EXCLUSIVE: Mickey Mouse Set to Make Star Wars Debut!

In a move that almost seemed inevitable when the company purchased Lucasfilm for $4 billion in 2012, Disney recently announced that next year would mark the theatrical Star Wars debut for none other than Mickey Mouse. Here is an overview of some exciting news from Disney and Star Wars:

• In a move that almost seemed inevitable when the Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm for $4 billion four years ago, Disney has just announced that 2017 would mark the theatrical Star Wars debut for none other than Mickey Mouse.

• Next summer, moviegoers around the globe will see classic Disney characters, like Mickey, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto and Pete taking on popular roles from December's blockbuster, The Force Awakens in Star Wars: The Mouse Awakens.

• Mickey will portray the legendary Han Solo, while his beau Minnie acts as Leia Organa. Finn and Rey, newer names from the intergalactic franchise, will be played by Donald and Daisy Duck, respectively, while Pete will don the robe and red lightsaber of Kylo Ren, the Galaxy's newest Sith Lord.

• Costume SuperCenter was provided with the exclusive theatrical poster and three stills from the upcoming film, and you can see them here:
