IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY





I can´t recall when exactly i saw for the first time STAR WARS. I know my dad took my sister and me to see Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi to the movie theatre. But what i can recall is the mark it left on me. I wanted to be Luke Skywalker with my GREEN lightsaber. When the toys came  out i wanted everything, all the bad guys, the monsters, the ships and the movies.My love for STARWARS has grown all this years. I don´t know how many times we´ve watched them(A new hope, Empire and Return) over and over again, until scenes become our memories and quotes become vocabulary.




If you are like me, you watch at least 10 times the STAR WARS EPISODE VII trailer everyday.

Probably NOT. But you´ve watched it. And you are waiting for that movie as i am. 
Episode 7 The Force Awakens will mark the return of the original cast and hits theatres on December 18th 2015. 



That gives us a whole year of speculations and plot theories. Basically every fan has that date marked on the calendar.Wether you like, love or religiously practice STAR WARS everyone is expecting to see it. This movie continues the story of Luke Skywalker exactly 32 years after the destruction of the Death Star on RETURN OF THE JEDI.



WHAT WE KNOW
    1. The force  has been awakened
  1. The Return of the Skywalkers, Han Solo , Chewbacca, C3PO & R2D2
    1.  Episode 7 is a J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan STORY.



From the TRAILER 

  • Tatooine
  • A 3 blade lightsaber
  • X WINGS
  • STORMTROOPERS
  • MILLENIUM FALCON
  • TIE FIGHTERS

A voice saying:

"There´s been an awakening..." 
"Have you felt it? "
" The DARKSIDE and the LIGHT........."


WHAT WE CAN EXPECT
  • A better movie than EPISODE I, EPISODE II and EPISODE III
  • The Star Wars SOUNDS(J.J. is very intelligent and if you listen carefully the trailer again its full of OLD Star Wars sounds)
  • A NEW TRAILER... probably in AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON featuring the returning cast members.
  • THE JEDI vs THE SITH
  • The John Williams SCORE. 
  • Luke using the force or teaching as KENOBI the ways of the force.
  • Han calling Chewbacca some name like " LAUGH IT UP...FUZBALL"
  • Space battles involving the MILLENIUM FALCON
  • new characters with old characters
  • practical effects less CGI
  • A REAL STORY 
  • An epic final scene
  • EPISODE 8 and EPISODE 9.

We shouldn´t FORGET

Making a STAR WARS film is extremely difficult. Not only to film, but can you imagine the process of PRE and POST PRODUCTION of the story, the screenplay, the special effects, the actor rehearsals, visual effects, audio effects it must be a maze of confusion.

I for one, admire J.J. ABRAMS for taking on THE SINGLE BIGGEST RISK in Hollywood TODAY.

After rebooting STAR TREK taking the STAR WARS FRANCHISE 
and  trying to fulfill everyone´s hopes and dreams.






And selling it to todays SPOILER OBSESSED social networking audience.

The Force Awakens teaser trailer was released on November 28, 2014,  on YouTube generating a record 58.2 million views in its first week, surpassing trailers forAvengers: Age of Ultron (50.6 million views) and Jurassic World (53.9 million).



J.J. and KASDAN must´ve written something good so that original cast members would return and reprise their LEGENDARY ROLES.

By far EPISODE 7 is the most anticipated film event of 2015.





I can´t wait to see EPISODE VII.



Lets just count the days  until we see the lights DIM and those blue letters appear 
on the BIG SCREEN :
