Star Wars fans out in 'force' for world premier

606x341_318937.jpg

LOS ANGELES: -- The countdown to the long awaited premier of the seventh Star Wars film has finally been completed. All sorts turned out for the red carpet event in Los Angeles from storm troopers to robots of every hue.

The film’s makers hope it’s set to break all box office records, with projections being cited in the range of 220 million dollars in the first weekend – and that’s only in the US and Canada.

Part of the buzz surrounding “ The Force Awakens” is that the new film brings back characters Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Hans Solo.

It means the cast has news faces along with some very familiar ones.

“I’m very excited about Star Wars again because we have the original cast back. We have Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels. It’s like the “Star Wars” we grew up with is now back and people are really excited about that,” said one fan.

The film’s plot may be a closely guarded secret but not for long with it on worldwide release in just a few days.

Saw last night. Pre-purchase if tickets. Very derivative but very cool as well.

I'll check it out soon...after the first wave of hysteria has subsided. Maybe next week.

Skipping this...wait for it to come out on DVD or streaming.

Will watch Rogue One when it hits theaters next year, though.

I'm sorry, call me a Geek, Nerd whatever, but I'm super excited. I go to watch movies in a theater maybe once in the decade, rest of the time I'm happy to wait and stream at home. This is my once in a decade moment.

Heading back to the States tomorrow for Christmas, both my daughters who it appears inherited their Dad's nerd gene are in, and we're ordering the popcorn!

Big mystery! It's the very same plot as the first Star Wars. The creative mind at work.

      Covid Cases Surge: Chula Expert Sounds Alarm on Rapid Spike

      Some say it's the people who are already jabbed with mRNA-spiked protein that are getting problems, not among the ones who didn't take the gene therapy mRNA, just the normal seasonal flu. After all, the mRNA Covid shot did contain the AIDs virus binders, so it has now compromised the immune systems, not to mention the surge in what they now call Turbo cancers. My son 47, died three weeks after the third jab from a heart attack and myocarditis.

      Jealous Husband Kills Wife and a Man in Love Triangle Horror

      Picture courtesy of Naewna. A horrifying double murder unfolded in Nan province on the infamous date of Friday the 13th, as a jealous husband gunned down his wife and another man in what police believe was a deadly love triangle. The suspect was later found sitting beside his wife’s body, reportedly intending to take his own life before being persuaded to surrender. The incident occurred in a forest plantation behind a village in Ping Luang subdistrict, Na Muen district, Nan Province. Police were alerted at approximately 12:45 by concerned villagers. Pol. Lt. Col. Jeera Sajja of Na Muen Police Station immediately notified Pol. Col. Thanapat Khrasing, the station superintendent and rushed to the scene with forensic officers, hospital staff and local rescue teams. At the scene, officers discovered the bodies of two victims. The first was Mr. Thuan, 55, from Ban Nam Khem, who had suffered multiple shotgun wounds to his back and was found face down in camouflage clothing. Approximately 20 metres away lay Mrs. Maneerat, 54, the wife of the alleged shooter, shot under the armpit. She was found lying on her back in the rubber plantation. A single-barrel shotgun with a partially obscured serial number was recovered, along with two spent shell casings. The weapon is believed to have been used in the killings. The alleged perpetrator, Mr. Wutthichai, 46, from Ban Nam Phae, was found clutching his wife’s body and holding the shotgun to his head, threatening suicide. Police negotiators spent over an hour talking him down before he finally surrendered without further incident. During initial questioning, Mr. Wutthichai confessed to travelling to the plantation armed with the shotgun. He had reportedly stopped to purchase beer in the village, then encountered his wife and Mr. Thuan together preparing to spray herbicide. Enraged by what he perceived as an affair, he opened fire, killing them both. Investigators believe the killings stemmed from jealousy and a suspected extramarital relationship. Mr. Wutthichai has been charged with two counts of murder and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition. Police are continuing their investigation into the exact circumstances surrounding the crime. Adapted by Asean Now from Naewna 2025-06-15
