The new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer is upon us and sure packs a punch. We see lots of new things in here. First, we revisit Korath, the Pursuer confronting Peter Quill as he tries to steal some orb object. Among the things that follow are Starlord’s ship, Ronan the Accuser (who apparently has more than just a cameo in this movie), a little more of Nova Prime (Glenn Close) and the Nova Corps, Rocket Raccoon speaking, Knowhere (the disembodied head of a Celestial converted into a space port), a glimpse of a fight between Nebula and Gamora, Groot (Vin Diesel) speaking his notable catchphrase and finally, lest we forget, Rocket Raccoon adjusting himself.

Count all of these among the things I thought I would never see in a movie theater.

Guardians of the Galaxy will be rocking your world starting August 1st, 2014!

StarWars.com had some announcements for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII film.

Regarding the cast:

“Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.”

Regarding John Williams and the release date:

“Star Wars: Episode VII is being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.”

While its great to finally have confirmation on the cast and release date, the new revelations have been met with some disappointment at the near absence of any new women.

This announcement comes on the heels of news that the Star Wars expanded universe from the novels and other media, will not be acknowledged by any of the forthcoming movies. Instead, the expanded universe will live on under the banner of Star Wars: Legends. The movie canon will only be respecting the existing 6 movies and the Clone Wars television series.

“In order to give maximum creative freedom to the filmmakers and also preserve an element of surprise and discovery for the audience, Star Wars Episodes VII-IX will not tell the same story told in the post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe. While the universe that readers knew is changing, it is not being discarded. Creators of new Star Wars entertainment have full access to the rich content of the Expanded Universe. For example, elements of the EU are included in [upcoming animated series] Star Wars Rebels.”
