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
John Williams apparently started recording music this week!
Sounds like John Williams starts recording the Episode VII score today. I never thought we’d get a sequel, much less one scored by Williams.
