Star Wars: Episode VII is still months away, but we’ve got lots and lots of rumors to keep us warm until then. So bundle up with a glass of warm, blue milk and join the speculation on today’s Nerdist News!
A little birdie told Jessica Chobot that a popular alien race is returning to the Star Wars franchise, but which one? What kind of super-weapon do the Episode VII baddies wield? Is Leia Organa harboring a big, controversial secret?! There’s only one way to find out…
Thanks for watching today’s show, don’t forget to check out yesterday’s exclusive Teen Titans live-action line-up reveal, and let us know in the comments below how you feel about these Star Wars revelations!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for at least one of those things (the planet or the new Death Star [which will almost certainly not be called a Death Star, the New Republic HAS to have a better PR department than the Empire]) will turn out to be Centerpoint Station.
Help me Jessica Chobot your our only hope! … Thanks for the insight :-).
Sniffing out Jedi? Force sensitives? Yet no Vong invasion? Interesting.
The rise and fall of Jacen Solo, and Vong invasion could have them making movies for twenty years. Maybe they don’t like money?
Leia’s Death Star will be pink and shoot a rainbow laser beam. Just kidding. Gold with a purple laser.
lol!
There was also the Darksaber, a stripped down version of the Deathstar laser weapon without the bulk of the rest of the space station. Ironically, it was built by a team of Hutts as I recall.
I know the EU is no longer canon, but there was 1 more Death Star prototype that was constructed in the Maw Nebula facility. So they might be picking and choosing from existing ideas to integrate into the new movies.
Seems like a very crowded plot, unlike the basic premises of the original trilogy…
It is pathetic, very.
