Header image:@Mousterpiecenoticed that Pixar’s Up, released in 2009, featured this image of the characters seeing Star Wars on the big screen. Episode III came out four years prior. Did they know something we didn’t?
WhileStar Wars Episode VIIstars John Boyega and Daisy Ridley have left Twitter, co-starPip Andersenis still there. We have very little idea who he’s playing though we know he was hiredfor his parkour abilities. Does that mean he’s a Jedi? Maybe. However, he recently tweeted that visited Imaginarium Studios and demonstrated his “skills.”
@piptrixwas great to see your skills thanks for coming over!

The Imaginarium is a company specializing in performance capture so this raises a bunch of questions. Was he just there to visit fellowStar Warsstar Andy Serkis, who co-founded the company? Was he performing a little demonstration? Or was he there to do full performance capture for a role? I’d guess, if he’s tweeting about it, it’s not revealing in any way but it’s fun to speculate about.Making Star Warshas the info.
Star Wars Rebelsis finally here and Disney announced that 6.5 million people watched the premiere over the weekend. You can read all the particulars on the ratings over atVariety. It’ll continue in its regular time slot at 9 p.m. every Monday moving ahead.
Speaking of which, we’ll be hearing more about what’s planned for this first season at theStar Wars RebelsNew York Comic-Con panel this weekend. More info onthe official site.
WithStar Warsramping up to explode back in the public consciousness, the traveling showStar Wars in Concertmight be returning.MintItBox.net(viaSW Underworld) report show hostAnthony Daniels(C-3PO) revealed this at a German comic book convention. If true, the official Star Wars website will surely let everyone know about locations and tickets when they’re ready.
StarWars.com has a fantastic, in depth interview withSimon Kinbergtalking aboutStar Wars Rebels. It’s three parts but, as of press time, only the first two have been posted.Part one is abouthow he came aboard the show and developing and creating the characters.Part two goesalmost scene by scene through the first episode, talking about inspirations and more. It’s a great, great read.
Making Star Warshas reportedly seen concept art of a hanger inStar Wars Episode VII. I won’t say which side it’s for – Rebels, Imperial, other – but there are actual images of the space as well. Not a huge spoiler by any means, but, worth checking out. They also write about a potential scene in the movie with more than one lightsaber, some iconic imagery and more. This one isa little bigger of a spoilerif it’s true.
This hasn’t been announced officially, but aNew York Timesreporter took to Twitter to post this:
