It’s already rock the hearts of fans of Star Wars : the last robot of the saga created by George Lucas, is the star of the 17th edition of the festival ” Generation Star Wars “this weekend in this small French town of Allier.
What connection is there between the saga Star Wars and Cusset? A priori no. Yet the ways of the Force being impenetrable, a link has been woven, a “galaxy far, far away” to a small town nestled in the Allier.
Indeed, a replica of This little droid in the next film The Force Wake (exit 18 December) is exposed during the festival “Generation Star Wars” held this weekend at the Espace Chambon Cusset. This 17th edition of the gathering of fans of the saga will be also an opportunity to discover exclusive coverage of a new comic dedicated to the first episode of the series, The Phantom Menace .
Among the many conferences organized, a course will be on the next episode, directed by Disney – which acquired the production company Lucasfilm – and that already puts fans around the world in turmoil. “The episode 7 will of course be at the center of our discussions. We contacted a couple of fans who manufactures scale droids 1 and has already achieved a BB8 model, presented mid-April to the Convention Star Wars in Anaheim, California, “explains Philippe Grenier , member of the organization Heirs of the Force, which organizes the event.
More than 5,000 people, lightsaber in hand and disguised as intergalactic characters, are expected this weekend in during a rare free access to meetings dedicated to the saga and science fiction films and series in France. “This year, for the first time, we will sell items validated by Disney and Lucasfilm, a token of recognition. A Panini comics Star Wars 1 due out Monday with 14 different covers, and a fifteenth exclusive will be sold to 1,000 copies. For us it is the icing on the cake, “said Mr. Grenier.
Tim Rose actors (Admiral Ackbar in episode 6), Mike Carter (Bib Fortuna in episode 6) and Alan Ruscoe (Plo Koon in episode 1) will also be present at the festival, which annually brings together former interpreters characters in the saga. “We are already in contact with actors who will be in episode 7, for next year, but for now even they can reveal which characters they play,” said Philippe Grenier.
