Disney and Lucasfilm have announced 'Star Wars Force Friday II', the day on which the new merchandise from the films will go on sale. The day when miles of people line up to get something unique from their favorite saga, the day the fans' excitement is triggered by the closeness of the premiere. September 1st.
With the news also have wanted to reveal also the theme that will decorate the packaging of all products, and with it, the first exclusive image of the protagonist trio of 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'.
The first Star Wars Force Friday event was truly unique, uniting fans across five continents in an unprecedented global live unboxing event ahead of thousands of midnight openings at retail," said Jimmy Pitaro, chairman, Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media. "We're excited to confirm that Star Wars Force Friday is back for The Last Jedi. Plans for this year's worldwide event are top secret, but expect something befitting the excitement around the next episode of the Star Wars saga."
Like you can see, the protagonists haven't changed too much since 'The Force Awakens'. Which more called the attention is certainly King, which presents a combed different, just in the center of the image with the saber of Luke Skywalker. Finn surprises us by being "faithful" to Poe, carrying his jacket. Shippers, keep the faith.
What's coming up in 'The Last Jedi?'
The other folks wont roll back in until maybe five. I replaced all the jars of their poison. It's impossible to preserve any sense of drama, after that. We didn't stop Ruthie from stopping by the hotel. The film will be releasing on the 15th of December, 2017. Rey (Daisy Ridley) will continue to play the role of the main heroine. So, what do you say. Should we get this party started. While I snuck off to destroy the photo of her. Lance had told me she wouldn't want to stray from her portrait. His photo required so much more than the others. So we were level with.
1 George Lucas and Continuity
Alex Tavoularis is a long-standing artist in Hollywood, and in some of the notes he leaves on the Storyboard of 'Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope', he talks about how George Lucas had some fixation with the congruence of all designs of characters, ships, stages ... to achieve a seal of coherence to the universe that was standing there.
This vision of Luke, in the mid-seventies, was very radical; And it is vox populi that very few people trusted or understood Lucas's obsession with the science fiction paradigm that was about to emerge.
However, the value of Lucas I believe that it is necessary to go to look right there, to the clarity with which he saw the gesta of a universe called 'Star Wars'.
2 C-3PO was grotesque
As soon as I opened the book, the image that struck me the most was C-3PO. In the version that end is a beloved companion, in the first sketches of art, for being too anthropomorphized, is almost a grotesque figure. The humanoid recalls, in some degree, to the design of the engineer in the 'Prometheus' of Ridley Scott.
In this sketch, we can see how C-3PO has been humanized: the joints are just as sharp but he is rather more full-bodied than in his final version. In other sketches that are distributed by storyboard of first film we see how he runs smoothly. There are even parts where his expressivity is noted.
3 Eyes and a mouth for R2-D2
Following the droids section, we must stop at R2-D2, also much more expressive or more Humanized, the illustration of what was finally reflected in the film. R2-D2 is, in my eyes, one of the best built characters of all the franchise, since it manages to transmit all kinds of emotions without understandable language, nor facial features. This is the same philosophy that Abrams used when he built BB-8 in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'.
4 Darth Vader the 'Bulldog'; his different mouth-piece designs
In keeping with the game's character designs, Darth Vader's also sees multiple interpretations between various managers of the storyboard artists, and with respect to the final version. It is clear that the guideline of Lucas was going in a very specific direction: a burly man, black coat, and a huge helmet. But from there multiple visions up to the final design. In annotations spoken "Bulldog" as a visual reference for the design of the hull.
5 Constructing the charisma of the Millennium Falcon
I love this page specifically because we see the before and the after. In the illustration above is discovered the ship based on Mos Eisley with adventurers escaping from the Empire. In this sketch is known as annotation: "the pirate ship is going". It is clear that it is the Millennium Falcon, but not like anything that finally ends in the film. In the bottom illustration prints is identical, exactly the same layout of buildings, but now with the recognizable appearance of Han Solo's ship.
6 And Ben doesn't die?
The climax of 'A New Hope' is reached with the death of Obi-Wan Kenobi at the hands of Darth Vader. However, this was not a decision that was clear from the outset, and the live show we have in this plane that never came into existence in which Obi-Wan appears as a survivor at the close of the first film of the classic sustained trilogy By Luke.
Fortunately, Lucas decided to kill Obi-Wan, making this moment one of the most important in the trilogy. Obi-Wan's death strengthens Vader's character as a villain, while sowing the seed of vengeance on Luke Skywalker. At the same time, the sacrifice makes Obi-Wan the martyr who guides the Luminous Side. All the motivations would have changed if they had happened in any other way.
