Bleh I am heading out to a conference tomorrow so I won't be back until Saturday night or Sunday. Otherwise I would dig into all the details with everyone! :)

I am so stoked for this movie myself but then again I am a huge Star Wars fan and honestly say what you will but Revenge of the Sith is my favorite. It's up there with Empire Strikes back and Return of the Jedi.

I think this movie is going to more than just impresses people. Surprisingly this trailer reviled way too much in my books. It confirms a few things that I have heard about the film prior and it looks like we are going to be in for one hell of a ride, and the final showdown is going to make some jaws drop!

Is episode vii a canonical successor, meaning those who read books and comics already know what will happen?

Yes Episode VII is a canonical successor! However with that in mind Disney has scrapped the whole EU stuff for a freash start and more "creative control". Anything after Return of the Jedi is no longer cannon unfortunately. Thrawn Trilogy and Legacy of the Force are gone now. That being said there are elements from some of the EU content that will influence the films. J J. Abrams knows what he is doing. He has a been a huge Star Wars nerd since he was little boy! So I trust that he gets this one right. For him, this is like if you were given a change to work on your favorite IP! Abrams dream has come true.

 There is a HUGE rumor that Mara Jade will make an appearance in the film. This is a huge rumor that has some evidence backing it up due to the Star Wars Rebels toy lineup. This should be taken with a grain of salt.
