New “Star Wars”: What We Know
JJ Abrams’ “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is only seven months away from cinemas, and despite the film-maker’s reputation for holding his cards close to his chest, details are beginning to emerge. Thanks to the magic of the internet we’d learned from the new issue of Vanity Fair that Lupita Nyongo’o plays a CGI pirate, Adam Driver is weird, lightsaber-wielding villain Kylo Ren, and JJ Abrams is seriously considering killing off Jar Jar Binks (by way of a sly “Easter eggâ€). Expect more details to spill forth soon.
