"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" Official Trailer Goes Live On 28 November! #BreakTheInternet
Lucasfilm has confirmed the first teaser trailer for the new Star Wars movie will be available through Apple's iTunes Trailer site this Friday. The studio previously announced that an 88-second teaser would be shown in just 30 theaters nationwide on November 28th in the lead-up to a general release in December. It's not clear if the iTunes launch was always intended, or if it's a reaction to the many fans that were upset they would be unable to catch a timely glimpse of the new movie.

Director J.J. Abrams Wants Crew To Stop Leaking "Star Wars: Episode VII" Photos
After leaked photos from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII—the first of the next three Star Wars films—surfaced on TMZ Tuesday, director J.J. Abrams tweeted a plea to those on the set to stop leaking.

A handwritten note by J.J. Abrams reads, 'I wish people would stop leaking photos from Episode VII. And making ridiculous claims that the Millennium Falcon is in the movie.'

The Falcon's use in the movie might be ridiculous given how dated it would be by the events of the new film. But it's not that ridiculous, and Abrams is willing to admit it: his memo is sitting on top of a battered hologame table, just like the one we've seen on board the Falcon in the original trilogy, used for playing a chess-like game with holographic creatures.

A Series Of Photos Recently Emerged From The Ultra-Secretive Abu Dhabi Set Of "Star Wars: Episode VII"
Director J.J. Abrams began shooting the highly anticipated film last month and while little is known about the script, the photos suggest a back to basics style to filming, shunning the unpopular CGI-heavy approach of George Lucas' prequels.

Extras from 'Star Wars: Episode VII' appear dressed in muted colours in some of the photos to emerge from the Abu Dhabi set.
Image via DailyMailA series of photos emerged on 3 June 2014 from the ultra-secretive Abu Dhabi set of Star Wars: Episode VII and although none of the franchise’s big stars put in an appearance, the pictures offer some encouraging first signs of what fans can expect from the new movie.
dailymail.co.ukThe photos reveal many encouraging signs for fans of the original trilogy. Abu Dhabi is believed to be a stand-in for the desert planet of Tatooine, Luke Skywalker’s home planet.
dailymail.co.ukAlthough Her Role Remains Unknown, It Is Confirmed That Academy Award-Winning Actress Lupita Nyong'o Has Joined The Cast
Lupito Nyong'o won the Academy Award for best supporting actress earlier in 2014.

Lucasfilm announced the news on Monday.
British-born Christie plays the warlike Brienne of Tarth in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, but has had little exposure to cinema audiences so far. This will change, however, after the release of the final two parts of The Hunger Games series, in which she plays rebel leader Commander Lyme.

The Original Chewbacca Actor Will Also Reprise His Role In "Star Wars Episode VII"

Mayhew played the legendary Wookiee and Han Solo's co-pilot in the original trilogy, beginning with Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope in 1977.
