Just over a week now until the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the teases and teasers for the film keep coming.
The episode also featured several sketches, including one in which R2-D2 projected a hologram of Fisher, who said she’s sworn off the bun wig from “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope”. In 2012, The Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm and immediately announced a new sequel trilogy in the “Star Wars” franchise, with J.J. Abrams as the first film’s director.
It’s amusing, Star Wars is so much its own world and its own universe, and yet it’s also a period piece; it came out of the 1970s. So we were relieved when Kathleen Kennedy appeared to confirm that Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Gwendoline Christie and Harrison Ford will all return.
According to the Drafthouse’s official website, the Austin theater will be hosting an endurance test where fans must watch The Force Awakens over and over for days on end until only one contestant remains. But even more importantly, does this mean that Finn dies?
The featurette focuses on Daisy Ridley’s character, Rey, who is ostensibly the lead character of the film. Star Wars is a fantasy and Star Trek is science fiction, and each has a very strong iconography and I think they’re very separate. Better really, really, really late than never, I guess.

Perhaps, instead of Kenobi, the line may be replaced with, “It has seen the end of Luke Skywalker”, especially taking into account the many rumors of Skywalker dying in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
