STAR WARS- Episode VII - Supercut Trailer

Episode VII in the Star Wars Saga, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, opens in theaters December 18, 2015

When it was first announced that the Star Wars brand had been acquired by Disney, with the intention to make a whole new sequel trilogy of live-action films, there were a lot of questions: Who would direct? How would Episode 7 tie-into the larger Star Wars saga? Would divisive franchise creator George Lucas be involved? However, one question was asked more than any other: Will Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford, the original heroes of Star Wars, return – and, if so, how big a role will they play? Two years later, and we now know that Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa are set to return for The Force Awakens – in significant roles.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is the upcoming first film of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The film is directed by J.J. Abrams; written by Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan; and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Bad Robot Productions. The film, which is currently in post-production, will be released on December 18, 2015 in North America and December 17 in Mexico, Latin America & Asian countries. Some North American theaters will also offer special limited advance showings on the evening of December 17.

Despite initially claiming that the Star Wars story ended in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, and spending years refuting speculation that there would be another film, George Lucas began work on the story of Episode VII in 2011 in order to increase the value of Lucasfilm Ltd. before he sold it to The Walt Disney Company, although Disney would later elect to not use Lucas's story. The acquisition was finalized on October 30, 2012, and Disney and Lucasfilm officially announced Episode VII the same day.
