In addition to those prequel screenings,YakFacereports the newStar Wars Insider magazine confirms they’ll screen the original trilogy, in 2D, on the big screen. What isn’t mentioned is if it’s the Special Editions or originals. I’d guess the former, unfortunately.

Andy Serkisspoke to theDaily Mirror(viaSW Underworld) about working onStar Wars: The Force Awakens, and seems to have a lot of confidence in it:

Indie Revolverposted a possible piece of concept art fromStar Wars: The Force Awakens. It sounds kind of like an image we mentioned last week but now, if you so choose, you can see it at the previous link. We don’t know if this was just an idea that was tossed out or something that’s actually in the movie, but it’s a much sleeker blend of a TIE Bomber and TIE Fighter.RebelScumuncovered a list ofHasbroStar Wars: The Force Awakenstoys. Unfortunately, they don’t even use the names of characters we know yet, instead using terms like “main villain” but there are some very interesting revelations in there. For example, figures described as “snow desert,” multiple lightsabers, hero and villain ships and even a character whose inclusion is probably a major spoiler, if true. That one is near the bottom if you’d like to look.

When will we see those toys? Not for a while it turns out. Hasbro sent out a press release (viaJediNews) confirmed that thoughNew York Toy Fairis on the horizon, there will NOT beStar Wars: The Force Awakenstoys there.

One of the biggestStar Warsrumors recently was thatAaron Paulmight be involved in theGareth Edwards' spin-off, maybe even as a young Han Solo. Well, Paul took to Twitter to joke about the rumor, a sure fire clue that it’s not true.

There’s been a lot of anticipation for this week’sStar Wars #1but, what about the next issue?Comic Book Resourcesposted a preview of the second issue, and here’s the cover. Head there to see some pages too.

Last but not least, when the originalStar Warscomics came out in the seventies, fans wrote the publishers letters about the series. They included speculation, complaints and much more.Uproxxhas a fun article on some of these great old letters.
