It’s been a busy two weeks, with the Oscars coming and going and rumours about Rogue One swirling. So let’s see what’s been happening:
- Tony Dyson, the creator of the beloved R2-D2, has died. (The Guardian)
- Rogue One previewed at Stakeholder’s Meeting (Slash Film)
- The Force Awakens will come to your house on the 18th of April! (Den of Geek)
- Mark Hamill is fine with you thinking Luke is gay (The Independent)
- Ep VIII is starting right where The Force Awakens ends! (SlashFilm)
- Guess who crashed the Oscars? (The Independent)
- Want to hear another crazy Rey theory? (Radio Times)
- Star Wars is taking over Disneyland and no one is complaining (Tech Times)
Here on Clone Corridor we had a closer look at one of the most iconic elements of Star Wars while earlier last week we weighed in on some of Abrams’ comments:
- Mothers and Star Wars – a Mother’s Day post
- Mystery Box: the Opening Line
- Corridor Chat: Gay Characters and Inclusivity in Star Wars Universe
And now that this post is back, we once again have some amazing fanart to share with you. This time we decided to break your heart a little bit and I’d apologize if my own wasn’t breaking as well. Please join me in sobbing over Stephanie’s drawing below:
As everyone who has seen The Force Awakens knows, Rey is good at waiting but also getting tired of it. I loved Stephanie’s approach to it because Rey is still struggling so much with her childhood and having been left on Jakku and this is a beautiful visualization of that! Find more of Stephanie’s art on Tumblr and Twitter.
