Yeah, I was just reading that. Watch out for a Stormie in the background striking a bond pose with a hand blaster.

Oh heck yeah, plus 26 TV spots.

Feel bad for the role that ignited his career and made him the highest grossing male actor of the 1980s?
If it makes you feel any better, by the next picture Han was back to "I'll see you in Hell!" and "Never tell me the odds!"
The SW holiday special proves that Lucas was making stuff up as he went . . . all this "I had everything mapped out back in '74" is just so much self-mythologizing BS. He was riding a cash cow and he knew it:

is F4 a disaster? I seen quite a bit of negative talk about it in last few days.
It looks horrible. Like the first one.

No, I just feel bad that he had to do that show! I feel bad for all of those poor actors!
Sure, the role shot him to stardom and a very comfortable lifestyle, but damn, talk about paying your dues! As far as I'm concerned, he earned it all just for doing that holiday special!

Kasdan said that we haven't seen the end of Lando.

LANDO CALRISSIAN NOT FINISHED IN STAR WARS MOVIE UNIVERSE
So hints Lawrence Kasdan.
BY: STEVE WATTS
MAY 18, 2015The Star Wars movie universe hasn't seen the last of Lando Calrissian.
Lawrence Kasdan, screenwriter for both The Empire Strikes Back and The Force Awakens, hinted at a return for the smooth-talking gambler in an interview with Vanity Fair.
Though he's careful to point out that Lando isn't in Force Awakens, Kasdan does say we're bound to see more of him at some point in the future.
"Right now, there’s no Lando Calrissian in this movie," he said. "But Lando I don’t think is finished in any way, shape, or form."
Lando once had the distinction of being the only black character in Star Wars who didn't explode, and was last seen merrily clapping at an Ewok party. Most recently, actor Billy Dee Williams reprised his role for the character's voice in Star Wars Rebels.
It's good to know that Lando is still somewhere in the galaxy, kissing ladies' hands and losing ships in foolhardy gambling matches. With Anthology films on the way, starting with Rogue One, maybe we'll see more of him.

Who cares about Lando, will we see more Lobot??!!
Who cares about that, I want the back story on the female who played a male Bespin Guard with 'stache'
I wonder if they'd dare have Lando hitting on Rey?
You can expect anything from modern Disney...

Kennedy: Daisy trained with the swordfight choreographer of Game of Thrones.
Kotaku: She did a lot of training in swordfighting as well?
Kennedy: She learned the bōjutsu fighting style. Rey uses the staff she has in the trailer to fight. Daisy’s gotten to be so good at bōjutsu that even grown men on the set fear it. [Laughs]
Rey
Kotaku: The movie’s about half a year away. What are the fans going to do during the wait?
Kennedy: We’ll be unveiling the story in stages in the next six months or so. One way of spending time is visiting fan conventions, going to Star Wars exhibitions is another. We’re going to reveal new info step by step, but not necessarily on convention stage.
Kotaku: Ms. Daisy, did you get any advice from the cast that appeared in the previous movies?
Ridley: The cast members of Episode IV gave us great warm love and courage. They noted we were about as old as they were when they filmed A New Hope.
Table Read
Kotaku: Kathleen, did the various actors and crew members need a lot of convincing to sign up to work on/in the next Star Wars movie?
Kennedy: We weren’t hard to convince – they wanted to join! I got a lot of phone calls, so it was harder to find the people who were not able to participate.
Kotaku: In yesterday’s kick-off meeting, you joked that Jar-Jar does not come back. On that note, will Boba Fett come back? Also, is there a possibility of Ewok re-appearance?
Kennedy: Don’t worry: Boba Fett is a high priority among our list, please wait. But seeing how the Ewoks could return is a little harder to imagine. It is quite difficult to give the many stars of Star Wars their own stories on film.
Boba Fett Sarlaac
The interview also clarified that post-production is currently focused on implementing CGI work, and that John Williams has gotten started on scoring the film. This information strongly suggests that the second Star Wars Anthology film will be about Boba Fett – and again, it’s worth noting that Lucas Licensing’s Johnathan Rinzler said he did not die in the Sarlaac. It also appears that Rey will not initially use a lightsaber in the movie, and that the polearm she’s seen carrying in the trailer is her primary weapon.
Bōjutsu (棒術?), translated from Japanese as “staff technique”, is the martial art of using a staff weapon called bō which simply means “staff”. Some techniques involve slashing, swinging, and stabbing with the staff. Others involve using the staff as a vaulting pole or as a prop for hand-to-hand strikes. (via Wiki)
In the next video you can see a simple demonstration of bōjutsu:
As you probably remember during the Abu Dhabi shoot extras revealed that Daisy Ridley’s character is extremely gymnastic and some of her scenes were being doubled by a dancer called Hannah Collins. Also Daisy has a stunt double – Chloe Bruce. In the following video you can see a training video by Chloe. You can even see her bōjutsu skills (@ 1:35 min.):
We can’t wait to see Daisy Ridley and her bōjutsu in Star Wars: The Force Awakens!
UPDATE!
There is another interview with Ridley from another Japanese magazine. Our friend TOGO gave us a quick recap on the most interesting bits:
Daisy talks that she lifted a 70kg barbell for the preparing for the movie. Her father is dedicated Star Trek fan.
Reminded that love is prohibited by Jedi code, the interviewer asked Daisy which she would choose between love and work? She replied both, with smile.
She likes swimming very much, also she likes to play badminton, table tennis with her father.
Her first SW movie was Phantom Menace on VHS when she was 5 years old.
Her favorite character is Luke Skywalker.
