The big theater convention CinemaCon brought no new news forStar Wars Episode VII. However, there’s still news to be found. In this edition of Star Wars Bits, read about the following:
ForStar Warsfans, meeting any of the three original leads is a dream and this May, Luke Skywalker is going to Disney World.Mark Hamillwill appear at the fourth Disney’sStar Wars Weekend, June 6-8, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida.

It’s not a significant update but, at a recent convention. the team behindRobot Chickenandthe shelved comedy show,Star Wars Detours, suggested the series will be released at some point in the future. Maybe to Netflix? Thanks toJediNews.
A newStar Warsmobile game is now out,Star Wars: Assault Team, check out the trailer below.
May the 4th is quickly approaching and the minor league baseball team, the Durham Bulls, will celebrate by wearing these awesome R2-D2 jerseys, then auctioning them off for charity. Thanks toESPN.
Chewbacca actorPeter Mayhewposted this great tweet earlier this week. Does it refer to something Star Wars? Maybe, maybe not, but it’s interesting none the less.
One of my favorite mobile time wasters isStar Wars Pinballand four brand new maps are coming out very soon including everyone’s favorite scoundrel: Han Solo. Here’s a video. Head to thePlayStation Blogfor more.
Rumor has itJ.J. Abramsis heading to Iceland shoot some plates, i.e. master shots to be digitally inserted in the background later, forStar Wars Episode VII. Iceland has an incredibly varied amount of landscapes so people who automatically think that confirms they’re going back to Hoth are a little crazy. Is it possible? Yes. But I’d image, even if there is an ice planet in the film, they’d want to create another one. We’ll find out June 22, 2025.
