The Force Awakens on Vanity Fair
Looks like SlashFilm was right, Vanity Fair has continued the tradition of front-page Star Wars by putting a lovely new picture of TFA on its June 2015 issue — and plenty more. An article explaining Adam Driver’s and Lupita Nyong’o’s characters is here, and a much longer article detailing all sorts of crazy — both […]
Force Awakens trailer and a little humor
This entry contains mild spoilers and many GIFs!! Stuff like planet identification, nothing major, but stay away if you want to know NOTHING (in which case, why are you on a Star Wars news site (other than to ask why Star Wars isn’t on iTunes already)?).
First post-RotJ book! and what it means for Legends
Before I get into the (not so new anymore) news, I want to address my fellow EU/Legends fans: I’m a bit sad about certain parts of my beloved Expanded Universe going from canon to “Legends” and having a completely new storyline written, yes, but I still think it makes a weird sort of sense. I […]

Also confirmed is that this “Kylo Ren” […]
TFA trailer/teaser posted, Internet enjoys it
You can get official news from the official site and twitter feed and see the trailer there or anywhere, so I wanted to wait until a nice amount of commentary showed up on the crazy Internet. There will be spoilers (nothing too major, I hope) pictures, GIFS, and embeddings of teasers real and fake, so […]
Title announced, etc.
With principal photography having been finished up in London, the title was announced by Lucasfilm through Twitter and I agree with Screencrush, the best time to do this was just some random day, when I’m at work being busy and I get a breaking news e-mail from the fiancé. The title will here henceforth be […]
