It’s that time of the year again where we celebrate all things Star Wars and a galaxy far, far away! May The 4th is always honored as “Star Wars Day” in the world, and to celebrate it here’s a throwback to 2018 when “Solo: A Star Wars Story” was released and a couple of cosplay friends and I suited up aboard a pretty good set of the Millennium Falcon!
May The 4th Be With You wherever you are always, and Happy Star Wars day!✨

A Tribute To Carrie Fisher
Star Wars Celebration Orlando is currently ongoing. Catch it at Star Wars.com and YouTube!
The world mourns the loss of one of sci-fi and pop culture fandom's most recognizable talents, as actress and writer Carrie Fisher - better known as Princess Leia Organa from the original Star Wars Trilogy - passed away at the age of 60 after complications from suffering a heart attack. A lot of news outlets, including The Guardian, have reported the news... And co-stars and fellow actors likeMark "Luke Skywalker" Hamill and the official Star Wars FB page, have expressed their sadness and tribute for the passing of a true royal icon of cinematic history.
Fisher reprised her role as Leia for 2015's "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens". A young CGI version of her character appeared in this year's "Rogue One", which connects to her first appearance of the character in 1977's original "Star Wars" film. Before she passed, Carrie was able to complete her scenes for Episode VIII - marking the true final appearance of the actress in the role that helped define her star in Hollywood history.
In honor of the Princess, I made a personal tribute from a cosplay my friends and I did last year during a special The Force Awakens screening
R.I.P Carrie Fisher. You gave us hope and continue to be a guiding presence now that you are part of The Force now.
Not wasting any time in promoting the long awaited new chapter in a saga that happens in a galaxy far, far away, Disney and LucasFilm have released the brand new poster to "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" - which pretty much features every prominent cast member from the new film set 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi - with the poster featuring old Rebel Alliance heroes such as Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Chewbacca, as well as the newbies in Rey, Finn, and the new red lightsaber wielding character Kylo Ren. Missing in the poster is Luke Sywalker... But that is possibly an intentional thing to draw mystery... And the looming presence of a new weapon that "surpasses" the Death Star is in the background as well.
EDIT: Designed by Star Wars fan and Anakin Skywalker cosplayer Bryan Morton (which LOOKED like a Drew Struzan work), this new theatrical poster is the second one released, and coincides with the coming of a brand new trailer that hits with ESPN Monday Night Football. For now, a teaser has been released, found and featured thanks to Comic Book.com.

Since the BIG acquisition news of LucasFilm Ltd. by Disney for $4.05 Billion Dollars, the very next project and priority for the new merger is the next trilogy of Star Wars films. Confirmed for release on 2015, "Episode VII" already has a screenwriter on board in the form of Michael Arndt, who's credentials include Toy Story 3 and the next installment of The Hunger Games film series, Catching Fire. What was also rumored was that three of the key characters involved with the original Star Wars trilogy (Episode IV, V, and VI) were in talks to appear in the new "Disney era" film series, namely Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, and Han Solo. News from ENewsi and the Hollywood Reporter confirms that 2/3 of that trio will return.
