EXCLUSIVE: First Look Inside the New Star Wars Movie

EXCLUSIVE: First Look Inside the New Star Wars Movie

The Fluffington Post has obtained an exclusive casting photo from the new Star Wars movie, Episode VII, due in theaters next year. The photo depicts two of the main characters in the Star Wars universe, Yoda and Princess Leia.

“I think it’s a pretty startling image for purists,” said Entertainment Weekly associate film editor, Kathy Iazzetta. “Carrie Fisher looks totally different than she did in the 70s and 80s. Not bad, but I mean, I didn’t recognize her at first, so I’m not sure about continuity. And they’re doing Yoda with CGI now and you can tell it’s a really different aesthetic.”

Still, while some fans are nervous about the direction director J.J. Abrams – who is also helming the Star Trek franchise – might take the movie, most are excited to get a sneak peek.

“I really can’t wait,” said Star Wars super fan Dean Howarth. “I plan to get a place in line at my local cinema in July or August. It’s gonna be awesome.”

The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2015.
