Ever since I heard Maz Kanata’s line at the end of the new The Force Awakens trailer, I couldn’t get it out of my head: “Just let it in.” Part of it stuck with me because it promised hope for whomever the character was talking to (likely Rey), while the other because it sounded so suspiciously close to “Let it Go,” the hit song from Disney’s Frozen. Once I made the subconscious connection between the two, I was unable to shake the thought of “Let it In” and “Let It Go” being so similar. It got to the point where I was hearing “Let It In” replacing the words “Let It Go” in Idina Menzel’s song and that’s when it hit me: the only way to get the two unconnected in my head was to go all out and completely redo Elsa’s showstopping number “Let It Go” to become Rey’s breakout hit, “Let It In.” Maybe not the best idea, but below are the results.

The Force Awakens Theatrical Trailer, Poster Revealed, Tickets now Live! (UPDATED)
Above, witness the glory that is the theatrical (and likely last) trailer for The Force Awakens. If you were too busy watching that, you probably didn’t score your tickets, which went live earlier than promised and starting selling out like Death Star parts at the junk shop. My stunned thoughts on the trailer (and the theatrical poster that was revealed Sunday) below. And now after a day to soak it all in, I’ve included some of my extended thoughts, news about TFA breaking tickets records, and other reactions from around the web!

The Force Awakens Soundtrack Pre-Order, C-3PO’s Red Arm Gets Comics Backstory
While we’re all out buying merchandise like there are holes in our wallets (it certainly felt like there was one in mine afterwards), the Star Wars official site has been busy announcing both The Force Awakens soundtrack and Marvel’s C-3PO centric one-shot comic. Continue reading “The Force Awakens Soundtrack Pre-Order, C-3PO’s Red Arm Gets Comics Backstory”
Brief New The Force Awakens Footage Shown
Why Kylo Ren is igniting his lightsaber, shown during the first teaser, in a snowy, wooded area gets answered in brand-new footage from The Force Awakens released on Star Wars’ official Instagram account. It seems Finn, first teased to be holding a lightsaber in D23’s exclusive poster, is there to face the masked menace. The look on Finn’s face, determination and some slight fear is a pretty chilling and thrilling image. There’s also a new shot of Rey and BB-8 looking up in awe at…something. The teaser is below: Continue reading “Brief New The Force Awakens Footage Shown”
Global The Force Awakens Toy Unboxing Live on YouTube Next Week
Well this is certainly an interesting idea: around the globe in different countries and their various cities, the upcoming The Force Awakens toy line to be released on Force Friday will be unboxed live on YouTube (using Disney’s recent acquisition of Maker Studios to their advantage), hosted by various YouTube personalities. It all culminates in the midnight merchandising bonanza that will be Force Friday. So far there’s been no official reveal of what you’ll be emptying your wallets for (and more importantly how much) in the wee hours of the morning next week Friday, nor no official reveal of what stores will be doing for the promotion, but with this announcement going live it’s not hard to imagine we’ll know something officially soon.

D23 Expo: Rogue One Cast Revealed, Ep. IX Director, Star Wars Land News
After all the build up for The Force Awakens this week thanks to Entertainment Weekly, it wasn’t crazy to wonder just what else Lucasfilm could bring for their portion of the live-action panel at the D23 Expo this morning. They delivered on a scale most didn’t expect, as they announced the Rogue One cast (and stealthily rebranded the Anthology films into A Star Wars Story), a director for Episode IX was revealed, and dropped the bomb that TWO 14 ACRES Star Wars Lands are being planned. I’ll let that last part settle in and when you’re done hyperventilating, continue reading below for the details. Continue reading “D23 Expo: Rogue One Cast Revealed, Ep.

SDCC 2015: The Force Awakens Panel, BTS Video, General Hux, and More!
No, those weren’t tears in my eyes from watching the above behind-the-scenes video. Definitely not tears. I think it’s raining in my basement. Look, you watch that and try not to get a little teary-eyed, alright? Star Wars came to San Diego Comic Con for the first time to take a look at The Force Awakens, and while it covered some things we heard at April’s SWCA, it blew the roof off of Hall H and excauated everyone to a secret Star Wars concert. Technically it didn’t happen that way, but it sure felt like it and there was totally a concert they took everyone to! Details on what we all learned below. Continue reading “SDCC 2015: The Force Awakens Panel, BTS Video, General Hux, and More!”
