The newest Millennium Falcon LEGO set is here, and we're going down its hallways in detail. This is the Falcon as it existed in one of its earliest forms - the earliest we've yet seen it. This was back when Lando Calrissian owned the ship and the ship - man - it was clean. So clean it almost breaks the "used future" Science Fiction George Lucas originally pierced our collective consciousness with in A New Hope.
Today we're having a peek at a collection of Lando Calrissian toys from the film Solo: A Star Wars Story. This is the first in a set of three films, all centered on the coolest outlaws in the classic film series. What we're looking at today is the expression - that one, singular expression - through which actor Donald Glover's projected the soul of Lando, a role originally commanded by Billy Dee Williams.
All iPhone devices able to run ARKit can now play Holochess from the Star Wars universe. This is the game most famously played onboard the Millennium Falcon by R2-D2 and Chewbacca - but it also appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and in analog format in Rogue One. Now, thanks to Lenovo, we're able to play anywhere.
Details for the full first wave of LEGO Star Wars: Solo sets are here. It's time to peruse the collection from top to bottom. Every set from Chewbacca to an Imperial Patrol Battle Pack. Ever set from a new Imperial TIE Fighter to the Kessel Run Millennium Falcon. We've got the whole shebang right here, right this minute.
Bill & Ted Face the Music is the proposed name of the third Bill and Ted movie, a movie that's no joke. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter came together at the tail end of March 2018 to do an interview with Entertainment Weekly and confirm that the third film in the Bill & Ted series was, indeed, very possible. Original Bill & Ted writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon came along for the talk, too, and suggested they're [THIS CLOSE] to the film being green-lit.
The scene you're about to see shows Captain Phasma and a couple of stormtroopers from the Star Wars universe. Unless you were present at an Epic Games / Unreal Engine presentation this week, you've probably never seen what we're about to show you. This is both a demonstration of the newest in real-time ray tracing in Unreal Engine 4 and a potential moment in time in events taking place DURING Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Today we're having a peek at what's included with the digital purchase of Star Wars: The Last Jedi with Movies Anywhere. This service is like a central hub for multiple connected streaming video services like VUDU, Google Play, iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, and Fandango Now. With Movies Anywhere, Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released with a version of the film not available with any other service.
On the 13th of March, 2018, Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released in its digital form with one pretty strange feature. Included with the purchase of the digital format was a music score-only version of the film, completely devoid of effects sounds or dialogue of any sort. This version required only one extra action after the film was purchased.
The most hardcore bar-none Star Wars fans look for moments like these in this universe. Mark Hamill can be seen in a video clip for the documentary for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, tearing up in the presence of an old friend. I wont reveal who that old friend is here in the first paragraph because that'd be a spoiler for the very, very few people who haven't yet seen The Last Jedi - YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
It's as if Disney calls Jon Favreau first, and if he's not available, they move on to someone else. Today Disney announced that they'd signed on Jon Favreau to executive produce and write a Star Wars TV show that'll come first to Disney's streaming content app (still not yet released.) This is the 12-billionth time Favreau will have worked with Disney in a leading role.
Just a moment ago, folks at Anovos revealed a real-deal Sabine Wren Mandalorian helmet this morning, complete with graffiti. This was the first time this sort of helmet was made available as a real-life prop for sale to the average person. The folks at Anovos generally focus on props made of products in live action movies and TV shows - but this is an exception, and an exceptional one at that.
The first toy in the Hasbro HASLAB project was announced in Jabba's Sail Barge from Star Wars. Like other crowdfunding projects, this HASLAB toy will not be created unless the project gets a set number of pledges. Unlike other crowdfunding projects, this toy's promise is set and executed by Hasbro itself. The crowdfunding, the production, and the shipping is all done by Hasbro itself, not a 3rd-party startup.
