Mark Hamill Teases Where Is Luke Skywalker?

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23188:]]

Where the heck is Luke Skywalker?

Luke has been noticeably absent from all teasers, trailers, promos and even merchandise.

As we get closer to the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the only tidbit from Mark Hamill and Luke Skywalker has been two cast images (pictured above) and a voice-over in a teaser. While an image of Luke Skywalker may have leaked online, we still don’t have a clue about anything in regards to the character.

While we here at Cosmic Book News actually think it’s a good thing (we’re not posting spoilers until the movie debuts), mainstream newspapers and even Mark Hamill himself have taken notice to the lack of attention — or maybe it should be said the lack of “promotion.”

Hamill posted the following image on Facebook of himself peeking behind a newspaper where the headline reads: “Where is Luke?”

An image has also been making its rounds on social media of a “Missing” Luke Skywalker as well (see below).

Obviously we’ll all discover what becomes of Luke on December 18th when the movie opens, and we are also guessing Disney will be amping up a second wave of promotion and merchandise following the movie’s debut with Luke Skywaker and more of the original cast as well.

Star Wars’ John Boyega Tells Star Trek’s William Shatner To Keep His Mouth Closed

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23154:]]

Star Trek vs. Star Wars has been a hot topic to debate amongs fans for a long time, and now John Boyega gets in on the mix.

For those that happen to follow William Shatner on Twitter, you know the actor is not known for holding his tongue. 

Shatner has previously tweeted out that BB-8 is the new Jar Jar Binks, and Shatner previously released video of himself discussing how Star Trek is better than Star Wars.

Now Yahoo has filled  in Boyega, who stars as Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, about Shatner’s trolling.

Here is what Boyega had to say to Shanter:

 “Here’s what you need to do,” Boyega said, addressing the man who played Captain Kirk. “Take a seat. Have a nice tea. And keep your mouth closed.”

Shatnet has yet to respond.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens December 18th.

Carrie Fisher Responds To Slave Leia Complaints

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23121:]]

It’s been said that since Disney now owns the rights to Star Wars, they will not be producing any more merchandise of Slave Leia.

Recently also saw a father complain about a Star Wars Slave Leia toy — in that he didn’t know how to explain it to his daughters, which went viral.

Now word of the incident has reached Carrie Fisher who offers up her own explanations to the guy’s daughters.

Via WSJ:

There’s been some debate recently about whether there should be no more merchandise with you in the “Return of the Jedi” bikini.

I think that’s stupid.

To stop making the merchandise?

The father who flipped out about it, “What am I going to tell my kid about why she’s in that outfit?” Tell them that a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didn’t like it. And then I took it off. Backstage.

And again via LA Times:

How about telling his daughter that the character is wearing that outfit not because she’s chosen to wear it. She’s been forced to wear it. She’s a prisoner of a giant testicle who has a lot of saliva going on and she does not want to wear that thing and it’s ultimately that chain, which you’re now indicating is some sort of accessory to S&M, that is used to kill the giant saliva testicle…. That’s asinine.

2,500 Actors Want Young Han Solo Role

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23094:]]

With a young Han Solo Star Wars movie in development, it’s become known that just about every actor in Hollywood that fits the bill is vying for the part.

According to THR, 2500 actors are seeking the role of the young Han Solo in the Star Wars Anthology movie from Christopher Miller and Phil Lord.

Names mentioned include: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Tom Felton, Leo Howard, Logan Lerman, Jack Reynor, Max Thieriot, Miles Teller, Rami Malek, Colton Hayne, Landon Liboiron, Ed Westwick, Joshua Sasse, among many others, including Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul said to be rumored for the role.

According to the report, the Han Solo movie is set to begin filming January 2017, so the filmmakers have a lot of time to consider the actor to play the part, with it noted they are auditioning everyone.

The description for the role is said to: “at least a bit like a young Ford and can be funny and charming as well as handle the expected action scenes. A few young comedians have been asked to read.”

The Han Solo screenplay is written by Lawrence Kasdan and Jon Kasdan. The story focuses on how young Han Solo became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel whom Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first encountered in the cantina at Mos Eisley.

The Han Solo movie has a May 25, 2018 release date.

Captain America: Civil War Trailer Shatters World Record


Captain America: Civil War Trailer
 

Marvel has let it be known that the recent Captain America: Civil War trailer has shattered the world record for most views in a 24-hour time period, which was previously held by The Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

While the official info doesn’t specifically state the sources of the viewings, we are guessing not only YouTube, but also Facebook and various other social media, sites and video players. 

Marvel also confirms the Captain America: Civil War trailer will be attached to Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The first trailer for Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” debuted online to a record-shattering 61M global views in its first 24 hours!

In theaters May 6, 2016, the third installment in the Captain America franchise was launched by a surprise appearance by Captain America himself, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last Tuesday, and immediately debuted online globally following its first look on air, along with three epic posters for the film. 

This debut trailer for “Captain America: Civil War“ almost doubled the previous record, held by the first trailer for Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron“ – which debuted to a then record-breaking 34 million views in 2014. 

Audiences will also soon be able to see the new “Captain America: Civil War“ trailer on the big screen on “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.“

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Synopsis:

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
