2013 was the year that every possible Star Wars Episode VII rumor came out. Some of the rumors were great, some were exciting... and some were just plain stupid. Here are the dumbest Star Wars VII rumors of 2013.

1. Jennifer Lawrence as a young Han Solo: Not that she would be the first woman to play a man onscreen (or vice versa), but the concept of the pixie-ish Hunger Games star as our favorite swash-buckling rogue is a bit thick for us... Oscar winner or not. (Besides, it's been made clear that Episode VII takes place after Return of the Jedi, so unless J.J. Abrams factors in some ridiculous time-travel subplot, a young Han Solo isn't going to happen in this film...)

2. The Return of Darth Vader: So we're now supposed to suspend reality totally and presume that he not only survived an epic lightsaber battle and a blast of Force lightning that disabled the machines that kept him alive... but that after that, he survived immolation?! Really, though? Really?

3. The Return of Emperor Palpatine as a Force Ghost: Actually, this one's a little trickier, and will cause me to momentarily descend into Star Wars nerd-dom -- but any Star Wars fan knows that "Force Ghosts" (for lack of a better way of putting it) are reserved for those who align themselves with the Light Side of the Force (in other words, Jedis). Palpatine, as we know, is a Dark Lord of the Sith. Not happening.

4. James Blunt confirms that Carrie Fisher will be Princess Leia: For those of you still suffering from the post-traumatic stress disorder brought upon by Blunt's singing, let me remind you who he is:

When I want advice on which song I want to slit my wrists to, I'll consult Mr. Blunt. But when it comes to my Star Wars news, my own counsel will I keep when it comes to discerning the facts from the fictions, thank you very much.

5. Florence Welch in a Title Role: In case you're not up to date with today's pathetic excuse for "rock music" (the 90s was the last great era for rock; this is not up for discussion), here's who Florence Welch (of Florence & the Machine) is:

Harps, disjointed wannabe-Bjork emo poetry, and interpretive dance... these are the tools of the Sith. No thank you. Next.
