DISNEY’S OFFICIAL FAN CLUB CELEBRATES THE EPIC
SAGA.
BURBANK, Calif. – NOVEMBER 02, 2015 – To celebrate the release of
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Disney twenty-three unlocks the power of the force to give fans a look behind the making of the newest installment in the
Star Wars saga. The issue opens with “guest editor” C-3PO admitting he is unfamiliar with
D23: The Official Disney Fan Club
(“…although I am very familiar with the R2 series of droid, I am less
familiar with the D23 line. Would it be R2-D23?”) and continues with
candid interviews with the original
Star Wars leads—Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison
Ford—looking back (and ahead) at the ongoing strength of these
out-of-this-world films.
Director J.J. Abrams—whose long-standing history with Disney goes back to the TV show
Felicity—sits down for a revealing Q&A, and Lucasfilm
president Kathleen Kennedy talks about inheriting one of the most
beloved franchises of all time. Plus, Imagineer Scott Trowbridge gives
fans a peek at what’s in store for guests at the parks, following
Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger’s announcement at D23 EXPO 2015 of Star Wars-themed lands coming to Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
And the
Star Wars adventures continue. Also included in the publication, available exclusively to
D23 Gold Members:
