After Shanghai International Film Festival announced the screenings of six episodes of “Star Wars” on the film festival, many fans have been ready and eager to watch them. Even some foreign fans are going to fly to watch the history of the rise and fall of the “Galactic Republic” out of excitement.
On June 3, the Organizing Committee released the sequencing that the fans are most concerned about. At 1:30 p.m. on June 14, Shanghai International Film Festival will launch successive screenings in Yonghua Cinema City together with Walt Disney Pictures, enabling the fans to watch the trilogy of “OVA Series of Star Wars” that has never landed on Chinese mainland. All the audience will receive Star Wars pecks of gifts and for the first time watch the Chinese prevue of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” the new chapter in the series, on the big screen.
Pervasiveness: Fans of “Star Wars” Are Around the World
In the 1980s, “Star Wars” stepped into China in video form. Its special effects and a huge universe view shocked Chinese people. In the past 30 years, six episodes of this series have been released in succession, which have won multiple Oscars and made the audience around the world begin to be crazy about the outer space world.
As of 2015, “Star Wars” has built a huge economic empire. With the box office revenue of nearest $4.5 billion, the six episodes of Star Wars are the world’s most profitable film series; revenue driven by derivatives, such as Star Wars film, fiction, cartoon and game, had been up to tens of billions of dollars.
Those who claimed to have never seen Star Wars may find its gene in “30 Rock,” “The Big Bang Theory,” “Lost,” “The Simpsons” and “Friends.” Yet, US TV series “How I Met Your Mother” which was once a hit best speaks for the whole generation obsessed with Star Wars.
Without Precedent: Successive Screenings of “OVA Series of Star Wars” Trilogy
The prequel trilogy of “Star Wars” had been screened in Chinese mainland. Some fans expressed through the network, “I will never forget how I felt when I watched ‘Star Wars’ in the cinema for the first time.” This time, under the efforts of Walt Disney Pictures, the six episodes of “Star Wars” series can be screened in Chinese mainland finally.
The screenings of all the episodes of “Star Wars” during the film festival have already made the fans excited. They have been ready to fight for tickets. In order to meet the urgent mood of fans of “Star Wars,” Shanghai International Film Festival announced in advance the sequencing of “Star Wars” series, so as to let the fans arrange the trip during the film festival and make early preparations.
