  • Star Wars is Coming to London

    888800XL_3

    The new “Star Wars” will begin shooting in a time not long from now in a galaxy not very far away.

    The J.J. Abrams reboot of the classic space-opera franchise will begin production in London in May, Disney said via the official Star Wars site. The events in the film will continue from approximately 30 years after the last chronological film, “The Return of the Jedi,” which came out three decades ago.

    The production has been looking for up-and-coming actors to take the mantle from Luke Skywalker and Han Solo even as the new film is rumoured to include those familiar faces — namely, Mark Hamill as Luke, Harrison Ford as Han and Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. George Lucas has said that producers were in negotiations with all three some time ago. It has also been reported that R2D2 will be returning to the series.

    A host of actors have read for a variety of the new parts, with Adam Driver, Jesse Plemons, Lupita Nyong’o and Michael B. Jordan among the actors who have reportedly been considered by filmmakers.

    The movie is the first of a trilogy that Disney has been planning since it acquired Lucasfilm. "Star Wars: Episode VII" will hit theatres Dec. 18, 2015.

  • 5 great Star Wars fancy dress costumes

    The first Star Wars film was released in 1977. Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Alec Guinness, Carrie Fisher and James Earl Jones, the subsequent films which were released after Episode IV: A New Hope continues to inspire fancy dress costumes. As further sequels are due for release from 2015 onwards, there will be many more inspirations. When looking for fancy dress costume ideas that have a Star Wars edge, here are five of the best:

    Darth Vader

    One of the scariest movie characters of all time, Darth Vader not only looks menacing but his voice is perfect for his costume. As soon as someone wears a Darth Vader costume, there will be no mistaking who they are. A fancy dress retailer might have this particular costume in a variety of sizes. So, a father and their son or daughter could go to a party dressed as Darth Vader.

    Luke Skywalker

    Luke Skywalker appeared in the original Star Wars trilogy. With his blonde hair and gun, a fancy dress retailer might have many types of costumes that are associated with this character. In Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker wears a black jedi costume because he turns to the dark side of the Force – a fancy dress retailer can also have this particular costume in their catalogue.

    Princess Leia

    As with Luke Skywalker, there are many costumes which Princess Leia wears. Along with a white dress, Princess Leia also dons a gold bikini when she is enslaved by Jabba the Hutt. Either of these fancy dress costume ideas is perfect for a woman. A stag do could have a Star Wars theme where a groom-to-be has to choose a Princess Leia costume.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    One of only a handful of characters that appeared in all Star Wars films, Obi-Wan Kenobi was played by Alec Guinness in the original trilogy and then by Ewan McGregor in the latest trilogy. With his long brown cloak and beard, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a wise Jedi. A fancy dress retailer might include a lightsaber and a brown cloak for their costumes.

    Yoda

    The wisest Jedi of all time, Yoda is one of the most well-loved Star Wars fancy dress characters of the entire saga. The way Yoda speaks is something which people can have a lot of fun replicating at a fancy dress party. To look like Yoda, buy many tubes of green body and face paint and apply liberally. Just like with Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi, an entire Yoda costume might be purchasable. Although it might not be provided, a lightsaber could be included as an accessory along with the other parts to a Yoda costume, such as a white cloak. To complete this popular Star Wars costume, buy a bald cap or green ears. By choosing a fancy dress retailer that has all of the accessories which are required to recreate a Yoda costume, no other expense accrues. Therefore, the cost of purchasing a Yoda costume is all that’s required and not a penny more.
