However, it's still interesting to have this tidbit of Star Wars 7 news out there. Let's have a look at what Bob Iger (current CEO of Disney) has to say in regards to the new movie's production and the title itself.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:07:00 +0000

I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween and that you're ready for a new, fresh roundup of Star Wars 7 news and leaks! A lot of stuff has happened over the past month, but most media outlets have just focused on "Rebels" (which is now up to episode 4). So, what will we discus in today's post? Well, let's focus on the rumored character descriptions, leaked villain photos, and the news relating to IMAX formats.

Rumored Star Wars 7 Character and Cameos

So, here's something that female fans are going to be thrilled about - it seems that Benedict Cumberbacth shot a cameo appearance last week and you'll have a chance to get short glimpse of him in the upcoming movie. Along with this it was leaked that Warwick Davis will be playing the role of a cantina musician who'll get into some pretty nasty fight. Apparently, we'll see a bit of violence and gore in this scene where, most notably, an alien played by Simon Pegg will lose an arm. Ouch, pretty nasty - I though Disney was planning a family-friendly movie? Then again, his arm will probably just grow back and everyone will pitch in some funny lines.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 28 Sep 2014 23:05:00 +0000

We've had a lot of Star Wars 7 news and leaks on the blog in the past month, so it seems good that Oscar Isaac did this interview with Entertainment Weekly because we can get a bit of his insight as well. For those of you who've forgotten, Oscar Isaac is an actor who was cast for the new movie during the first casting call. His role in the movie is, obviously, unknown at the time, but based on his reputation and background we expect that he'll get a lot of face time in the new movie. Anyway, let's have a look at the interview and see what he had to say about the latest Star Wars 7 news that were leaked over the past few weeks.

Episode 7 News Update: Chrome Troopers - a New Military Unit in the Galaxy

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 26 Sep 2014 00:26:00 +0000

We've already had several sources claim that Stormtroopers will probably be present in Star Wars: Episode 7, but this is the first report showing a new military unit - the "Chrome Trooper". The latest leaks from Indie Revolver suggest that this leaked photo (seen below) is authentic concept art and not necessarily representative of the final version. However, according the leaked report this military unit is actually a group of highly skilled mercenaries who have little to do with the former Empire or its Imperial Army. Let's dissect the information and talk more about these leaked Chrome Trooper photos, shall we?

So far, Boba Fett and Han Solo have been mentioned, but now we have word that an Obi Wan spinoff might come out in 2020. What's the deal? Well, let's see what the news on the wire says and check out just how accurate this rumor might be.

After an uneventful weekend in terms of Star Wars 7 news, we are greeted by an interesting report from BBC news who claim that actor Miltos Yerolemou has joined the cast of Star Wars Episode 7.

He played the role of a professional swordsman Syrio Forel and is best known for a quote that you may have seen on the Internet: What do we say to the God of Death? Not today!

All of this aside, let's look at how Miltos might contribute to the new movie and what his role in Star Wars 7 might be.

So, unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard about the Ice Bucket Challenge - a new social media hype that's gone viral, but this time for a good cause! The moment is raising money to help researchers find a cure for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and all of these celebrities that are dumping buckets of cold ice on their head are also donating a nice sum of money to the charity. In general it's a win-win situation I suppose and the movement has raised a lot of money.

Star Wars 7 Will Have Less CGI and More 'Practical' Effects

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 17:03:00 +0000

Computer generated graphics are a very controversial topic when it comes to the upcoming Star Wars 7 movie and the new trilogy as a whole. While new CGI technology could provide us with an amazing experience in theaters it could also ruin the upcoming movie and a lot of Star Wars fans confronted the production team with these concerns. The idea is that more 'practical' effects will look better and allow the movie "to age better" into the future. For example, the original trilogy didn't feature that much CGI and it looks pretty good even today.

The Star Wars 7 staff has taken the fans concerns into consideration and decided come out with a statement regarding the issue. We had a chance to hear what writer/director Rian Johnson has to say on the topic and we were quite satisfied!

Top 10 Princess Leia Cosplay Costumes (Links to Original Artists Included!)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 17 Jul 2014 16:20:00 +0000

Carrie Fisher (the legendary actress who played Princess Leia back in the old day) is remembered by many for her rather sexy outfit, refereed to as the "metal bikini". As such you can expect many of the cosplay on this list to be just that, but we will try to include as much variety as possible! However, it is important to note that Carrie Fisher never disliked the fact that she practically became a "cult sex symbol". Another thing that Princess Leia's appearance is also associated with is the the "cinnamon bun" hairstyle so expect to see some of that as well! Let's start, shall we (btw, more Star Wars 7 news coming soon)?

Star Wars was often criticized for the lack of female characters in the movies and they were about to get a lot of negative comments for Episode VII as well, considering that the only female actors on the team are Carrie Fisher and Daisy Ridley. However, this will no longer be the case as Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has recently announced that Oscar-awarded actress Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie will be joining the Star Wars 7 team. Let's dig into the news and see just who these lovely ladies are.

Stormtroopers Return in Star Wars 7? Kevin Smith Explains What He Saw!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 02:30:00 +0000

The world loves Stormtroopers and I cannot deny that I miss them as well. However, I never really understood why people love them that much. Their aim is horrible and I never really felt like the main characters are in danger when they fight them. But who am I to rain on your nostalgia? Anyway, Yahoo Movies came out last week with an interesting report that suggests that the Stormtroopers are returning to the big screen in the next Episode VII. Let's dig into these rumors and check the facts.

Harrison Ford Finally Recovering from Surgery

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 11:31:00 +0000

Originally we were told that Harrison Ford's unfortunate accident at the set will not set the production of Star Wars Episode 7 backwards. While this may be true, it is a fact that Harrison Ford has been out of the studio for quite a while and he had to go through surgery. Luckily, we now have good news - mister Ford is finally recovering and he will be joining the Star Wars 7 production team soon enough. Someone was even able to get a sneaky paparazzo photo of him while he was eating a sandwich at Whole Foods.

Star Wars 7 Comic-Con Appearance Cancelled; You Can Still Catch a Bit of "Rebels"

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 11 Jul 2014 19:33:00 +0000

If you were hoping to see some previews of Star Wars 7 at Comic-Con this year then these dreams have just sunk into deep, icy-cold water. There will be no trailers or crew members (on official duty at least) at this year's Comic-Con and, to be honest, this was to be expected. Considering that J.J. Abrams and the crew are knee-deep in the production phase in Pinewood Studios in London, it was a very unlikely though to expect them in San Diego this month. So, what Star Wars-related goodies can you expect at Comic-Con this year?
