For every public post, like, or share on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter that includes #RoarForChange between May 3 – 25, 2018, Star Wars: Force for Change U.S. will donate $1 to UNICEF USA, up to $1 million. This is one of Lucasfilm’s many campaigns in their partnership with UNICEF.

Those attending Disneyland’s special event, Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite on May 3rd will also be invited to roar during the event. Additionally, the Disney Store will be offering 10 percent off their Star Wars purchases when they roar and post in store locations nationwide from May 4th-6th. To help kick off the event, Chewbacca will be joining fans in San Francisco’s Disney Store, roaring and taking part in the fun.

Founded during the production of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, Force for Change has been a staple of the Star Wars community and has made a large impact since its creation. Their official site states that their “goal is to harness the strength of Star Wars and its global fandom to empower people to come together to make a positive impact on the world around them. We want to inspire people to be “forces for change” in their everyday lives.”

Star Wars Meets Arrested Development in New Ron Howard Spoof

With the countdown to Solo: A Star Wars Story in the final weeks, the film’s director, Ron Howard, has provided his signature Arrested Development twist on our favorite galaxy far, far away. Featured on the weekly web series, The Star Wars Show, Howard narrates a would be episode of Arrested Development with the plot of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Check out the hilarious feature below!

The parody wasn’t the only thing Howard revealed this week, as he also had a nice sit down on the web show, going over the latest from Solo and the world of Star Wars.

If that isn’t enough for you, there was plenty of Solo news to go around this week, including new TV spots and a featurette that follows the first steps Han Solo must go through to become the scruffy looking Nerf herder we all know.  Check out some never before seen footage of Solo with insight from Ron Howard, screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, and film stars Alden Ehrenreich, Donald Glover and Emilia Clarke below!

Solo: A Star Wars Story comes out on May 25th!

 

 

 

Ant Man and The Wasp MCU Timeline Revealed

After an record breaking weekend and dominating box office run with Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel Studios has revealed more details about their next release, Ant Man and The Wasp, opening the door to what’s next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though the teaser and official trailer have debuted, let’s take a look back to get some clues as to what we can expect from Marvel’s upcoming sequel.

Though not directly referenced by the cast of the MCU, the hint leaves the door open that Ant Man and The Wasp takes place around the same time as Infinity War. Tasked with a new and urgent mission, Scott must balance his life of smaller than life heroism with his expectations as a father. That mission, along with Scott’s agreement after the events of Captain America: Civil War, keeps him out of the epic battle against Thanos, but may create more questions as to how the ending of the film will tie into the battle for the universe in Infinity War.

More clues may surface, so we look forward to what’s next! Marvel has also released a new poster, which can be viewed below, that brings Evangeline Lilly front and center.

Ant Man and The Wasp flies into theaters on July 6th!

A First Look at Pixar Pier’s Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats

“Snow Cone?”

Though Pixar Pier is not officially opening until June, The Adorable Snowman wanted to celebrate early, opening his very own ice cream and frozen treat stand this week in Disney California Adventure. Based off the lovable character from Monsters Inc., fans will get the chance to taste and savor some new flavors as well as some former Paradise Pier classics.

The new menu, which can be seen below, has two new signature offerings that are sure to tempt your taste buds. The “It’s Snow-Capped Lemon!” is a nice and simple snack, featuring a white chocolate dipped topping and lemon soft serve. If you want a little more of a tropical kick, the “Pixar Pier Frosty Parfait” is a must try. It is a smooth blend of lemon and blue raspberry. SoCalThrills had a chance to taste the parfait and we highly recommend it!

Another added bonus to the lemon soft serve is that it is non dairy. For those looking for more diverse snack and food options, this is a sweet addition. Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats will be the first of many new food offerings in Pixar Pier that include Lamplight Lounge, Poultry Palace, Señor Buzz Churros, and Angry Dogs.

Stay tuned for more Pixar Fest and Pixar Pier updates to come!
