"Science & Star Wars" First Episode Does Lightsabers.... Kinda

September 22, 2017

IBM's Science & Star Wars first episode has kicked off this exploration into a galaxy from a long time ago, far, far away with trying to create a lightsaber. An eloquent weapon from a more eloquent time. Needless to say, I was excited about this as it was one more step into me one day owning a lightsaber of my own. After watching I found this isn't as much a lightsaber though, it's more of a one-use vibroblade. Which is still impressive as hell, it's still the closest thing I've ever seen. Watching this thing saw through steel got me pretty excited. Biggest drawbacks were the oxygen tank & the fact that it looked like a one-use thing. Which kinda bummed me out a bit, but did I mention this thing melted steel like butter? I can't wait to see more episodes of this show. More so, what do y'all think of this?

IBM's Trailer Shows My Next Must See With "Science & Star Wars"

September 15, 2017

The title says it all. I can't wait to see this. Starting next week IBM is sponsoring this mission to turn Star Wars science fiction into science. They're trying to make lightsabers, laserblasters, force powers, hell, they're even going to try to build a landspeeder. Finally, progress. One more step closer to me inevitably owning my own lightsaber one day. I'm thinking landspeeder as well now, but count me in for sure if they manage to whip up a speeder bike. What do y'all think? Are y'all in for this show as well? Put it in the comments, like, & share.

Rey Uses a Lightsaber in Last Jedi

March 29, 2017

"Comicbook" is in Nevada at Cinemacon this year reporting they have the Star Wars footage we're looking for. Not really though, saying the footage was super short. It featured Rey training with Luke's lightsaber. I'm honestly hoping someone screams spoiler 'bout this. Especially considering if you didn't think Rey was going to be training in the force, with Luke's lightsaber, I'd be forced to ask you if you had even seen "The Force Awakens". Dave Hollister, Disney exec, added a little info though saying, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" will pick up right with "The Force Awakens" left off." Also, adding, "Virtually all of our cast are back." There you go. Though, if you didn't know Rey was going to use lightsaber your insight does not serve you. What do you think is this significant? Or should they also release that Stormtroopers will be involved in this Star Wars this go around? Comment below, & don't forget to like & share.

Michelle Rejwan Now Senior VP Live Action Development And Production For Lucasfilm

Hollywood Reporter reports Michelle Rejwan is now the Senior VP of Live Action Development & Production. She will oversee new feature films as well Disney+ series while still producing with president Kathleen Kennedy. That seems like a hefty responsibility to drop on someone who's previous credits at Lucasfilm are producing The Force Awakens & The Rise of Skywalker. Kennedy really sees something in her though, having “seen first-hand her skills collaborating with writers and directors, and I've been incredibly impressed with her creative skills and her ability to manage the complexity surrounding these massive projects.” Can she be the Feige of Star Wars? Time will tell. After the hate Kennedy got from the last installment, which I loved by the way, one could think this is just to give her a scapegoat if things don't go as well over the next few projects. Curious to see how much influence this winds up having as a whole. What do y'all think? Trust in Kennedy? Or do you think maybe a more vetted choice would have been better?

Disney Reveals Name of Tokyo DisneySea's 8th Port

After breaking ground in what is to become Tokyo DisneySea's 8th port, we now have its official name. Fantasy Springs will be the title, but that's not all Dismey released on the subject. They also released some beautiful day & night concept art depicting the look of the new lands. Oriental land is investing 250 Billion Yen on this project that will feature lands themed to Frozen, Tangled, & Peter Pan. Frozen's land of post film Arendelle will feature an attraction that tells the story of Elsa and her beloved sister, Anna. Sounding like the familiar Epcot ride, suests will board boats and experience the sisters’ heartfelt journey, enjoying songs from the film, and encountering surprising thrills. There will also be a restaurant set inside the beautiful Arendelle Castle. Tangled's land will naturally feature Rapunzel’s tower rising above the forest. It will also include an boat attraction where guests will board gondolas for a romantic boat tour of Rapunzel’s “Best Day Ever” as she journeys with Flynn to the lantern festival. Flickering lanterns illuminate the attraction’s climactic scene while Rapunzel and Flynn sing an iconic song from the film. The pand will also feature a restaurant, inspired by the hideout of the band of thugs who appeared in the film in the "I've Got A Dream" sequence. Neverland will also be home to two attractions and a restaurant. Featuring landmarks including verdant mountains, Captain Hook’s pirate ship and Skull Rock. One attraction will fly over the jungles of Neverland into a battle with Captain Hook and his crew of pirates to rescue Wendy’s younger brother, John, who has been kidnapped by Captain Hook and his pirates. You'll board boats and follow the Lost Boys down a river until Tinker Bell sprinkles the boats with pixie dust, & you take off flying through Neverland on an adventure that featuring iconic music and dynamic 3D imagery of the characters from the film. The second attraction immerses us in the oversized world of Pixie Hollow, while the restaurant is inspired by the Lost Boys and their hideout. There will also be a new Disney Hllyel in the park. Themed to Disney fantasy, it will rise above and around the magical springs that serve as the core of the new themed port’s story. Offering 475 deluxe-type and luxury-type guest rooms, this park facing hotel will also feature a merchandise shop that helps share the story of the magical springs. One day I'll make it out here to see all the amazingly beautiful things TokyoSea has to offer. Luckily, I have one more reason to postpone that adventure until this amazing new addition is done.
