We finally got to see where Darth Vader hangs his cape and calls home in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This was a really cool scene in which we are shown the dark and sinister castle on the hot and fiery planet of Mustafar.
Vader was ordered to live there by The Emperor as a constant reminder of his anger at Obi-Wan Kenobi and what he did to him. Remember, that's the place where Obi-Wan sliced all his limbs off with his lightsaber and left him being burned to a crisp.
The information comes from Pablo Hidalgo's Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide (via /Film), which offers the following info on Vader's castle:
“Dark Monolith: Vader’s personal abode is an obsidian tower on an inhospitable world. It is the Emperor’s design that Vader lives in such an unforgiving environment. Vader’s attendant,...

New Star Wars: Rogue One Spot Teases Another Classic Villain; Plus Run Time and New Poster Relvealed
I don't know about you, but I already have my ticket for opening night of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. They went on sale last night. I know you're all already sold on the film, and you may want to keep certain elements of the film a surprise, but this latest TV spot teases the return of an old Star Wars villain, and it's kinda cool to see. I won't say who it is right here, but below the trailer I'll talk about it.
We also have a new poster for the film displaying the tagline, "A Rebellion is Build on Hope." It's also being reported that the movie will be two hours and thirteen minutes long. That news comes from Lucasfilm creative executive Pablo Hidalgo on Twitter.

I'm saddened to report today that Star Wars actor Kenny Baker, best known for playing R2-D2, has passed away. The Guardian reported the actor "has died at the age of 81 after a long illness." [Update: The Guardian previously stated he was 83] Baker, who also played Paploo the Ewok in the Star Wars franchise, also had roles in Labyrinth, Time Bandits, and Flash Gordon. His niece Abigail Shield told the Guardian, “It was expected, but it’s sad nonetheless. He had a very long and fulfilled life. He brought lots of happiness to people and we’ll be celebrating the fact that he was well loved throughout the world. We’re all very proud of what he achieved in his lifetime.” Baker's wife Eileen passed away in 1993, they had two children. R2-D2 was created by George Lucas, designed by Ralph McQuarrie, co-developed by John Stears, built by Tony Dyson, and had vocal effects from Ben Burtt. Baker was...

Last week's Star Wars Celebration video for Rogue One revealed some new aliens coming to the upcoming Star Wars Story, but this week brings about new details on the characters, while Sdcc reveals an entirely new character we haven't seen before. Come inside to check it all out!
With Rogue One: A Star Wars Story only a few months away from release, information on the upcoming film are starting to come in, especially with the double-whammy of Celebration and Sdcc back-to-back. While we know quite a bit now about the human characters in the film, one of the coolest things (I think anyway) about Rogue One, is the amount of aliens who will be joining the cast.

Over the weekend at Star Wars Celebration we learned that screenwriter David Goyer (The Dark Knight Trilogy) is working on developing a Darth Vader project with Industrial Light & Magic’s ILMxLAB. It was initially described as being a story-based experience that will revolve around the legendary Sith Lord. Goyer explained:
“When we looked at all the characters, places, and worlds in the Star Wars universe available to us, we asked ourselves, ‘What haven’t we seen before? Who are we curious about?’ Darth Vader is the perfect ambassador to usher us into theStar Wars Vr universe.”
Thanks to /Film, we now have more details on this project. According to Lucasfilm writer Pablo Hidalgo, this Darth Vader Vr is going to be an emotional experience. So much so that it will apparently make you cry. Hidalgo says:

With Star Wars: The Force Awakens now baked into the fabric of pop culture, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story nearly a year away, the all-seeing eye of Sauron entertainment coverage turned from a galaxy far, far away. Superhero Season is ramping up, after all. Plus all those hotly anticipated shows are either back or about to kick into gear again. The world had moved on…momentarily. That was a mistake. While we were all distracted by men in rubber suits, Glenn’s fate, and Schrödinger's Jon Snow, somehow not one but Two pieces of Rogue One footage leaked online. The first footage comes from over a month ago. It was allegedly filmed at Elstree Film Studios in the U.K., according to The Mirror. There isn’t much to go on in the low-quality video.

As everyone waits to dive into "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" once again when it arrives on Blu-ray next month, those who have crowed that J.J.

There's a strong emphasis on not revisiting the past, and it stresses "be original."

West End Games had a Star Wars tabletop RPG from 1987 to 1999, and it’s one of the many things that fans had to immerse themselves in the Star Wars universe when no movies were being made. Over those years, West End regularly released supplements and expansions.
In 1994 West End released a writer’s guide for authors who were looking to write content for the RPG. Excerpts from that guide have been released by Pablo Hidalgo, who happens to be part of Lucasfilm’s story team.
The information found in this guide is great stuff, and there are things here that not only should George Lucas have followed when making the prequel trilogy, but that Lucasfilm should take note and follow in the upcoming films they are making. You can find several great gems from the book that were tweeted by Hidalgo below. Read them over and let us know what you think in the comments.

Star Wars had been part of pop culture for over three decades by the time George Lucas gave the reigns to Disney. That’s a long time for the lore to build up. Between the novels, comics, TV specials, and spin-off movies, the Star Wars universe had bloated into a contradictory mess. I was as sad as anyone to see Thrawn and Mara Jade tossed to the side when Disney detonated the Expanded Universe, but it made sense. Star Wars had fractured and trying to stitch it back together would’ve been worse than herding cats. Better to start from scratch. But it only took one tie-in novel to set the chain reaction off all over again. When Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit theaters last year, Starkiller Base had a lot of people scratching their heads. How did eat the sun’s energy? Wouldn’t that affect the gravity...

When the title for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was initially announced, it was well-received by almost all fans of the saga. The Force Awakens had a healthy dose of mysticism mixed with subtlety and a though-provoking tone. But most of all, it definitely conveyed a message and a promise for something grander. However, there was a time when the seventh movie almost inherited a title from a book that used to be canon.
Pablo Hidalgo, Creative Executive for the Lucasfilm Story Group, told Jedi News:
"For longest time, the Tfa title was the same as an old novel. Thankfully it changed. :) With so many books, it's inevitable... it was Shadow (singular) of the Empire for a while."

The Star Wars universe is really, really big. Not only that, but fans of the films have also developed a reputation for being somewhat particular and obsessive over the minutiae that might pop up in any of the movies, comics, books, or television shows. But with George Lucas gone, how did Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ director and co-writer J.J. Abrams keep track of everyone in the galaxy far, far, away and make sure that all of the film’s details were exactly right? Well, he didn’t. He simply used Pablo Hidalgo to do all the fact checking for him.

Less than three weeks before "Star Wars: The Force Awakens'" theatrical debut, writer/director J.J. Abrams stopped by "Howard Stern" for an extensive chat on everything from the Harrison Ford hydraulic-door incident to the "black Stormtrooper" controversy to the time William Shatner called him a pig. Here are 10 major highlights from this morning's interview, with relevant soundclips embedded. 1. He gave a perfect political answer when asked why Luke Skywalker has been left out of the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" trailers. Telling Howard that it drives him "nuts" when trailers give away the entire movie, Abrams responded simply: "Here's the thing. I really want to make sure we're not ruining the movie for people." So, keep speculating, I guess. 2. He put William Shatner's "pig" dig in its proper context. "First of all, badge of honor," said Abrams of the time the original Captain Kirk called him a "pig...

While there.s always been subsequent novels and comic books showcasing a narrative of his survival, it seems that his chances of returning to the continuity are better than they.ve ever been, thanks to the current methodology of the Disney-sized Lucasfilm.

However, a less-heralded narrative would also come about from the event.s array of interviews; namely one from Slash Film regarding Lucasfilm.s long-term strategy with the Star Wars Expanded Universe canon.

Star Wars: Episode VII, the beginning of a new trilogy no one was expecting, is set for release on December 18, 2015, and we know nothing about the plot. We haven’t even had a title yet and Lucasfilm/Disney refuses to confirm even the return of the Big Three Luke, Leia, and Han. However, the filmmakers, led by writer/director Jj Abrams, has a veritable bounty of possible plots to follow; he need look no further than the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
The Expanded Universe consists of books, films, and video games telling new stories taking place in the Star Wars galaxy. The comics under the Marvel brand released after 1977 and the novel Splinter of the Mind’s Eye were the predecessors of the Expanded Universe, and it has since grown into an absolutely massive library of history. When the new films were announced, a minor storm of controversy began...

For longtime Star Wars fans, there’s always been somewhat of an unspoken boundary between the properties. Essentially, everything that happened in the movies was considered canon while anything in the books, comics, video games, or television shows was pretty much its own thing. Under George Lucas’s supervision, his movies more or less stood their own. This probably proved disheartening for folks that sunk tons of time and money into things like spin-off novels, hoping the creative work of those writers would somehow be incorporated into the overall tapestry of Star Wars.
Now that LucasFilm is under new management, though, it looks like that philosophy is about to change. Leland Chee recently took to Twitter to explain how he and Pablo Hidalgo are part of brain-trust that will seek to unify all facets of Star Wars to create one cohesive canon.

Update: Pablo Hidalgo, who works in story development for Lucasfilm, is stating that the below clip was created for a video game that was also called Jurassic World, but that was separate from the new movie. This is awesome. But, before we all get too excited, we need to be abundantly clear: this is not an official trailer for Jurassic World. If you expect to see this on the big screen in 2015, you're probably going to be disappointed. That's because this is a pitch trailer; meaning it was created by someone solely with the purpose of landing a job working on Jurassic World. In this case it was created by Iain McCaig, the concept artist who designed Darth Maul for George Lucas. He showcased the video at a recent Star Wars convention in Germany, which is where...

Now that we know when and under what title a fourth "Jurassic Park" movie will appear — "Jurassic World" opens in June 2015 — we're free to speculate about more specific issues, like what the heck the thing will actually be about.
Today, a video that some are claiming is a pitch reel for "Jurassic World" has surfaced online, causing many to speculate that the upcoming sequel will finally answer the fan questions about whether the flying creatures from the prehistoric island could fly to the main land.
Check out the reel and read more about the theories on it after the jump!
According to Oliver Thompson, the YouTube user that uploaded the camcorder recorded video, Iain McCaig showed this footage at Star Wars Celebration II, but it was his presumption that it was for a "Jurassic Park" movie sequel.

Disney has announced its plans for the upcoming D23 Expo, which will take place August 9 through the 11 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA. The event will highlight both Marvel Comics and Star Wars, with a big attraction being concept art of the original trilogy’s iconic villain, Darth Vader.
Well-known properties in their own right, both Marvel Comics and Star Wars are owned by The Walt Disney Company, bought, respectively, in 2009 and 2012. Coincidentally, Marvel was the first comic publishing company to issue Star Wars comics, which ran from 1977 to 1986 and spanned 107 issues (with 3 annual specials).
The press release, originally posted on D23.com, reads as follows.
Disney Consumer Products (Dcp) will give Disney’s most loyal fans an up close look at an extensive collection of interactive experiences and merchandise that celebrate Disney, Marvel and Star Wars timeless characters during the bi-annual D23 Expo, the ultimate Disney fan event.

Not long after San Diego Comic-Con ends, Disney will be holding their annual D23 fan expo. Disney is expected to announce their plans for some theme park developments as well as what they are looking to do for future films and TV series. This year they'll be adding Star Wars to their repertoire. I've gone to D23 the last couple of years, and I've always had a pretty fun time.
Disney revealed some of their plans today in the following press release. The event is held at the Anaheim Convention Center from August 9th to the 11th. As the event gets closer they will reveal what panels will be held.

The San Diego Comic Con is coming up this week (yay!), and Disney plans on making it all about their Marvel properties, which makes sense. However, that doesn't mean they've forgotten about their other major franchise, Star Wars, and is planning something special in a few weeks during their D23 Expo. Come in to check out their press release about it.
Disney has been hosting their own event in the form of the D23 Expo for a few years now, and in the past it's given fans info on Tron and even The Avengers. This year, we can look forward to a heavy Star Wars presence. The event is just a few weeks away (August 9th-11th), and the House of Mouse has announced that Star Wars will be having a big presence there.

We told you the other day that Disney has taken its first step into the Star Wars animated world by announcing a new series called Star Wars Rebels, which premieres later this year. What makes this unlike any other animated Star Wars programs is that it takes place between Episodes III and IV, allowing animators to play in a space very similar to that of the original trilogy. In this new video, Pablo Hidalgo and executive producer Dave Filoni discuss the new show, noting that much of it is inspired by the iconic concept art Ralph McQuarrie worked on for the original trilogy. The image above is one they point out in the video below, teasing the very familiar--and very epic--space battles still to come. Additionally, Filoni, who teases the entire show by sitting in front of a...

There's been a lot of talk about the possible return of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII. There's been all kinds of confirmations, denials, and people just playing coy with it all. We all know it's going to happen, but, according to George Lucas all three of the actors will return in the seventh episode, in fact he said they were already signed on to do it before Disney bought Lucasfilm! Here's what he had to say in an interview about it with Businessweek,
"We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison—or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation. So I called them to say, ‘Look, this is what’s going on.’ He pauses. ‘Maybe I’m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them.

Remember that one time Mickey Mouse made a cameo appearance in "The Empire Strikes Back"? During the epic fight between Luke and Vader? Right before Vader reveals his true identity to Luke? You don't? Here, let us show you.
The tip about the Disney character's secret cameo came from Pablo Hidalgo over at the "Star Wars" Blog, who appropriately described the image as "something that you’ll now never be able to un-see." How right he is.
The cameo comes right before Vader sends Luke flying out the window at Cloud City during their climactic battle. Hidden along the back wall, you can find a subtle outline of the iconic face and ears. While we don't know the origin story behind the reference, but let's just assume it was a message from the future.

Mickey Mouse is your father?
As noticed by Star Wars Blog writer Pablo Hidalgo (via Slashfilm), the connection between Lucasfilm and Disney goes back much farther than Oct. 30, 2012, the date Disney purchased George Lucas' empire. In fact, "Star Wars" and Disney were first put together 33 years ago ... in "Star Wars."
During the climatic lightsaber duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back," none other than Mickey Mouse can be spotted in the background. As Hidalgo writes, "Just pointing out something that you’ll now never be able to un-see."
Head over to Star Wars Blog to see the full Mickey Mouse cameo ("cameo"). Disney and Lucasfilm are busy putting together "Star Wars: Episode VII," because we now live in a world where there needs to be more "Star Wars" movies.
