Tip of the hat to Makingstarwars.net for first writing about this.
Today Makingstarwars.net has reported that the new Force Awakens watches where spotted on eBay.com. It’s hard to know if these new watches are authentic or not.
Here are some photos of what these new watches look like:
Bdlive.co.za, has an interesting story today—Han Solo will get his own anthology movie! In an interview with Disney Africa senior vice-president Christine Service, Service revealed upcoming Disney Star Wars plans:
The Force Awakens was one of a series of films that would extend the Star Wars franchise. These could be split into two series — one that looked at the Skywalker family, and the other that explored events and characters beyond that saga. In this second “anthology series” two films were in planning, the first already being filmed and a second that would delve into Han Solo’s backstory.
Also in the news:
Disney had acquired rights to toy company Lego’s Star Wars series and would release animated films using the Lego characters.
Service said there was not much more to reveal about the Disney plans for Star Wars — which includes a new electronic game in that series. “It’s being drip-fed to all of us,” she said.
Woohoo! Animated Lego Star Wars series! The Lego movie was awesome, so it’s great that there will be a series featuring the Lego mini figures of the Star Wars characters!
Here’s my review on the new Official Star Wars app!
Features:
What I like:
I like the themes feature because it’s very cool of how you can select your own theme interface for what you want your phone to look like.
I like the Force Trainer feature because it’s a game that allows you to wield a lightsaber and hone your skills against a training remote—just like the way Luke did in Star Wars episode 4: A New Hope. The object of the game is to receive five stars by blocking the lazer bolts that the remote shoots at you. Once you’ve received five stars, move on to the next level. If you don’t receive five stars you can try the level again to fix your mistakes. Of course, new levels are harder!
The Sound Board feature is great because it has voice quotes of the Star Wars characters and sound effect samples from each of the movies. Some of those effects include Vader’s breathing, R2-D2’s chipping sound, etc…
The selfie feature is fantastic because you can take photos of yourself in various iconic costumes. These various costumes include a Jedi, Princess Leia, Han Solo’s carbon freeze and so much more.
The News Feed provides news articles of updates on new toys and other things, blog posts to comment on, and some exclusive content of the app.
I liked the Gifs feature because these animated photos show some of the different scenes from each of the Star Wars movies, which is super cool. Plus you can even share these animated images with your friends and family.
The Augmented Reality camera feature is really something because when scanning the poster of the new Star Wars app the feature shows you a list of 3D characters that you click on and then appear exactly where you are sitting or standing.
What needs some work:
Since trying out the Force Trainer feature, I think that the game needs a little more polish. While playing it, I discovered that the handle of the saber looked like Anakin’s lightsaber but with a green blade instead of a blue one. A felony mistake in the Star Wars universe. I also think that the game should include a choose your own lightsaber handle and blade color before playing the game.
Overall, this is a great app! And best of all, it is free!
Disneyland has recently agreed to spend 1 billion dollars to expand the park in Anaheim, CA.
The Orange County Register talked to two Disney experts to speculate on how Star Wars might factor in:
George Lucas had been vying for space at Disneyland for years. The word on the street is that Disney officials were waiting to see how “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” does at the box office before revealing future plans. A Star Wars Land is likely in the expansion because “it has a global audience, and the blueprint could easily be taken around the world.”
Because “heads in beds” (more people staying in Disney hotels) is more lucrative than park ticket sales, Disney could make a “Star Wars”-themed land in both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Splitting Star Wars Land could “encourage people to stay longer and visit both parks in order to feel like they’ve seen the whole attraction.”
