I think the Death Star waffle maker is cool, but if I bought it's mostly likely something that I use only once.

Meh. Pancakes > Waffles.

Nah, they're just simpler, since you don't need special equipment. I mean, aren't they actually pretty much the same thing, ingredient-wise?

Well, yes, it's the same batter. You don't need a waffle iron for pancakes, though... and waffles are crispy. I prefer pancakes.

Ahead of its release next month, Star Wars: The Force Awakens was shown to a terminally ill fan.

Daniel Fleetwood, who was diagnosed in July with a rare form of cancer called spindle cell sarcoma, was told he had two months to live. In order to grant Fleetwood his dying wish, a Twitter campaign dubbed #ForceforDaniel was created.

Thanks to support from actors Mark Hamill and John Boyega, the campaign grabbed the attention of director J.J. Abrams, who reached out to Fleetwood and had an unedited version of the film screened for him at this home.

Daniel's partner Ashely shared the news in a post on Facebook,

Aw! I probably wouldn't have been able to have purchased it anyway.

It's a tough one to justify unless you eat a lot of waffles and happen to need a new waffle maker.

i must have missed it than and if that is snoke its very interesting i also still think the staff rey is carrying and being advertised with is plaguises. i also have a theory on kylos lightsaber and why it looks the way it does maybe perhaps his saber is a key to unlock the rumored tomb luke is supposedly protecting? i mean if the pt is canon than that means its possible plaguise could have fucked with his midechlorians and managed to not fully die. apparently plaugise being a munn is now non canon so its possible he can be a new species

Well I do love waffles, so it leaves in a bit of a tight spot. Nah, probably not.

i like the sound of this direction and i assume after reading this this makes not just jedi but the war 40 years before this film a myth to a generation who was not raise din it



J.J. Abrams Talks Luke Skywalker’s Mythic Status in Star Wars: The Force Awakens



We’ve heard a lot about the characters of Star Wars: The Force Awakens these past few days, but there’s one that has been on everyone’s mind given his lack of appearances in the marketing so far – Luke Skywalker. Speaking with EW, director J.J. Abrams opened up about how Luke’s path in the context of the film was a big draw for him to direct, namely how everyone else in the movie sees Luke.

“It was the thing that struck me the hardest, which was the idea that doing a story that took place nearly 40 years after Jedi meant that there would be a generation for whom Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia would be as good as myth,” Abrams says. “They’d be as old and as mythic as the tale of King Arthur. They would be characters who they may have heard of, but maybe not. They’d be characters who they might believe existed, or just sounded like a fairy tale.”

He goes on to use Daisy Ridley’s Rey as an example, what would a scavenger that lives along on a desolate planet think of the man the helped bring down the Empire all those decades ago?

“To someone who is living alone and struggling without a formal education or support system, who knows what that person in the literal middle of nowhere would have ever heard about any of these things, or would ever know, and how much that person would have to infer and piece together on their own,” Abrams says. “So the idea that someone like that would begin to learn that the Jedi were real, and that the Force exists, and that there’s a power in the universe that sounds fanciful but is actually possible, was an incredibly intriguing notion.”

As revealed earlier this week, John Boyega’s Finn knows very well who Luke Skywalker is thanks to his Stormtrooper training, but the journey of the film is what will make him potentially change his mind, especially after he gets a hold of Luke’s original lightsaber.

“For Finn, he’s been raised from the ashes of the Empire,” says Boyega. “He’s been taught about Luke Skywalker, he knows about his history. For him it’s like joining the army and then learning about one of the great enemies of your country. It has that effect on him. But in terms of the Force, and the magical stuff that happens, that is the point where Finn kind of questions what is what. What is the Force, what part does Luke Skywalker play in all of this?”

Opening in theaters on December 18, 2015, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is set 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, and features a new generation of swashbuckling heroes and shadowy villains, as well as the return of fan-favorite smugglers, princesses, and Jedi.
