Making Star Wars has been a major source of information on the plot – or more specifically the rumored plot – of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Earlier this week they ran a super, major spoiler that knowing will ruin your enjoyment of the film. We don’t link to that one (but it’s out there). Instead, we want to point you to almost the opposite post.
Their source has given them a good idea of how Star Wars: The Force Awakens beings. Now, if this is true (and it sounds very similar to rumors that have been going around) it is also a spoiler, but it’s much less of a spoiler because it’s the beginning of the movie, not the end. Reading this gave me chills and an idea of what to expect on December 18. We don’t know if it’s true but, either way, don’t read unless you are okay with spoilers. If you are, I highly recommend it.
Star Wars Weekends 2015 are coming to Walt Disney World in Florida and StarWars.com revealed the official poster.
A Kickstarter has been bought to our attention for a film called Rise of the Empire. Directed by Richard Lowry, it promised to be “the ultimate Star Wars fan film.” The pedigree is solid and idea is good too.

The comedy team, The Warp Zone, did this great sketch showing what happens when a Jedi and a Sith talk about the new cross guard lightsaber held by Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens:
I didn’t want to like this, but I did, so we’re posting it here. The Unusual Suspect on YouTube took the Star Wars Trilogy and edited into the style of the trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron.
And while we’re on the topic of fan trailers, here’s Alex Luthor’s take on Star Trek vs. Star Wars.
