Star Wars Fans Launch X-Wing Fighter Into Stratosphere
Two Star Wars fans decided to get the attention and praise of director JJ Abrams in a way that best matches the content of the fantasy saga - they launched an X-Wing fighter jet into the stratosphere. Reported by the ScreenCrush edition. They did it using a helium-filled balloon, to which the model itself and a GoPro camera were attached, which captured several minutes of the X-Wing "flight" at an altitude of over 39 kilometers. According to the authors of the project, they expect in this way to obtain an invitation to the world premiere of the movie "Star Wars: Episode 7 - The Force Awakens", which was directed by Abrams. The picture will be presented to viewers in December 2015. The main roles were played by Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong'o, Peter Mayhew and other actors.
