of the conflict at hand. Obviously, they’re not going to explain situations to each other if they have a firm grasp of what’s going on. There wasn’t anybody there to receive exposition and stand in for the audience. For some, that made the events difficult to follow since there was not a protagonist in the traditional sense to help new viewers take their first step into a larger world. Abrams seems to have amended that problem by making The Force Awakens Rey’s story. She’ll be the one newcomers gravitate towards while longtime fans soak in the nostalgia of seeing Han and Chewbacca ag
For those not versed in Harry Potter mythology, we’ll just say that to bring down Lord Voldemort, the three Deathly Hallows were sort of an important combination. It wasn’t until the second last book that audiences learned that a cloak, stone, and Elder Wand held the key to victory, but the idea was teased ahead of time. As in, two full movies ahead of time. In one of the franchise’s best easter eggs, Dumbledore tells Harry that he’s been searching for such a detail that held the secret to defeating Voldemort – but the answer is literally right in front of him, in the form of a 3D version of the Deathly Hallows symbols stored in his own off
So by the time we get to The Force Awakens , it has been about 53 years since Jedi had a large presence in the galaxy. That is more than enough time for a youngster like Rey to be unsure of their existence. Particularly since Rey has been rumored to have spent her entire life on Jakku (which has the appearance of an Outer Rim planet), it’s likely that she’s only heard rumblings and rumors about one all-powerful Force controlling everything. Even Han, who was around 29 years old during A New Hope , said he never saw any evidence of it. The Star Wars galaxy is a vast place, and those who live on non-Republic planets don’t concern themselves with the “big city” happenings since it has no effect on their lifest
Backstory: Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) reveals that while working as a film projectionist, he would intentionally splice images of male genitalia into the reels – which were nearly imperceptible to moviegoers. For the Fight Club movie, director David Fincher utilized a similar approach but, game news|https://movietriviafocus.com/ in addition to one standalone penis picture, he also included four brief flashes of Durden in scenes (prior to the character’s official introducti
Though Obi-Wan’s ghost already played a role in the original trilogy (embodied by the late, great Sir Alec Guinness), as L-R correctly points out, Hayden Christensen was CGI-surgically implemented into George Lucas’ redux of Return of the Jedi in replacement of original Human-Vader actor, Sebastian Shaw. In that sense, McGregor’s slot in franchise is pretty secure, should the filmmakers choose to go in that direction. After all, for a younger generation of fans, McGregor IS Obi-
