Ever since the release of Star Wars The Force Awakens, one of the characters that sparked the most interest and theories among the fans was Snoke, the supreme leader of the First Order. This mysterious and powerful figure will undoubtedly play an important role in the following episodes and his backstory is the one many are awaiting even more eagerly than the one about Rey or Finn. Luckily for us many are investing their time in finding out more about Snoke such as The Stupendous Wave which published a very interesting clip on their YouTube Channel with some information you are not likely to know after seeing TFA.

So, until we see the continuation of the story in Star Wars Episode VIII, here is what we know (or guess) currently about the new main character for the Dark Side.

Apparently, there is a very cool featurette about costume design in Star Wars The Force Awakens and it is available for those who buy the movie over iTunes. As published by StarWarsNewsNet the entire story on the design for Rey’s apparel is explained within.

Here is a short preview with some words from the costume designer Michael Kaplan:

Well, this was bound to happen – there is a news story out there about someone who actually read the script for Episode VIII and that person has come out with some interesting information about some of the plot details of the movie. The news was published by DigitalSpy quoting Reddit user LouEvilOne and we are hereby bringing you some of the more interesting leaked plot points. Needless to say, there are POTENTIAL SPOILERS for Episode VIII, and are also COMPLETELY UNCONFIRMED. So, here we go…

Exciting stuff ahead, photo Disney

Episode VIII will be called „Echoes of the Dark Side“ – we hope not, it doesn’t sound all that great.

Rey is NOT Luke Skywalker’s daughter, but actually Anakin Skywalker reincarnated

Benicio Del Toro is Lord Vikram, a dictator in charge of running the Republic

Lord Vikram and General Leia are in disagreement about going to war against the First Order

Leia Suspects Vikram is a spy for the First Order and throws him in jail, but it turns out the real culprit is Finn’s love interest – Chala

So… what do you think? Personally, it doesn’t sound all that believable, but who knows. If you are interested, entire list can be found on Reddit

Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, and John Boyega were seen on photos posted by Mirror spending time with royalty, and we don’t mean Princess Leia. Prince Harry and Prince William visited Pinewood studios and met with the actors as well as Chewbacca, bb8 and director of Star Wars Episode VIII, Rian Johnson. Photos are going viral as we speak (of course), and if you needed any more reason to be jealous of them, check out these photos of popular royals thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Finally, don’t miss this great little video of some of the props and animatronics used to give life to Star Wars creatures. Fascinating stuff!

As reported by the LA Times the construction is under way for the new Star Wars themed area of Disneyland. This huge project will be the biggest single themed addition to the park and will recreate an unknown planet from Star Wars universe. Below is an interactive 360° panoramic shot of the building site… with a bit of Star Wars magic thrown in for good measure. Exciting stuff from Disney, but when will it be open for visitors?

After Star Wars Episode VIII filming in Dubrovnik, we were left waiting to see when exactly production will move to a new location. As The Irish Mirror reports, there are serious rumours members of the crew have begun arriving to Malin Head in Ireland in preparation of filming which is due to commence at the beginning of May. These are still unconfirmed, but are obviously credible enough to be published.

The Irish Mirror also released this video showing how the locals are preparing for the arrival of their favourite movie stars. Madness is about to start in Ireland. We’ll be watching.

Personally, I enjoyed Star Wars The Force Awakens, but do think it come with its share of downsides. Of course, there are plenty of things every single fan would do differently or would like to see added to the film.

Cracked published a very interesting theory on their YouTube Channel posing a question about how much J.J. Abrams understands the franchise, seeing how he left so many things unanswered and left the audience guessing, perhaps a bit too much. Regardless of what you think about the theory, they do make some great points… as they usually do. Check it out.

Ever since there are Star Wars fans, there have been attempts on making lightsabers a reality. This iconic weapon made its way into our pop culture and has been there for decades. Many have tried to replicate them as a perfect collectible item, but as Verge.com report, one man has taken it a step further. Lightsaber creator Yoda has managed to produce probably the most authentic replicas to date. As seen on the video below, they are really something special.

More information, clips, and pictures can be found on the creator’s website. Meanwhile, my birthday is approaching, so… y’know, if anyone wants a friend for life.

As reported by MakingStarWars the preparations for filming of Star Wars Episode VIII are well under way in Ceann Sibeal in Ireland. It is clear by the beehive structures seen on the photo that the location is to replace Skellig Michael the production had to move away from. Also, seeing how the structures seem sturdy and there is serious building machinery in place, this location might be expecting seriously long filming with plenty of air time in the final film.
