One of the main questions regarding 'Star Wars: Episode 7' is, "Will J.J. Abrams be able to follow in George Lucas' footsteps?" Many, including 'Star Trek Into Darkness' star Simon Pegg, believes yes, as he's already reinvigorated the 'Star Trek' universe. But what exactly will he bring to the next chapter? As Pegg said, "All the things that we loved about the first three."

'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Bringing Back C-3PO? We Wouldn't Be Surprised

Nick Romano — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:00:32 +0000

It's important to note that most, if not all 'Star Wars: Episode 7' talk at this point is unofficial chatter -- Harrison Ford seems to "think" he'll be coming back, everyone seems to "think" the new trilogy will focus on the children of Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo and Princess Leia, etc. That said, the latest 'Star Wars' alum seemingly throwing his name into the pool is our second favorite droid C-3PO. (Obviously R2-D2 is our favorite).

'Star Wars: Episode 7' will be directed by J.J. Abrams and now that we know this, we can turn our rumor-mongering attention to who is going to star in the film.

The White House’s ‘We The People’ website, which allows citizens to petition the Obama administration to take action on issues facing the nation, has been in the news a lot lately.

With George Lucas out of Lucasfilm, a number of big changes have already happened. They're developing 'Star Wars Episode 7,' and it looks like a long promised spin-off may be coming out of the mothballs. No, not another Ewok adventure, but the long rumored live-action 'Star Wars' television show.

'Star Wars Episode 7′ – Did J.J. Abrams Turn Down the Directing Job?

Eric Walkuski — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 14:58:51 +0000

The question of who will direct the next 'Star Wars' still lingers quite maddeningly; while we would ideally be compiling a shortlist of contenders, we mostly collate who has expressed disinterest or denied involvement. One of those names is J.J. Abrams, who weeks ago stated in no uncertain terms that he didn't want the massive undertaking.

But did you know that he was evidently offered the job? A few choice quotes from the 'Star Trek' director indicates that he could have been the captain of two different space sagas. Jump after the break to learn more.

'Star Wars: Episode 7′ — Just How Involved Will George Lucas Be in the New Trilogy?

Eric Walkuski — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:54:49 +0000

While we wait patiently (ever so patiently...) for a director to finally be named to helm 'Star Wars: Episode 7', we must look elsewhere to feed our 'Star Wars' hunger.

George Lucas will certainly do nicely! Ever since the news broke that the man would be on board in an advisory role during the development of 'Episode 7' (and beyond), most of us have been wondering just how connected he will be. To hear Lucas tell it, he's just sort of going to be hanging around, waiting for people to ask him something.

'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith 3D' Release Now Fending Off 'Attack of the Clones 3D'

Eric Walkuski — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:47:25 +0000

As we revealed back in August, 20th Century Fox altered its original distribution plan for the 'Star Wars' 3D re-releases -- from dishing one out annually to giving them back-to-back releases -- with 'Attack of the Clones' and 'Revenge of the Sith' separated by a mere handful of weeks in late 2013.

Well, that has changed once again, as the studio has moved 'Sith' up; now it opens only two weeks after 'Attack of the Clones.' Find out the exact dates after the break.

'Banthapug' Had Better Be in 'Star Wars Episode 7′

Emerald Catron — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:26:38 +0000

After watching this video, it’s safe to say we will be genuinely interested in what Disney does with the next installment of ‘Star Wars’ *if* all the creatures are pugs in costumes. It works for Bantha, why not other creatures?Granted, we have a well-expressed affection for dolled-up pugs, but that is only because we’re human beings [...]

Disney Buys Lucasfilms; More Star Wars Films On The Way

T-Rav — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 01:08:46 +0000

If you thought the Star Wars story was going to end with an ewok party, you underestimated the power of a very large check. At the beginning of this year, Disney purchased Marvel Entertainment. That purchase helped the Mouseketteers obtain a large rights portfolio of superheros and villains. They paid $4 billion for that purchase. Today [...]
