So, I have been slacking lately with how frequently I post… But, I hope to make it up to you all by taking all the information I have found on the new Star Wars movie and compiling it into one easy blog for you to read. Feel free to leave any comments or new information you find. I know we are all excited to see what J.J Abrams and his team have in store for us!nnNow, I know many Star Wars fans were upset and nervous when they found out that J.J Abrams was going to take the helm. But, if you look at his track record, even removing Star Trek, his work is genius! The way he looks at things and is able to put it on paper and on the big screen… You have to admit he is a perfect fit. So if any of you fans who are one sided (you can also be a fan of Star Trek you know…), try to be open-minded. And look at it this way, it can’t be any worse that I-III…nnSo, if you don’t follow BAD ROBOT on TWITTER or read, well, almost anything online, BAD ROBOT tweeted the following:nnhttps://twitter.com/bad_robot/status/401077191087095808nnSO EXCITING!!! I know it’s only R2, but seriously… It’s R2!nnJ.J Abrams is working with Lawrence Kasdan on the script. This is good because Kasdan co-wrote The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and Raiders of the Lost Ark! It’s safe to say that Kasdan kind of knows what he’s doing, don’t you think?n

nHas grown up without a father’s influence. Without the model of being a man, he doesn’t have the strongest sense of himself. Despite this, he is smart, capable and shows courage when it is needed.
