Crew on the USS Dwight D Eisenhower made their own Navy-fied version of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser.

Also this week WIRED magazine gave us a peek behind the scenes of the First Order Stormtrooper dressing room on the set of “The Force Awakens”, as a preview of their “Star Wars”-themed issue which will hit newsstands on December 10th”.
With these record-breaking numbers, the film will most likely break the December opening weekend record as well.
There’s been loads of mystery about how Luke Skywalker would be included in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it came out that he’s under a massively complex non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that prevents him from talking specifics to keep the mystery alive. Omitted from the posters, and only a voiceover and possibly a hooded metal hand in the trailers, we don’t know much of anything about what Luke Skywalker’s status is in the film. Online ticket services are saying plenty of seats are still available for the movie’s opening weekend.
Lucas did have treatments ready for the Star Wars sequels, but as Indiewire notes, Disney decided not to use any ideas from them.
In just four weeks, Star Wars VII imperially marches into theaters everywhere, but what you may not know is that the new Star Wars movie may already be setting box office records.
Then again, “The Force Awakens” is not exactly like most movies. “So I said, ‘Okay, I will go my way, and I’ll let them go their way'”.

Even so, most pundits are now predicting the film to open with at least $200 million, which is very likely if the number of presales continues to rise. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey for example got nearly a 3.6 (with so-so reception) while Avatar – the highest grossing movie of all time – had a 9.7. Even with as low as a 3.5 The Force Awakens could ultimately end up with a domestic total above that of Avatar ($760.5). Thankfully, Disney is doing everything they can to avoid spoilers getting out, so everyone should be able to go into this one mostly spoiler-free, unless of course you’ve been reading the rumors and a few of them turn out to be true.
