Star Wars Ep. VII has a name...

When you put the cards in order by color, and tape them together, flip it over, you get a large poster. At least that is what my 1977 card collection was.

The first two are references to actual series 1 and series 2 cards (Artoo imprisoned by the Jawas and Artoo Detoo aboard the Rebel Starship). The Kylo Ren card... should technically be a red front.

Oh goodie, he's already starting with mystery stuff that will turn out to be ho-hum disappointments.

Finally, that little rolling ball droid has a name! BB-8.

If I had the skill, I'd photoshop a low battery indicator onto him and rename him DV-8

Or maybe sex toys instead.

I didn't know the TIE Fighters were two-man crewed.

I suspect they're just guarding the wreckage, as neither of them are wearing TIE pilot pressure suits.

If the cheap assed emperor would spring for some shields, this would never have happened.

Rey is Han Solo and Princess Leias' kid right?

Weird I saw TOS Enterprise with missing nacelles at first. Which is still Abrams appropriate.

NO. NO. HAN AND LEIA HAVE THREE CHILDREN NAMED JACEN, JAINA, AND ANAKIN. NO AMOUNT OF RETCONNING WILL EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVERCONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!!!

But what if the new continuity makes it where they did have three kids, older son, Doh. Middle kid, Rey, and youngest Mei.

Since it's Abrams, I'd like to see at least one character explode with ancient space-dynamite.

Apparently there are more blasphemous sabers out there than triple blades. Star Wars: Rebels is set to reveal a very unconventional lightsaber.

This one makes more sense to me than the triple-blade, honestly.

Reminds me a lot of this.

Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, and Cecep Arif Rahman join the cast.

aka, these guys from the Raid:

bhamv3 · Jan 5, 2015

But wait... isn't the movie well into production? I mean, they have a trailer out. How can they add new cast members at this point?

SpecialKO · Jan 5, 2015

I'm assuming that a lot of the big set-piece fight scenes are mostly unfilmed.

GasBandit · Jan 5, 2015

I'd heard they'd "wrapped" production, and were just going to need a year of postproduction now.

"...finish principle photography..."

They are still shooting stuff, just the huge cast ensembles (typically main characters) are done with the main shooting, they can still be called back for re-shoots and other needed shots.

Huh. Well. Seems a bit premature to have a wrap party and hand out sappy congratulatory/thank you letters and such, doesn't it...

SpecialKO · Jan 5, 2015

Fuck, I'd watch these guys do their thing in just the inevitable after-credit scene and be happy!

Not particularly, it's just the way it's done now. They "wrapped" the main shoot, the 2+ months of daily shooting of the majority of the movie. Many times they find that the shooting they did the first time just doesn't work for the editing of putting the movie together, so they have call-backs for those actors and even bring in more actors to fill out roles that are needed for the final product, but didn't need to be done during the marathon shooting schedule of principle photography.

Hasbro has gone all in with the impractical light saber concept:
