Star Wars: A Visual History

19. Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in late 2012 brought with it some incredible news - there's going to be a Star Wars Episode VII.

Due on 18th December, 2015, Star Wars: The Force Awakens (in the tradition of the Original Trilogy, the Episode moniker has been dropped) will continue the Saga's story in a plot still tightly under wraps.

A recent trailer was nothing short of incredible, offering a delectable mix of classic nostalgia and the incredibly new. And countless debates over whether a cross-guard lightsaber is practical.
