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.

Dog Will Nap on Anything

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Tucker the golden retriever is a seemingly normal dog, he loves walks, scratches behind the ears and table scraps. Where he differs, however, is in his sleeping preferences. Tucker’s owner says the pup will conk out on virtually anything – and he’s got the pictures to prove it.

“I bought a doggy bed for him, like any good owner would,” says Josh McGill. “ He wasn’t having that at all. He just went for the nearest pair of shoes and passed right out. I was actually impressed.”

Tucker then began sleeping on any random object he could find, and he hasn’t stopped since.

“Last week I caught him napping on a stalk of celery,” says McGill. “I didn’t wonder why so much as how. He’s just a different kind of dog.”
