If you went Deep Nerd on that behind-the-scenes video released from "The Last Jedi," you may have noticed Finn sporting a haircut and costume we never saw in the movie. Here's how that happened.
"Star Wars" movies have been influencing names for decades, so clearly the new generation of characters from a galaxy far, far away introduced in "The Force Awakens" and returning in "The Last Jedi" will leave their imprint on young Padawans.
"I felt like I was about to play the Super Bowl," says Tran, who plays Rose Tico. "I knew all the plays. I knew exactly what was going to happen. And then you see R2-D2, and you're like, 'I'm thrown off.’"
It’s not easy to get hold of actual props from a “Star Wars” movie, unless you were actually in a “Star Wars” movie. Yahoo Entertainment asked members of the “Last Jedi” cast whether they have a favorite reminder of their work on the film.
“The Force Awakens” was a game-changer for Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, instantly catapulting them to worldwide fame.
"The Last Jedi" is days from release, and writer-director Rian Johnson is already preparing an original "Star Wars" trilogy, with new characters.
To porg or not to porg?
Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, and John Boyega have seen the movie and reveal their instant reactions to their late co-star's farewell to the galaxy far, far away.
Meanwhile, the director and cast of the new sequel go on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," where they reveal one not-so-big spoiler.
Epic new trailer goes to the dark side with gripping battle footage and shifting alliances.
We don’t know all that much about the purple-haired Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, the Resistance leader played by franchise newcomer Laura Dern in the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But after this weekend’s D23 Expo in Anaheim, we do know that Holdo is handy with the steel (a still from the set showed her gripping a blaster in the fog).

When the Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer premiered Friday at Star Wars Celebration, the audience wasn't alone in seeing the footage for the first time — the film's stars had no idea what was coming, either. Yahoo Movies caught up with the cast immediately after the debut, and grilled them on their initial reaction to the preview. (Watch above.)
The online campaign of hate towards the new ‘Ghostbusters’ film took a sinister turn overnight with one of the film’s stars being moved to tears by racist abuse on Twitter. Actress and comedian Leslie Jones, who plays MTA worker-turned Ghostbuster Patty Tolan, found herself bombarded on Twitter by trolls sending her relentless racist abuse, some of which she screengrabbed and shared with her 175k followers.

Have you ever felt sorry for a person in a stock photo? We sure have. But, this latest stock image to surface at the University of Nebraska may change that.
Awards season is a bit of a polarizing time of year. Celebrity news reaches a fever pitch and yet, we can’t help but anticipate all that season brings, whether we claim to love it or hate it. The gowns, the speeches, the performances and even the controversies are all part and parcel.
The new cast members of Star Wars: The Force Awakens have clearly been experiencing a whirlwind of emotions since landing roles in the galaxy’s single biggest movie series. “Going on the Millennium Falcon has been surreal,” John Boyega (who plays Finn) said of the iconic ship piloted by Han Solo and his first mate Chewbacca. Meanwhile Lupita Nyong'o, who plays the motion-capture pirate Maz Kanata, was floored by the film’s use of its famous extraterrestrial creatures.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt came dressed as Yoda. Sofia Vergara wore Princess Leia’s signature hair buns. Other actors like Rainn Wilson (who also came in costume) and Eric Stonestreet tweeted out their approval.

Only a short time ago in a galaxy not so far away, there was a bitter divide between the devotees of sci-fi/fantasy behemoths Star Wars and Star Trek. “Here’s what you need to do,” Boyega said, addressing the man who played Captain Kirk.
John Boyega is living out the ultimate fan’s fantasy. Like his co-star Oscar Isaac, the 23-year-old British actor is a total Star Wars nerd, making his casting in the franchise re-starter Star Wars: The Force Awakens something of a dream come true. Whether or not Finn actually is a Stormtrooper remains to be seen — director J.J. Abrams warned the actor off the question during the presentation at Star Wars Celebration — but either way, Boyega apparently loved the costume so much that he’s incorporated its design into his leisurewear.
