Star Wars: Episode IX is currently without a director. It has been long-rumored that Rian Johnson, director of Star Wars: Episode VIII, would helm the film.

The director has actually been attached to both films since last June, but was only confirmed to write and direct Episode VIII alone just last week. While the ninth Star Wars numbered film is still four years out, not to mention Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One and Josh Trank’s untitled 2018 Star Wars spinoff, a new rumor says that Disney wants to have none other than Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams return to be the film’s director.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is 10 months away from its December 18 release, and though production is already completed, we are still no closer to knowing what the film is about. Besides the teaser trailer released back in November; the extremely short character bios with the online trading cards; and that ball droid BB-8 is a practical Effect, most of what we think we know about the Star Wars sequel is based on the many rumors and supposed spoilers that have surfaced online. Now, director J.J. Abrams is coming out to say that “some” of the rumors are true.

In a recent interview, Abrams addresses those spoilers and understands why some people may read them. Hit the jump for the quotes.

This week, former The Drill Down co-host (and current co-host of TARDISBlend) Tom Cheredar joins Dwayne and Andy to discuss how hackers pulled off one of the largest heists in history, a toy from the 50s is updated for the 21st century, the FAA grounds Amazon‘s drone plans, and…is Apple building a self-driving car?

Simon Pegg, the star of movies like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz who plays Scotty in the most recent Star Trek movies, is set to co-write Star Trek 3 along with Dark Blue creator and writer Doug Jung.

Fast and Furious director Justin Lin recently took over as director on the movie, after J.J. Abrams moved on to Star Wars: The Force Awakens and previous director Roberto Orci exited the project. Both Abrams and Orci remain producers.

A Jedi and a Sith meet in a snowy field. The Jedi holds a box. The Sith wants to know what’s inside this box. The Jedi does not want to show them.

This, of course, is where the lightsabers come out for a good old ‘saber duel! At least that’s how it used to go down. Since the arrival of J.J. Abrams‘ slightly modified lightsaber in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, things have been different. Instead of an epic duel, the duo find themselves in a battle of style trying to determine who has the coolest, most unique lightsaber instead.

You can see what such an encounter might look like in the video below.
