We've waited a long time for this day. Finally a new entry into the Star Wars saga that could be completely unpredictable. We've had the prequels and we knew going into them what the outcome would be. SPOILERS for the prequels: Anakin would turn into Darth Vader. Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda would survive. The Skywalker babies (Luke and Leia) would be separated at birth. The surprise and thrill of something new was kinda of taken away. Sure we were introduced to new and annoying characters, but the guessing game of "who is this" and "how important are they" were removed before we took our seat in the crowded theater. We've felt the disappointment for a few years and now, finally, we were ready to come home with Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
In anticipation of the December release of Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens, Entertainment Weekly is doing an exclusive look at the newest installment to the Star Wars Saga. Today they released new photos to be included in that special edition of the magazine.
So San Diego Comic Con was invaded with Stormtroopers and Jawas. The Lucasfilm panel was today and while we weren't given any new footage (a new trailer will debut this fall) we did get a behind the scenes look at Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Check it out and try to not cry!
In one of the coolest ways possible, J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm decided to reveal some character names to us, the salivating public. They released Star Wars trading cards, via EW, to show us the identity of a few characters we were introduced to in the teaser trailer we got a few weeks back. Click through the gallery below to view them all!
It was promised...and Disney delivered. On this most holy of all retail holidays, Black Friday, we were given an early Christmas present. Here's the very first teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens is still a year away from being released but we're about to finally get our first peak at the film when the trailer debuts on Friday, November 28th. Select theaters across the country will play the trailer before every movie between November 28th and the 30th.
