“It came about when we were having a brainstorming meeting,” Debra Dorfman, v-p and publisher at Scholastic, said, reports Publishers Weekly. “We thought, we should do a biography series of fictional characters. How fun would that be?”

The first three titles of the line focuse on Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, and will be published in March, right in time for the release of the Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

“We’re using writers that are already immersed in these worlds, and we’re getting to dive into the archives of these characters,” Dorfman said.

It’s also noted more DC titles are in the works including Harley Quinn and Super Girl. Plans are also underway to produce Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars Princess Leia and Darth Vader.

Fisher took to Twitter to post the following image of herself along with her dog, adding: “Merry ForceMust from Gary & his trusty tongue, Jabba Claus without his drool covered tongue….&…moi.”

Carrie Fisher also recently responded to the Slave Leia complains offering they are pretty ridiculous.

Watch: Andy Serkis Tells Conan O’Brien He’s Playing Evil Jar Jar Binks

Have you heard the fan theory that the big bad of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is actually Jar Jar Binks? And that Andy Serkis is playing the character, aka Supreme Leader Snoke?

Well, the theory may hold some merit as the actor that played Jar Jar Binks previously revealed details about a cut scene from Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith featuring Jar Jar and the Emperor.

For even more evidence that Jar Jar Binks went to the Dark Side, check out this subreddit on Reddit.

We hope Serkis is just kidding, but you can find out more when the full interview airs tonight on Conan O’Brien at 11:00pm ET on TBS.

We also have yet to see an official look at Snoke.

Disney and J.J. Abrams held the Red Carpet premiere for Star Wars: The Force Awakens earlier tonight. Check out the video feed above.

You can jump to the 1:16:16 mark to hear from Mark Hamill who talks about why we haven’t see Luke Skywalker.

“Well, you’ll see. In two hours time, we’ll have a nice coversation,” Hamill responded to questioning.

Hamill was also asked about how this must have been the easiest press tour for him (as he wasn’t involved).

“They are doing the heavy lifting because of the marketing decision to keep my character mysterious,” Hamill said. “Which is great, and I am having a good time, but I have to shhhh.”

Mark Hamill also answered a fan question regarding what was difficult about returning to the character of Luke, with Hamill answering it was trying to find out what the character has been doing for the past 30 years. Hamill also said he didn’t want to revisit the past with Luke, but use the character to usher in a new story.

See the video above for more.

Exclusive Deadpool Trailer Attached To Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23261:]]

A Deadpool trailer will be shown in front of Star Wars: The Force Awakens next Friday on IMAX. 

Update: According to Alberta Film Ratings, the Deadpool IMAX trailer will be 27 seconds long. In addition, two new Deadpool trailers are listed (which may be a PG-13 and a Red-Band version) coming in at 2 minutes and 24 seconds.

A user on Reddit who works at a movie theater posted a picture of the box that contains the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie where listed are the following trailers:

Batman Vs. Superman
Captain America: Civil War
Deadpool
Independence Day: Resurgence
Jungle Book
Warcraft

Note: The Deadpool trailer may be new as it appears to be an IMAX 2D exclusive.

It was thought Fox was going with the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer (perhaps in different screenings for the Force Awakens?), but we see from the image some sort of Deadpool (assuming a non-Red-Band version) will be featured on IMAX.

You can watch the latest Deadpool trailer below.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens Friday, December 18th, with advance screenings kicking off Thursday night.

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Mark Hamill To Host EPSN Star Wars Documentary

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23192:]]

While we have yet to see Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the actor can be seen hosting a Star Wars documentary on ESPN.

Examining the sport and athleticism behind the choreography and training utilized in the making of Star Wars lightsaber duels, Star Wars: Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel, hosted by Mark Hamill, will air Tuesday, Dec. 15, at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. The documentary will precede the Friday, Dec. 18, launch of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in U.S. theaters.

Check out the trailer below.

“Lightsaber duels from the Star Wars films are some of cinema’s most recognized battles and an iconic part of the most popular movie franchise of all time,” said Craig Lazarus, ESPN vice president, SportsCenter & News, Storytelling Units.

“We will take viewers on a unique journey that examines the connection of these duels to sports and their evolution, from the original trilogy through the prequels, and now to Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” said Lazarus. “Viewers will see the transition from fencing and samurai swordplay in the original films to an increased focus on martial arts and the sport of kendo.”

For the documentary, ESPN traveled to the 2015 Kendo World Championships in Japan to gather interviews and information to explain the genesis of kendo and how it applies to Star Wars lightsaber duels.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23193:]]

Hamill, who reprises his role of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, lived in Japan for his last two years of high school and is very familiar with kendo.

“I really feel that kendo has informed so much of what we have done in the films it is about time that it gets some long-overdue recognition,” Hamill said.

What people don’t realize is how much goes into what appears to be just minutes on the screen,” Hamill said. “The elaborate choreography for the actual fight is done on several different sets over a period of weeks and then it is edited down to what you see on the screens, so I am happy people are able to see the amount of work that goes into it.”

The program also will include behind-the-scenes video of actor John Boyega, who plays Finn in the new film, as he trains for a lightsaber battle scene. Boyega is interviewed for the program as is his kendo trainer, Paul Vincent.

SC Featured also traveled to England to interview actor Ian McDiarmid, who portrayed Emperor Palpatine in previous Star Wars films and Nick Gillard, kendo expert and former Star Wars stunt man and choreographer.

New interviews with film director/producer J.J. Abrams and Jonathan W. Rinzler, Lucasfilm historian, are also part of the documentary along with rare, behind-the-scenes footage from the Lucasfilm archive.

On Oct. 19, the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens debuted during halftime of ESPN’s Monday Night Football game between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, with tickets for the movie going on sale immediately afterward.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has a December 18, 2015 release directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer.

Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.
