Many 'Star Trek' fans felt personally betrayed when director J.J. Abrams ditched the series and jumped ship to 'Star Wars: Episode 7.' After all, the two iconic science fiction franchises have been embroiled in a silly war among fans for decades now -- either you're in one camp or the other, it seems. But how would Trekkies feel if Mr. Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy, took a journey to the 'Star Wars' universe?
We all know that Florence Welch can sing — but can she act as well? According to a recent story in the Sun, Florence + the Machine's dynamic frontwoman is being considered for a “major part” in the upcoming ‘Star Wars’ trilogy.
Just when you thought comedian Patton Oswalt's viral hit rant from 'Parks and Recreation' couldn't get any better, along comes an animated version of quite possibly the greatest movie pitch of all time.
Last month, the comic made a hysterical appearance on
One of the main questions regarding 'Star Wars: Episode 7' is, "Will J.J. Abrams be able to follow in George Lucas' footsteps?" Many, including 'Star Trek Into Darkness' star Simon Pegg, believes yes, as he's already reinvigorated the 'Star Trek' universe. But what exactly will he bring to the next chapter? As Pegg said, "All the things that we loved about the first three."

The video above is just incredible! It's The Piano Guys doing a lightsaber/cello duel while playing one of the best Star Wars music medleys I've ever heard. (Darth Vader playing an accordion? Epic!)
'Star Wars' fans needn't worry about whether their favorite composer will return to score the new 'Episode 7'-led trilogy -- director J.J. Abrams assures us John Williams will be coming back.
Director JJ Abrams is infamous for keeping details on his projects on the down low, so many people have already begun speculating what will go on with the production of 'Star Wars Episode 7.' If there's one thing we learned from watching the production of the prequel trilogy, it's that 'Star Wars' fans are as passionate as they are nosy and if there's one thing we've learned from 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' it's that Abrams plays things close to the vest.

As you most likely already know, reports of Harrison Ford's involvement in the upcoming J.J.

Plus even Ford himself said he "thinks" it's a sure thing -- but that's apparently all he has to say on the matter and he won't discuss it further. Seriously.
