It seems like kind of a no-brainer at this point, but after a tease earlier this year that J.J.

And along with that cool bit of nerd-friendly news, we've got some details on the 'Star Wars' presence at Comic-Con 2014.

While director J.J. Abrams has a team set up in Abu Dhabi filming scenes for 'Star Wars: Episode 7,' even more action is commencing in London's Pinewood Studios.

It's been a good news-bad news kind of day for NBC viewers, as the same afternoon that saw 'Hannibal' renewed for a third season also gave birth to 'Community''s season 5 cancellation.

'Star Wars: Episode 7' has finally announced its cast after a long process that has spanned months of speculation and rumors.

It should come as no surprise that Disney, who has never been afraid of finding new ways to make money, is planning to release the hotly anticipated 'Star Wars: Episode 7' in this massive format. So are you prepared to pay a little extra to journey to a galaxy far, far away on

While 'Star Wars: Episode 7' has been gearing up for production, plenty of names have been rumored to have taken meetings with J.J. Abrams for roles in the upcoming trilogy. Now comes word of three actors whom Abrams has been eyeing for a possible leading role: Michael Fassbender, Hugo Weaving, and 'Girls' star Adam Driver.
