J.J Abrams wants an Apple watch. Either that or he’s simply used that as an excuse to plug the fact that the ‘Empire’ – and an interior design familiar to devotees of the original trilogy – make a reprise in “Star Wars : Episode VII”. So what do you guys make of this familiar reflective pattern? Does the new film feature the Death Star? Maybe a Star Destroyer? Maybe it appears in that rumoured Darth Vader flashback scene? Or is JJ just Jedi mind-fucking us!?
Meanwhile, this Twitter feed for a flying school in England reports that a familiar-looking spacecraft is sharing their airspace – or at least, runway space – at the moment. Yup, that’s Chewie’s ‘ride’ parked on the tar there.

Finally, at least for today, new rumours suggest Mark HamilL’s Luke Skywalker might be channeling his inner-Sebastian Shaw in the new film – at least for part of it anyway. Is Luke the ‘big bad’ of the new trilogy? Definitely a good angle for it – the ‘full circle’ thing.
