Until then, let’s take a look at the few leaks that are out there, stating that there will be  new force abilities  and a middle-aged Yoda.  The next move for the ‘Star Wars’ Universe will make it very similar to the Marvel Studios approach The future of  Star Wars  involves a massive publishing project announced at the 2019  Star Wars  Celebration in Chicago, called Project Luminous.

These Coca-Cola bottles use OLEDs to light up Rey and Kylo Ren’s lightsabers

#StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker #Coke #CocaCola #Lightsaber By Igor Bonifacicengadget.com With  Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker  coming out on December 20th, you're bound to see a lot of products that tie into the upcoming movie, but few will probably be as unique as these Coca-Cola bottles. They feature main characters Rey and Kylo Ren, with lightsabers that light up anytime you touch the labels. If you're wondering what kind of space magic allows a bottle to light up, the answer is organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). Yes, the same technology that likely powers the display on your phone or high-end TV -- and  inspired Engadget's favorite K-pop song  -- is at work here to allow Rey and Kylo Ren's lightsabers to come alive. The tech was created by a Berlin-based startup called  Inuru . Each bottle includes one of the company's smart labels. The labels feature a built-in printed battery and the diodes needed to illuminate something. By touch...

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Was A Disaster Before George Lucas Fixed It

#StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker #Disney #GeorgeLucas  New rumors flooding the internet suggest that early test screenings for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker were disastrous and Lucasfilm had to bring in George Lucas to help fix the movie. The last entry in the Skywalker Saga not only promises to wrap up the Sequel Trilogy, but also bring the ancient conflict between the Jedi and the Sith to its definitive end. One would assume that’s a lot of threads to weave together in a single movie, and they’d be right. It would seem that fans have been worried for all the right reasons, as a new rumor claims that early test screenings were so disastrous that Disney CEO Bob Iger promptly asked director J.J. Abrams to redo much of the film and even asked George Lucas to come in and make some changes. Of course, we’ll file this one strictly in the rumor cabinet for now since it comes from a YouTuber with a questionable track record, but according to them, the test screenings were made up...

Coca-Cola is bringing back New Coke in honor of 'Stranger Things'

#CocaCola #NewCoke #StrangersThings #Disney #GalaxysEdge #StarWars,  Coca-Cola is hoping a failed product from the 1980s will help it go viral in 2019. The company is bringing back a limited number of New Coke cans in honor of the upcoming third season of "Stranger Things," in which the product is featured. "Stranger Things" creators Ross and Matt Duffers came up with the idea to bring New Coke back as a way to promote the show, which will start streaming on Netflix (NFLX)on July 4. The third season of the show takes place during the summer of 1985 — when Coca-Cola (KO) debuted a new recipe for its iconic beverage. So-called New Coke was a flop: Consumers reacted so poorly to the new drink that Coca-Cola pulled it from shelves after a few months. Bringing New Coke back is a way for Coca-Cola to "not take ourselves too seriously," Stuart Kronauge, president of Coke's sparkling business unit and senior vice president of marketing for Coca-Col...

Leia Will Complete Rey's Training in Episode IX (But Not How You Think)

It's just under a year to go until the release of the ninth entry in the Star Wars saga and the concluding chapter of the sequel trilogy. But even as that Christmas 2019 release date creeps closer, aside from rumors of a time skip between Episode VIII and IX, we're still none the wiser when it comes to even the smallest plot details, or even what the film's title is. We can, however, make some educated guesses by piecing together the scraps of information mercifully thrown our way so far. Amid speculation about what director J.J. Abrams has in store for newcomers Rey, Finn, Poe and the self-appointed Supreme Leader of the First Order, Kylo Ren, the role of the last surviving "legacy player" has also been subject to fervent discussion. In the wake of Carrie Fisher's sudden passing at the end of 2016, The Last Jedi was expected to bid a fond farewell to the princess-turned-general. And yet, Leia made a miraculous Force-powered leap from the jaws of certai...

Will Star Wars IX Get A Trailer & Title during The Super Bowl?

#StarWars #Superbowl The Super Bowl always sees several high-profile movies debut new footage, but will Star Wars: Episode IX be one of them this year? The highly-anticipated conclusion to the Skywalker saga is winding down production, with principal photography expected to wrap at some point in February . In typical Lucasfilm fashion, several details about the film (including the official title) are being kept under wraps, though it's only a matter of time before viewers learn about these key aspects. Star Wars Celebration takes place in April , where Episode IX will almost assuredly be a centerpiece (i.e. a panel with a trailer). But fans of the galaxy far, far away are an impatient bunch and would rather find things out sooner than later. The Super Bowl is essentially a national holiday and provides movie studios with an ideal platform to generate buzz for their upcoming projects, so there's hope Star Wars 9 will be one of the many films that unveil a TV spot - pe...

STAR WARS 9 leaks the opening act of Episode IX , new photographs of Finn, Poe and Chewbacca filming in the UK.

The Last Jedi left our heroes at their lowest point ever. Luke is gone, the galaxy has easily fallen into Kylo Ren's hands and the resistance has been reduced to a rag-tag group on one ancient ship. What now? The movie is widely expected to start after a time jump of a few years. Finn's long hair has been taken as confirmation of this. The new leak claims: "Leia is sending out many people to different star systems to recruit people and rebuild the resistance. This is said to use footage of her from The Last Jedi. There were scenes shot by Rian Johnson showing Leia talking about her allies in the Outer Rim." This and more tie in with the latest pictures.
