Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope

Patience is a trait — though one that “Star Wars” fans won’t have to exercise.

Disney and LucasFilm announced currently during CinemaCon in Las Vegas that they will recover a new “Star Wars” film each year starting in 2015.

That summer, a J.J. Abrams-directed “Star Wars: Episode VII” will flog off a new trilogy, featuring strange stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and (most likely) Harrison Ford. From afterwards on, a trilogy episodes will swap with standalone movies, rumored to concentration on characters like Yoda, Boba Fett, and a immature Han Solo.

It’s positively a extensive change from a 16 years fans had to wait between “Return of a Jedi” and “Phantom Menace,” or even a 10-year disproportion between 2005’s “Revenge of a Sith” and “Episode VII.” Disney has incited adult a dial on a “Star Wars” star given it bought Lucasfilm from George Lucas final fall.

Details about possibly a new trilogy or a standalones are few and precious. With a strange stars substantially returning, it seems expected that a new episodes will revolve around a children of Luke, Leia, and Han.

• 10. Being Caught in Nets

  strongLUCAS:/strong Leia, Han and C3P0 get held in a net in a forests of Endor (“Return of a Jedi”)
  strongABRAMS:/strong Jack (Matthew Fox) and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) get held in a net in a jungle (“Lost,” “S.O.S”)

  It seems that a inhabitants of any densely wooded area — either they be machiavellian Ewoks or insane Frenchwomen — adore to set net traps. In “Jedi,” it leads to a explanation that a Ewoks ceremony glossy C3P0 as a god. In “Lost,” it led to a voluptuous “Jate” impulse (Jack and Kate, played by Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lily).

• 9. The Chokehold

  strongLUCAS:/strong Leia chokes Jabba a Hutt (“Jedi”)
  strongABRAMS:/strong Sawyer (Josh Holloway) chokes a genuine Mr. Sawyer to genocide (“Lost,” “The Brig”)

  “The Real Mr. Sawyer” (Kevin Tighe) busted a lot of lives on “Lost,” so he some-more than deserved it when Sawyer (Josh Halloway) a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emMq_r1BrGE”choked him to death/a with a length of sequence as payback for a genocide of his parents. It played out really many like a stage where Leia a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x1toKHOqMg”secured her leisure from a unpleasant Jabba a Hutt/a.

• 8. Shooting First

  strongLUCAS:/strong a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu-TZpGdszA” Han shoots first/a (“Star Wars”)
  strongABRAMS:/strong Sawyer shoots first. And often. (“Lost,” “Pilot,” “Outlaws,” and “Through a Looking Glass”)

  Sawyer — a surly, only-in-it-for-himself rapist who eventually valid to have a heart of bullion and a soothing symbol for a certain brunette — was clearly molded after Han Solo. And usually like Han, Sawyer favourite to get off a initial shot. Like when hea href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjJOIHb4vx” shot a frigid bear/a, a immorality “Other” Tom or (in a part “Outlaws”) a male he suspicion was a criminal male who’d busted his life.

• 7. Discovering Dead Family Members

  strongLUCAS:/strong Luke finds a bodies of his aunt and uncle (“Star Wars”)
  strongABRAMS:/strong Sydney (Jennifer Garner) finds a physique of her fiancé, Danny (“Alias,” “Truth be Told”)

  Who can forget that impulse in “Star Wars” when Luke earnings home to learn his aunt and uncle have been rigourously butchered? Not Abrams. Compare the
  scene in a commander of “Alias” when Sydney finds her fiancé passed in a bathtub after carrying told him a law about her work as a spy. As with Luke, Sydney’s journey
  had usually begun — and it was fueled by a need for revenge.
  (The impulse in “Alias” happens during a nine-minute mark.)

• 6. Learning About Long-Lost Family Members

  strongLUCAS:/strong Luke learns a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3GaRN3SA4E”there is another Skywalker/a (“Jedi”)
  strongABRAMS:/strong Jack finds out Claire (Emilie de Ravin) is his half-sister (“Lost,” “There’s No Place Like Home, Part 1”)

  So Jack’s father was a philandering dipsomaniac and Luke’s was a Jedi who’d incited to a dim side. Both of their sons were dumbfounded to learn they had a sister, someone they already knew really well! In Jack’s case, Claire was his half-sister and no, he never attempted to lick her. (Although some “Lost” fanfic writers were substantially dissapoint to learn a dual were related.) On “Alias,” Sydney also schooled that she had a half-sister she hadn’t famous about (Nadia, played by Mia Maestro), suggested in a fourth season.

  strongLUCAS:/strong Leia realizes she “always knew” a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9JiGljx3Ec”Luke was her brother/a (“Jedi”)
  strongABRAMS:/strong Claire knows Jack is her hermit (“Lost,” “The Last Recruit”).

  It took a lot longer on “Lost” (two whole seasons) before Claire suggested that she knew Jack was her brother. Like Leia — who figured it out in a same film as Luke — we certain always knew “somehow.”

• 4. Tearful Goodbyes

  strongLUCAS:/strong Han kisses Leia goodbye, afterwards a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO-KR-14uXM”is solidified in carbonite/a (“The Empire Strikes Back”)
  strongABRAMS:/strong Sawyer and Kate have a weeping goodbye as he faces certain genocide (“Lost,” “I Do”)

  Kate doesn’t contend “I adore you” and Sawyer doesn’t contend “I know,” though a heartwrenching impulse where Sawyer is led divided to be shot is strikingly identical to a CO frozen stage in “Empire.” And if we wanted an epic goodbye kiss, Sawyer a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_Jgx1RTh30″gave Kate one in a “There’s No Place Like Home” episode/a, before he jumped out of a helicopter to save her and several others.

  strongABRAMS:/strong The characters on “Lost” are guided by a puzzling Jacob

  “Lost”‘s mumbo-jumbo truth — we’re still not certain we entirely know it — concerned a murky figure named Jacob (Mark Pellegrino), who was means to seem and beam people even after his death.

  strongLUCAS:/strong Luke won’t accept that Darth Vader is his genuine father (“Empire”)
  strongABRAMS:/strong Peter learns Walter is a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u7BrdtNJOI”not his genuine father/a (“Fringe,” “The Man From a Other Side)”

  “Fringe” fans found out before Peter (Joshua Jackson) did that Walter (John Noble) had kidnapped him from an swap star as a child after his possess son (Peter’s double) had died, so it didn’t come as a finish startle that Darth Vader’s “Luke, we am your father” did. It was usually one of a biggest film reveals of all time, so Luke’s, “Nooo!” was understandable. Peter had a many some-more subdued, though equally horrified, reaction, one that had him rejecting a male perplexing to be his father. (On “Alias,” Sydney was also frightened to learn that her mother, whom she’d prolonged suspicion dead, was alive, and so immorality that she’d fire her possess daughter.)

• 1. Self-Sacrifice

  strongLUCAS:/strong Obi-Wan Kenobi sacrifices himself to be one with The Force (“Star Wars”)
  strongABRAMS:/strong Walter sacrifices himself to save everybody in a universe (“Fringe,” “An Enemy of Fate”)

  Is it a fluke that 3 of J. J. Abrams’s array finish with categorical characters sacrificing themselves to save others, many as Obi-Wan authorised himself to be slain by Darth Vader in one of a many noted moments in “Star Wars?” In “Lost,” Jack gave his life to save a island and everybody on it, on “Alias,” Jack Bristow (Victor Garber) didn’t demur to blow adult his mortal rivalry along with himself and on a just-concluded “Fringe,” Walter frankly went with an Observer to save a whole world.
