Star Wars: The Last Jedi director on Kylo Ren Changes

Coming off a jarring number of loving and adoring fans at Star Wars Celebration, The Last Jedi director has found himself having to defend himself for what he thought was a minor alteration.


In the week since The Last Jedi’s trailer made its debut at Celebration, Star Wars devotees have torn it apart frame-by-frame to see if there are any clues hidden within. One of the lesser important details fans managed to dig up was the realization that the scar Kylo Ren sports on his face from his battle with Rey in The Force Awakens has been slightly moved.
As seen in the images being compared below, Kylo Ren’s scar has definitely moved. The former version was a little higher up on the left side of Kylo Ren’s face, while the new version is slightly lower and to the right.

Why is this a big deal? The short and easy answer is that a large faction of Star Wars fans are also dedicated cosplayers. In order for the continuity to make sense, the scar needs to be in the exact same place. Otherwise, some will be cosplaying as Kylo Ren from The Force Awakens while others may be cosplaying the version from from The Last Jedi.
Although it’s not immediately noticeable, Star Wars fans did pick up on it. Almost immediately after, a number of fans began tweeting at director Rian Johnson with questions over whether or not the move has a significant reason in the film, and if not, why did he make the decision to do so in the first place? In the midst of all the drama, there were a couple of Star Wars fans who managed to find the humor in the absurdity of it all.

Vin Diesel Now Worth $6 Billion In 2017

Image source: Indian Express Vin Diesel is one of the most successful performers in the world, coming in at #7 last year on Forbes' list of 2016's highest-paid actors. His huge paydays are a result of box office performance few other stars can even dream of approaching -- with this year's Fate of the Furious, Diesel's films will have amassed more than $6 billion over the past decade (2008 through 2017). And when Guardians of the Galaxy takes over the box office in May, the actor's tally will approach or surpass $7 billion by year's end. This puts Vin Diesel in an elite grouping of megastars with a decade of movies totaling in the $5+ billion range. The performer with what seems to be the largest total global box office for the past 10 years is Scarlett Johansson, who has a staggering $8.3 billion. In second place comes Robert Downey Jr. with an $8.1 billion cume that will climb toward $9 billion once Spider-Man: Homecoming swings into theaters this July.

British actors still dominating the Film scene

Here at Equitable Stewardship for Artists, we see how the British acting scene is in charge of the important roles in film and entertainment. Actors and directors from affluent backgrounds continue to dominate the theater industry, despite efforts to increase the number of working class and ethnic minority performers, a report warns. The House of Lords Communications committee says even more needs to be done to attract a broader range of talent reflecting the reality of contemporary British society. Its report, published on Wednesday, finds that actors educated at private schools, along with those backed by families affluent enough to help them financially, are still "disproportionately represented" in the entertainment industry. Lord Best, the committee’s chairman, said: "We were told that, despite efforts by the theatres, those able to benefit from private education and financial support from parents are disproportionately represented in this industry.”

In a recent interview Michael McElhatton said, “There’s probably going to be a lot more humor in it, I think would probably be the main difference compared to the previous one.” McElhatton talked about the “big” opening scene that he filmed “was pretty dark, actually, in its tone.” He added: ”But in a good way. I quite like that, and it wasn’t comic book-y. But I think you can thread a certain amount of humor through it, which maybe the previous one was lacking.” New Justice League 2017 Film The upcoming American superhero film based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name, is distributed by Warner Bros.
