It's an exciting day for 'Star Wars' fans! The teaser for the new installment to the franchise, 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens,' debuted today (Nov. 28).
We thought that the 'Star Wars: Episode 7' title might get officially announced this past summer at Comic-Con, but that event came and went with no official reveal. So, what better way to announce the new title than a random Thursday in November? Just this morning on Twitter, Lucasfilm and the official 'Star Wars' Twitter account revealed the 'Star Wars: Episode 7' title: 'A Force Awakens'.
'Star Wars: Episode 7' won't be released until 2015, but work will have to begin shortly on the special effects heavy film if they hope meet that deadline, and J.J. Abrams may have just shared a very important piece of that puzzle.
George Lucas created 'Star Wars' in 1977 and barely had enough money to finish the first film, but now 35 years later he just made over $4 billion by selling the empire he created to Disney who now will take the film franchise into the future with all new movies, how does Lucas feel about this? Find out after the jump.
In a stunning announcement today, Disney said it is buying Lucasfilm Ltd., which is home to the 'Star Wars' franchise, from founder George Lucas in a deal worth $4.05 billion. And more importantly for this fan boy they announced that a new 'Star Wars' movie will be released.
