True but I'll always remember, regardless of how low anyone's anticipation was for each new entry in the prequel series - that intro never lost it's impact.

True, as Soon as the main credits start after the "A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away" caption appears with the opening notes of John Williams score blasting out of the speakers, you're glued to the screen.

Hopefully this new one will deal with a new Sith Lord who is trying to place himself atop a skillfully manipulated pyramid scheme!

I think my Britishness is coming through again.

If you didn't know already trump is another word for fart over here.

The Sith Lord has bowl problems and uses this to his advantage.

It sounds like some kind of terraforming device you would see in an Alien film.

A new sound mix and speaker set-up for theatres. You know 5.1 and 7.1? Well this is some super 20-30 speaker system or something. There is currently no Dolby Atmos theatres in Australia, and my local says they don't even know when they'll upgrade, because they spent millions on going all digital and 7.1 recently.

It is exciting however. And would be great if Star Wars is the film that convinces my local to upgrade, and becomes my first Atmos experience!

It scares me imagining it in home set-ups... I have enough wires already!

20-30 channels for a Star Wars film would be amazing.

Here's even more good news for Episode 7, more real special effects compared to CGI effects!! http://www.hypable.com/2013/07/29/st...isode-vii-cgi/

As unlikely as it may be, especially given Abrams' Star Trek, I'd love a mixture of CG and practical effects for the ships. For all of TPM's problems, the space battle at the end of it is flawless in terms of its effects.

Awesome news.

I love it how the film already has a 8/10 on this website even though it doesn't come out for another year and a half.

Filiming starts next month & production title revealed

According to Jedi News, Disney have signed a filming location deal with Pinewood Studios which will give them studio space there for the next ten years. We already know that Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Cinderella and Star Wars Episode VII will all shoot at the iconic location, and the studio clearly has plans to return for possible sequels to them and more besides. However, most interesting is the fact that J.J. Abrams Star Wars movie is currently in pre-production under the pseudonym, "Foodles Productions Ltd". This was registered by Disney UK back in March. The site adds, "that the film has been in pre-production at Pinewood Studios for three and a half months in advance of an August 2013 shooting date. We hear they have block booked the studios for 10 years and that construction of offices and facilities on-site is underway. Also storage space is being located in the local area." With Kathleen Kennedy recently promising a return to old school practical effects, it could be these that they are currently working on. However, will this earlier start give Abrams time to also helm Star Trek 3?

Awesome news that the filming starts in a few weeks. I'm sure we'll get casting announcements very soon. We'll probably get a teaser at some point next summer. Probably at Comic-Con.

Abrams said earlier that production starts in Jan 2014, talking about moving his family to London at the end of the year. They do need a lot of time in post-production though, if they want to meet the 2015 release. If this is true then they’re really going in as quietly as possible, even not announcing even a single cast & starting a misinformation campaign. But I would like to think that it’s true, this means the hype is starting sooner than we thought, bring on the spy photos & scoops!

I remain sceptical as they said they would begin at the start of next year, but this would be great if true.

It would take us all by surprise if they suddenly showed a teaser trailer at somewhere like Comic Con next year.
