With so many amazing things to see and do during Star Wars Celebration 2015, my absolute favorite experience had the longest line for the shortest experience! This was the Star Wars Battlefront X-Wing Experience! My friend Brian, Cesar and I braved the three hour wait for the coolest 15 second video you will see at the end!

Star Wars Battlefront is the highly anticipated video game from EA. They debuted the trailer at Star Wars Celebration and this is the game I have been dreaming of! Check out the trailer below:



Amazing, right? Well off to the side of their booth they had an X-Wing mock-up with some X-Wing pilot costumes and video editing equipment! They were going to allow you to suit up and put yourself into a video trailer for Star Wars Battlefront!

While waiting in line you can watch the team quickly splicing your video to upload onto YouTube and send it to you via email!

Brian and I are ready to go! The galaxy has never seen two finer pilots!



Our other friend Cesar is seen here entering the cockpit of the X-Wing and you can watch his video session!

NEED FOR SPEED Movie / Full-length Trailer

Framed for a crime he didn't commit, muscle car mechanic and street racer Tobey (Aaron Paul) gets out of prison determined to settle the score with the man responsible for his false conviction. #NFSMovie

NEED FOR SPEED / Teaser Trailer Now Available on iTunes!

DreamWorks Pictures’ “Need for Speed” marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960's and 70's, when the authenticity of the world brought a new level of intensity to the action on-screen. Tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing, the story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes -- one which begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, "Need for Speed" captures the freedom and excitement of the game in a real-world setting, while bringing to life the passion for the road that has made our love of cars so timeless. The film centers around Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul), a blue-collar mechanic who races muscle-cars on the side in an unsanctioned street-racing circuit. Struggling to keep his family-owned garage afloat, he reluctantly partners with the wealthy and arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). But just as a major sale to car broker Julia Bonet (Imogen Poots) looks like it will save Tobey's shop, a disastrous race allows Dino to frame Tobey for a crime he didn’t commit, sending Tobey to prison while Dino expands his business out west. Two years later, Tobey is released and set on revenge -- but he knows his only chance to take down his rival Dino is to defeat him in the high-stakes race known as De Leon—the Super Bowl of underground racing. However to get there in time, Tobey will have to run a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet that includes dodging pursuing cops coast-to-coast as well as contending with a dangerous bounty Dino has put out on his car. With the help of his loyal crew and the surprisingly resourceful Julia, Tobey defies odds at every turn and proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog can still finish first. Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, “Need for Speed” captures the thrills of the game in a real-world setting. “Need for Speed” is presented by DreamWorks Pictures, produced by John Gatins, Pat O’Brien and Mark Sourian and directed by Scott Waugh. The screen story is by John Gatins and George Gatins and the screenplay is by George Gatins and John Gatins, based on the video game series created by Electronic Arts. The film releases in U.S. theaters on March 14, 2014.
