After months -- actually, years -- of speculation, rumors, and updates, the shooting of "Star Wars Episode 7" is finally upon us, and despite his promises that he will be more "forthcoming" with the news, director JJ Abrams is remaining frustratingly tight-lipped about the much-anticipated project, which is scheduled for release in December 2015.
Before we know it, 2015 will be here, and "Star Wars Episode 7" will be in theatres. And, if you believe Disney president Alan Horn, the much-anticipated film is already shooting!
The "Star Wars" community is a large, and loyal, bunch, and it is through this community that I met Rictor Riolo & Dax Rushlow (pictured), the stars of SpikeTV's show "The $10 Million Bigfoot Bounty." What do they have to do with "Star Wars," you ask?

In case you were wondering if you can count on Carrie Fisher -- who played Princess Leia in the original "Star Wars" trilogy -- to appear in the new "Star Wars Episode 7," you can rest easy knowing that not only is she confirmed for the much-anticipated sequel in the "Star Wars" saga, but her role is much bigger than originally thought!
It will, literally, be the role of his lifetime...if it turns out to be true, of course.

The coolest cat in this galaxy & every other -- Billy Dee Williams, better known as Lando Calrissian -- has joined the cast of this season's "Dancing with the Stars"!

A few days ago, we reported that JJ Abrams would be taking a less secretive approach to the disclosure of important news regarding the much-anticipated Episode VII of Star Wars. With this in mind, then, here are some of the things we'd like to see JJ Abrams confirm for Episode 7.
As much as we love our galaxy far, far away, there are more than a few mistakes in the "Star Wars" saga, and they're not all critical errors made by the Emperor. (Whaddup Mon Motha!) Now, with "Episode VII" approaching fast on the horizon, one can only hope that JJ Abrams crosses all his T's and dots all his I's, but eagle-eyed nerds such as myself will definitely be on the lookout for even the most minor mistake.
The rumors have been going on for a while, but now Carrie Fisher has confirmed what many of us in the "Star Wars" fanbase knew to be true: the Original Fab Three -- Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford -- will return to the roles that catapulted them into the pop culture landscape in "Star Wars: Episode VII"!
J.J. Abrams has confirmed that the script for Star Wars Episode 7 has been completed, which means that the rumors about casting and shooting are going into overdrive. Today's rumors suggest that the movie will being shooting on May 4th (a day that is sacred in the Star Wars universe), and that Dame Judi Dench will be playing Mon Motha.
Well this will certainly throw a monkey wrench in many a young boy's fantasy of Leia in a metal bikini...rumors are now circulating around Hollywood that Penny Marshall is planning to come out of the closet as a lesbian, and her lover is reportedly none other than Carrie Fisher, better known as Princess Leia!
