In 112 days, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will debut in theaters nationwide and today we got a little glimpse with a 15-second clip that was released on the Star Wars Instagram. The footage released opens with a voice saying, "There has been an awakening."
Then you get the clip of Kylo Ren igniting his cross guard lightsaber that we saw in the first trailer. Now we know who he was getting ready to fight. In the very next clip we see Finn wielding a blue lightsaber of his own, believed to be Luke's lightsaber. Here is the clip that was released.
First Glimpse of the Battle of Jakku from Star Wars Battlefront:
We even got a first glimpse today of what's to come in the upcoming game Star Wars Battlefront as we see our first look of the Battle of Jakku. The Battle of Jakku takes place 29 years before The Force Awakens. Here is what it said in the release from EA:
"As debris from battles above shower the desert ground, the feeling of chaos intensifying. A Star Destroyer has just crash-landed and some of its engines are still smoking. The battle has just begun...."
The Battle of Jakku in Star Wars Battlefront will be available December 1, 2015 for all those who pre-order, and a week later for everyone else. It was the pivotal moment when the New Republic confronted key Imperial holdouts on the desert remote planet. Jakku takes place in the aftermath of the Rebel victory in the Battle of Endor. Players will experience the events that created the massive, battle-scarred landscape of Jakku as seen in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
DICE Concept Artist Anton Grandert said, "There's a David and Goliath theme to this. The epic, huge super structures of the Star Destroyers contrast against the tiny but brave Rebel soldiers fighting the Imperial forces."
Together with Jakku, players will visit other iconic Star Wars locations like Hoth, Tatooine, Endor, and a previously unexplored planet of Sullust will be a part of Star Wars Battlefront.
Resort Guests to Bypass Magic Kingdom Toll Plaza in the Future Among Other Changes:
Within the next five years, guests staying at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and Disney's Contemporary Resort will no longer have to stop at the Magic Kingdom Toll Plaza. A flyover (bypass) will be built to allow traffic to pass the Toll Plaza along with other major changes to the Magic Kingdom parking area and vehicle main entrance that will be accommodated by the removal of the former Walt Disney World Speedway.
This was revealed in an article by the Orlando Sentinel. Here are some of the other changes:
- A reconfiguration of Osceola Parkway at Victory Way, southeast of Disney’s Hollywood Studios and north of ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. A traditional intersection will be replaced with a flyover design similar to that at state roads 50 and 436 near Orlando. The flyover would take Osceola Parkway traffic over Victory Way.
- An extension of Western Way to Avalon Road, or County Road 545. Currently Western Way ends around the Flamingo Crossings development under construction.
- A Center Drive bypass to the west that will allow traffic heading south off Reams Road more direct access to Floridian Way.
This all ahead of major expansion of Hollywood Studios with Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land as well as the continuing construction of Pandora: The World of Avatar that will be taking place over the next few years.
