Star Wars Cookie Cutters

These little Star Wars Rebel Friends Cookie Cutters are ready and willing to be friends. Chibi versions of our favorite heroes from the Star Wars saga, and they’re all happy to see you. Even R2-D2 looks like he’s about to let out a happy little chirp. How do they work? Well, you cut the cookie’s shape with one side and then flip the cutter over and use the stamp on the other side to imprint the facial features on the cookie dough. The deep indentations mean they look great un-iced right out of the oven, although we’ve never been opposed to extra sugar ourselves. Slip one into the lunchbox of your young geek today and make the cafeteria experience epic.

Mmmm, I bet cookies made with the Star Wars Cookie Cutters would be great with a glass of blue milk, don’t you?

Carrie Fisher Completed Work on ‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ Before Her Death

fisher-facebookjumbo

Carrie Fisher’s death this morning has left her involvement in a number of film and television projects uncertain. Chief among them is her ongoing role in the Star Wars franchise.

The eighth film in the series, in which Fisher appears as Leia Organa, wrapped shooting in July and is now in post-production. Sources tell Variety that Fisher’s work on the sequel was finished. That means that Disney and LucasFilm, the producers of the Star Wars series, will not have to address Fisher’s death until the ninth film begins shooting in 2018. Leia was originally slated to appear in that production.

Beyond Star Wars, Fisher was highly sought after for her on camera work and for her writing and script doctoring. Among her many projects, Fisher had a recurring role on the Amazon/Channel 4 comedy series “Catastrophe,” playing the caustic mother of star Rob Delaney’s character. The show’s third season is set to premiere early next year. Fisher was on a flight returning from her work on the show in London at the time she suffered a heart attack. “Catastrophe” has completed filming for its third season, which will air in the spring. Fisher appears in one of the season’s six episodes. The show has already been renewed for a fourth season. There’s no word yet on how the show will handle Fisher’s character in upcoming seasons.

Co-creator and star Sharon Horgan said of Fisher via Instagram: “She was the most generous, fun, gifted, smart, kind, funny funny funny person I’ve ever met. She certainly wasn’t ready to go. I’m so glad we became pals. I’m so devastated at her loss. I want to write about her more but I can’t process yet.”

Fisher was also supposed to film a role in the film “Wonderwell,” which IMDB writes is a fantastical story set in the world of fashion. Director Vlad Marsavin did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the status of Fisher’s work.

Fisher had a recurring role on Fox’s “Family Guy” as the voice of Angela, the boss at the brewery where Seth MacFarlane’s Peter Griffin works. She most recently appeared in an episode from last season that first aired Jan. 3. It’s not clear if she had wrapped work on any additional episodes before her death.

A new documentary, “Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds,” will screen at the upcoming Palm Springs Film Festival and air on HBO in March.

In the aftermath of Fisher’s death this week, tributes flowed in from across the entertainment landscape. Co-stars such as Mark Hamill and Whoopi Goldberg, as well as Hollywood icons such as Steven Spielberg paid tribute to her sense of humor, her screen talent, and her legacy as a survivor of addiction and mental illness.

Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy said it was difficult to imagine a world without Fisher, praising her as a barrier breaker.

“She was Princess Leia to the world but a very special friend to all of us,” she said. “She had an indomitable spirit, incredible wit, and a loving heart. Carrie also defined the female hero of our age over a generation ago. Her groundbreaking role as Princess Leia served as an inspiration of power and confidence for young girls everywhere.”

Bob Iger, Chairman & CEO Of The Walt Disney Company, On the Passing of Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher was one-of-a-kind, a true character who shared her talent and her truth with us all with her trademark wit and irreverence. Millions fell in love with her as the indomitable Princess Leia; she will always have a special place in the hearts of Star Wars fans as well as all of us who were lucky enough to know her personally. She will be sorely missed, and we join millions of fans and friends around the world who mourn her loss today,” said Bob Iger, chairman and chief executive officer, The Walt Disney Company.

We will miss you Carrie Fisher. May the Force be With You.

Star Wars Legend Carrie Fisher Dead At 60

15731178_10154370935343983_1863705106_n

It is a sad day for Disney and Star Wars fans today. Star Wars legend Carrie Fisher has died at the age of 60.

Carrie Fisher is a Hollywood legend that became a galactic Princess when she starred in Star Wars. We have all come to know and love her as Princess Leia. She later became an acclaimed author and screenwriter, as well. She suffered a heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles this past Friday and today she has died.

“It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning,” the statement read. “She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly. Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers.”

 

 

4 Reasons Why You Should DEFINITELY Dine At Chef Mickey’s

photos-minniekiss

Chef Mickey’s tends to get a bad rep for some reason – people don’t like to dine there apparently, but I have to say – I LOVE it there! And I want you to love it too, so read on for my reasons why Chef Mickey’s is a “Must Dine At” Walt Disney World Restaurant:

(Extremely) Family Friendly: As a parent of a toddler, I know just how challenging dining out with little ones can be – but worry not, as Chef Mickey’s is perfect for those of all ages, including the little ones! It’s got colorful décor, and it tends to be loud and busy – so even if your little one is prone to meltdowns, you certainly won’t have all eyes on you as you try to peel your child off the floor (who hasn’t been there, right?). The wait staff is always great with kids, and super helpful too. Oh, and another huge plus for the little ones – the CHARACTERS! Which brings me to my next item –

The Fab Five: Chef Mickey’s is a Character Meal which means that while you dine, you get the chance to meet and greet with some of your favorite Disney characters! The “fab five” are rarely all in the same place at the same time, but Chef Mickey’s has them ALL – Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto – all dressed adorably in their “chef clothes, of course! They all circulate the dining room going table to table for autographs, photo ops, and they are always up for hugs too! I don’t care how old you are – the sight of Mickey Mouse approaching your table is always guaranteed to make you smile, it’s like spotting a real life celebrity!

The Location: The restaurant is located in the Disney’s Contemporary Resort – which is one of Disney’s Deluxe Resorts and is a great place to stay (or just to eat at, too!). You can take the monorail there (which is always a fun trip!), and the monorail stop is actually inside the hotel itself – it’s pretty cool and the little ones will love it! I also like to stroll around the Resort after I dine at Chef Mickey’s – browse in the stores, walk along the water, and then just another quick monorail ride and I’m back in the Magic (Kingdom that is!)

FOOD: Now, I think the food is the reason many people choose to NOT dine here, but to be honest – that just means more for me, as I think those people are NUTS! I LOVE the food here and always have! It’s served buffet style, which means there is a TON of variety and items to choose from (a plus for those picky eaters in your party – even they will find something they like!), and I have always found it to be fresh and delicious without fail. Breakfast has offerings like oatmeal, fruit salad, frittatas, potatoes, meats, and assorted pastries, while dinner’s menu includes carved meats, fish, sides of vegetables and salads, and a make your own ice cream sundae bar (a personal favorite of mine). I have always loved everything I have eaten here, and I think you will too!

Chef Mickey’s is on my list of “Must Dine” spots when I head to Walt Disney World – and if you haven’t tried it, hopefully the above reasons will convince you to check it out!

“Rogue One” Surpasses $500 Million Worldwide

Counting on box office reports, Disney estimates “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” made $64.4 million domestically during the three-day holiday weekend. That, along with the $47.1 million earned worldwide in the same period, propelled the film to an estimated $523.8 million worldwide.

“Rogue One” remained the No. 1 movie in the U.S., U.K., and a handful of other markets despite the way the calendar fell this year. Theaters are often closed in Europe on Christmas Eve, while U.K. screens are typically shuttered on Christmas Day, according to Disney.

In its opening weekend, Rogue One raked in $155 million. The latest Star Wars offering is the cap in a great year for Disney, which made a whopping $2.49 billion in 2016 before theatergoers could even see “Rogue One”.
