Mark Hamill's Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel shares some interesting facts, footage
Mark Hamill’s Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel shares some interesting facts, footage The Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel video shows Mark Hamill (famous for The Trickster from The Flash, and voices talents of cartoon characters . . . as well as a small sci-fi movie that opened in 1977) traces the history of Lightsaber duels. He also discusses his own personal history ties to the subject. Since his dad was a captain in the Navy based in Japan, he studied at a high school in Japan for two years and learned about the Japanese culture. I liked the history of the Samurai and how Mark’s life changed when he met George Lucas (the creator of Star Wars). Mark explained that when it was his turn to do a Lightsaber duel, he first had to work out, study martial arts, and learn Kendo for the very first time. Kendo is the Japanese art of fencing with two-handed bamboo swords, originally developed as a safe form of sword training for samurai. The best part of the video was George Lucas explaining how he evolved the Lightsaber duels over time, interviews with the actors, and footage of the actors training to get ready for the fighting scenes. Here is the Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel video (in case you have missed...
Favorite moment from Star Wars Premiere
Favorite moment from Star Wars Premiere One of my favorite moments of the Star Wars Premiere Red Carpet was seeing Josh Gad (famous for playing Olaf the snowman from Frozen and The Wonder Kid in Pixels) talk about how he was such a big Star Wars fan. He explained that when The Phantom Menace came out he stood in line for it and had to skip school during his senior year because he was so blown away by the action. Though after seeing all the prequels he did wonder what was coming next! His interview starts at 20:13. Here is the video of the Red...

The Grim Reaper's guide to The Force Awakens
The Grim Reaper’s guide to The Force Awakens So who might die in The Force Awakens? There is a video that speculates who might not make it though the hole movie. As a big Star Wars fan I hope that none of the main characters die in the movie because with out them how could they destroy the First Order! But perhaps, similar to episode IV, an important character (like Obi-Wan Kenobi) will die in order to spur on the new characters. However, from looking at the videos of the different Force Awakens trailers, I would say that this is nonsense that Han and Chewie might die. In one of the trailers Rey was scene crying over a body of someone unknown; there is speculation that it was Chewie. Here is the video:...Star Wars Episode IX
