Ahead of Star Wars Celebration this weekend, we thought we’d get an early jump on other news that has popped up during the week. So enjoy this early edition of the Roundup!
The purpose of this roundup is to put the highlights of all things Star Wars from the last week in one location. If you read this each week, you should be able to converse fluently with any Star Wars fan on everything from the latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens developments to the latest toys. And maybe you’ll even share with them something that they might have missed.
Let’s get to it!
The Force Awakens News and Rumors
Not going to Star Wars Celebration but still want to see what’s presented? There’s a new hope for you! Hopefully Verizon can handle the full power of the Force.
