The announcement of Star Wars Land wasn’t the only big news to come out of D23 today.
- Con attendees were treated to a new Drew Struzan poster for The Force Awakens.
- J.J. Abrams, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, and Harrison Ford all made appearances at the live action films panel. Kathleen Kennedy was unable to attend as she was bringing her daughter to college. Awwwww.
- J.J. Abrams revealed the film’s current runtime is 124 minutes.
- Colin Trevorrow, of Jurassic World fame, was officially announced as director of Episode IX. The movie is set for release in 2019.
- Rogue One is currently filming principal photography.
- The standalone films will no longer have the “Anthology” subtitle, but rather “A Star Wars Story.”
- The cast includes: Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, and Riz Ahmed.
- And that Rogue One cast photo below? Yeah. That’s awesome.
The speculation begins in the comments section!
Screen Rant had an interesting exchange of speculative comments (here it is, verbatim):
Hot-D:
Am i the only one who think Felicity Jones is playing Leia???
Max:
Didn’t even cross my mind but now that I see the picture after reading your comment I do see it. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think it is her but I do get what you’re saying, or seeing.
Hot-D:
Maybe she goes undercover and join the rebel, and at the climax of the movie she is revealed to be Leia.
I hope this is true, this is the best way to introduce Leia before the events of OT, and this is also awesome because this makes Leia to be one of the rebels who stole the Death Star plan.
g:
see fellow readers – now here is someone who is thinking outside the box and quite creatively I might say – and if you end up being right – cudos to you !
