    I want to say yes lol. I think with the news seeming to "grow" more than any other piece of rumor/news we have gotten since Episode VII was announced this one is spreading quickly. And LFL not denying it makes me think that it's true. So they won't do it on a Holiday I don't think. So I could see them doing it tomorrow. They announced Episode VII-IX on Tuesday.

    Another little thing is they changed the HTML title of their news page:

    I say this as someone who hopes not to see any EU in the films, all of you on both sides need to let it go. So tired of the doom and gloom speeches on mere rumors.

    It's not that much to go off of given that at the moment the tab states it's the page for Episode 7. :p

    Recall the Episode VII casting call:
    Thirtysomething male, intellectual. Apparently doesn’t need to be fit.

    That'll be Cumberbatch if he's cast. It does fit, to be honest.

    That has been like that for a while. Periodically I go there check the address : http://starwars.com/explore/the-movies/episode-vi/. I add an "i" at the end to make it "vii"to see if they ever mess up and put something up.

    That must be recent. On the screenshot I just took there isn't a mention of Episode 7 on the tab or page headings, only in some of the articles....

    It is also worth noting the lack of the news pane on the homepage... it oddly disappeared a few days ago.

    Remember KK said 2014 will be he year for SW. Not much news for SW before then was the implication.

    Alright, we're getting a little over the top in analyzing and speculating if we're dissecting the HTML of StarWars.com.

    It's a different tab heading for the actual news page... but yeah I see what your talking about now. Also note the News pane is missing on that page. That is the most odd thing.

    Funnily enough, these sort of seemingly harmless tidbit finds sometimes lead to very interesting revelations :D

    I don't even particularly want Thrawn in the ST, I was saying that just because he is doesn't make it a rehash. It's awful nice of you to assume things about me not letting go.

    I remember in the batforums during the TDKR times we would have people who would hack into WB/TDKR websites in order to find out when the website would update and the suprises behind virals. We need to find those people and see if they can find out if the Star wars website is going to be updated and if its something already written *like all they need to do is just press publish* then what it is. ;)

    Well, I must admit, his voice does scream "Sith Lord". Still, I think a good twist would be to see him start out as a Jedi and then show him fall, but if the rumours are true it appears as though he will be a Sith through and through.

    I'm not exactly an expert in HTML... but I'm having a little look now. The picture of Obi Wan with the quote replacing the news pane is really odd. I just can't put my finger on why it's there.
    Edit: Just to clarify I'm not hacking, just snooping the HTML code, looking for anything odd.

    The governments of the world need to unite. Not to bring about world peace, but to set up an extra special secret service to spy on all things in Disney that are Star Wars related. The IBSWI.

    The source code has a lot of variations of the phrase "starwars-2013-home-redesign_" like this [line 49]:

    <div id="topnavLogo"><a href="/" class="swGaAnchor" data-ga_action="starwars-2013-home-redesign_topnavdesktopswlogo"><img src="/home/img/topnav_swlogo.png" /></a></div>

    Its crazy how back and forth it is about this Cumberbatch rumor. Some sites saying "Yeah its going to happen" while others saying "No I got a denial". We need a 100% confirmation or denial soon! I'm going insane! 8-}

    Apparently the hold up is that Cumberbatch still has a scheduling conflict that he has to resolve before he can sign.

    What we need is Doctor Who to go into the future get all of the info on Star Wars Episode 7 and bring it back to us, hell why not go farther into the future and bring us all the info for 8,9, 10, 11 , 12 and all the stand alone movie, better yet screw all the information how about he goes and gets all the blu-ray or green-ray, red-ray or whatever the next video format would be for all of the movies so we can watch them ourselves and not have to wait for anything.
