  • Is Adam Driver The Villain In Star Wars: Episode VII?

    2013-tiff-f-word-premiere

    The man who would be Nightwing may be headed to space.

    Adam Driver (Girls), who was rumored to be up for the role of Dick Grayson in Zack Snyder’s Batman vs. Superman, may have just landed a bigger role. Reports are that he close to a deal that will make him the main antagonist in Star Wars: Episode VII.

    With the news on characters and plot being under strict lock and key, there can be only speculation as to who he will play. The easy money is on a Sith Lord with rumors saying the role will be in the vein of Darth Vader.

    Let’s hope they don’t build him up as a big bad to have him cut in half in the first movie.

    We should hear more definitive casting very soon. Episode VII is to begin filming in April.

     

  • Star Wars Episodes 2 & 3 3D Release Dates.

     

    There was a bit of a surprise at the end of of Star Wars Celebration VI this weekend when the release dates for both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith 3D  were announced and the wait between the two films will be much less than the year apart Lucas and company had initially announced.

    Star Wars Episode 2 3D will release on September 20th, 2013 which is a little over a year and a half after Episode 1 was released this past February but they are making up for the extra wait by releasing Episode 3 on October 11, 2013, a mere three weeks later.

    Now I didn’t go see Episode 1 in theaters and for good reasons which any self respecting person should know but in my opinion the prequels did get progressively better so I will most likely be attending Attack of the Clones and definitely seeing Revenge of the Sith.

    Side note: Has anyone thought how differently the Star Wars movies would be thought of if there was no prequel trilogy, just Episode 3 which I consider a good movie.
