‘Episode VII’ News: Christina Chong has been cast in the galaxy far, far away

Christina Chong.

All-diversity-everything these days on the Episode VII set. News has Christina Chong (who/whom/whatever/ I’m not familiar with) joining the cast in an unspecified role. Which pretty much describes the role of every single member of the cast outside of the OT-OG folks returning.

‘EPISODE VII’ on schedule despite Ford’s injury, has cast two new roles

star wars

Double scoop of Episode VII news on this Sunday. First off: the flick is on schedule! Despite General Solo’s injury! Go figure. I’m sure after Disney Corporate deployed the Robo-Ninjas with their Death-Laced Scythes, all of a sudden Abrams felt he could make the December 2018 deadline. Second off: the flick has added two more members to its already impressive cast.

‘EPISODE VII’ Rumor: Simon Pegg has *omfg?* filmed a “Secret Role.”

Simon Pegg

GASP! GASPGASPCHOKEONDRINK. Simon Pegg has filmed a “Secret Role” in Episode 77: S7ar Wars: Solo In The Jungle Falcon, Watch Out For That Tree Door!. If this shit is true, I imagine it as nothing more than some sort of cameo giving a lifelong Star Wars fan a part as a hook-up.

Harrison Ford injured by MILLENNIUM FALCON on ‘Star Wars’ set

Harrison Ford

Here’s one way to confirm that the Millennium Falcon is going to be in S7ar Wars: Episode 7 – Don’t Call It A Comeback (But Maybe Call It A Cash Grab). The fucking Falcon dinged out Old Man Ford today while on set. More like HAN OHNOMYFUCKINGANKLE amirite? #selfhate #poortaste #inappropriateiknow

‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY’ x ‘STAR WARS’ poster = Galactic mash-up win

Guardians of the Galaxy Star Wars homage by Matt Ferguson.

Look at this fucking gnarly mash-up poster by Matt Ferguson. You know, I was going to post this tomorrow. ‘Cause today I already jerked off with uncomfortable fervor to the new Guardians of the Galaxy TV spot here on the site. But!, pretty much everyone else and their Mom is posting it. So by tomorrow it’ll be totally stale biscuits. If it ain’t already. CarpeclickbaityaknowwhatImean?

Abrams denies MILLENNIUM FALCON set-photos. While INSIDE MILLENNIUM FALCON.

Shout out to J.J. Abrams for apparently developing a sense of humor about the recent leaks from the sets of Episode VII. In the past the dude would have moped into his room, pumped three or four loads into his Mystery Box, and passed out in a malaise. But perhaps he has found the Serenity Prayer, and taken to acceptance. ‘Cause while he has used Twitter to ask for the leaks to stop, he’s done it with a wink and a grin not typically found in the lad’s arsenal.

‘EPISODE VII’ Set Photos: Real creatures, vehicles, sets, oh my

episode vii

These pictures have been on the Internet for like twelve hours now. Which in World Wide Web time, is a year and a half. In Fanboy-Geekstream time it’s something like three millenia. But I don’t care! I want to cover it. Here’s a batch of photos from an Episode VII set. They feature a gargantuan creature, some sets, and a vehicle. I know that there are those out there already all like “Listen excited fanboy, the Prequels actually had real sets, too.” I GET IT. Just let me be excited. I need this. For my mind.

‘EPISODE VII’ News: Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie join cast

Hell Yes.

An Oscar winner and fucking Brienne of Tarth have joined Episode VII. I understand I stroke it to Wampa porn and worship at the altar of the Force, so I may be biased. But I’m losing my fucking mind over this cast.
