We’re wrapping up our “Unanswered Questions” series this week by pondering the Big Six in The Force Awakens – Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Threepio, and Artoo. As far as the droids go, there’s been NOTHING about their presence rumored, spoiled, anything! And pretty much nothing about Leia, either. Only “maybe she’s married to Han, maybe she’s not,” and that’s about it. Luke, we kind of covered him in the Jedi episode on Wednesday…as for Han and Chewie, well, maybe they’re still in the cockpit of the Falcon, and maybe, if one rumor is true, they’re helming a Super Star Destroyer of all things. Crazy, right?
Star Wars Fun Fact
Surprising or little known Star Wars tidbits, sometimes related to today’s Force Feature.Did you know? On this date in 1987, the original Star Tours opened at Disneyland in California! The first Star Wars simulator ride, it featured both Anthony Daniels as C-3PO and Paul Reubens – aka Pee-Wee Herman – as RX-24 (“Rex”), taking space tourists on a leisurely trip to Endor. Or so it was supposed to be, but the incompetent Rex drops the ship into a comet field, a space battle, and an attack on a Death Star. It lasted for 13 years, until in 2010 it was closed and revamped with access to new worlds and new technology for Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. So now we get to look forward to 2025, when they ought to release the next updated version with the sequel movies included!
