EW's week of Star Wars continues with a new focus on Carrie Fisher's Leia . Obviously one of the "legacy players" along with Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels , The Force Awakens reintroduces us to the storied Ms. Organa, with one major difference. She's now "referred to as General ", says director J.J. Abrams. Nobody calls her "Princess" anymore... with a single exception. We'll leave you to infer who that exception could possibly be. General Leia is, says Fisher, "Under a lot of pressure. Committed as ever to her cause, but I would imagine feeling somewhat defeated, tired, and pissed.” "The stakes are pretty high in the story for her," says Abrams, "so there’s not much goofing around where Leia’s concerned. But it felt historic to have her, especially with Harrison, back in scenes together. I can only imagine the baggage that they bring to it. I’m just a fan who loves this stuff, but they’ve been living

Here is Sphero’s remote control BB-8 droid . This is going to be the HOTTEST toy of the year. Sphero’s BB-8 isn’t a toy so much as it is a very simple robot performer with Pixar-esque aspirations. The $149.99 droid will go on sale starting this Friday at Apple’s retail stores, Best Buy, and Sphero’s own website (don’t worry, it’s Android compatible, too). The plaything, expected to be priced around $150, is among the litany of Star Wars: The Force Awakens products being revealed as part of the “Force Friday” merchandise announcement, which spans everything from LEGO kits to Hasbro action figures and even pet toys.

Disney's reboot will take over Imax’s large-format pioneer's screens for four weeks, knocking out all would-be competitors (Sorry, 'In the Heart of the Sea' and 'The Revenant'). For Star Wars: The Force Awakens , Imax is going big — really big. For the first four weeks of its run, set to begin Dec. 18, J.J. Abrams' sequel will have all of Imax's large-format screens in North America and most of its foreign screens to itself. Imax reserving all of its screens for a single movie for a month is not unprecedented, but it is unusual. The company had a similar deal for the three Hobbit movies, but it struck that pact four years ago and hasn't made that type of commitment since. In June, Imax broke its own opening-weekend record when Jurassic World leapfrogged over Iron Man 3's $28.8 million to grab $44.2 million worldwide — $21 million from 363 domestic screens and $23.2 million from 443 screens abroad. But Disney's Star Wars could topple tha

Spoiler.... You Have Been Warned. Read the details after the Jump... From the moment  Kylo Ren  first ignited his vicious-looking broadsaber in the first teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens , fans have speculated about the true nature of the character, this mysterious Knight Of Ren. Why is his lightsaber so ragged? Why is his title not 'Darth'? The answer to the latter, it turns out, is actually very simple, as some fans had already surmised. " Kylo Ren is not a Sith ," confirms JJ Abrams in the new issue of Empire. "He works under Supreme Leader Snoke, who is a powerful figure on the Dark Side of the Force.” Snoke, you will recall, is a performance-captured digital character played by Andy Serkis, who can be heard growling the voiceover on the first teaser. Aside from shedding a little light on Ren’s origins, Abrams gave some background on the state of the universe when The Force Awakens begins, including the origins of the First Order, who are n

Here are some new photos from the much anticipated Star Wars The Force Awakens  Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia, in this movie, will be in possession of Darth Vader’s original lightsaber See all the images after the Jump... In this same issue, there’s also an article detailing how J.J. Abrams eventually caved in and agreed to direct this epicness. “You rarely get a chance to be involved in something that you would typically be an audience for,”.. “Katie, my wife, said, ‘If you want to do this and you don’t, you’re going to regret this.’ It was really about being willing to take that leap, and jump into the possibilities of what these characters are doing, and where they are. ” J.J. Abrams also said that he’s thrilled to see what filmmaker Rian Johnson is developing so far for the next installment STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII, but don’t expect Abrams to return for the
