We now have our first teaser for Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens which will open in theaters December 18, 2015. Not much is given away in the the short glimpse we get here although we do see fleeting images of Daisy Ridley, the new-look Stormtroopers (including John Boyega), the Millennium Falcon, and the rising of the Sith (from which we get the cool, but rather impractical, new lightsaber and the film’s tile). Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens opens in theaters on December 18, 2015.

Picking up directly following the events in “Empire Day,” the Ghost is able to escape the Empire in the latest episode of Star Wars Rebels keeping Ezra‘s (Taylor Gray) old friend Tseebo, and the vast amount of Imperial knowledge rolling around his head, safe from the Empire.

Star Wars Rebels - Empire Day

Doctor Who - Death in Heaven

The end of Peter Capaldi‘s first season as The Doctor ends not with a bang but a whimper. In a storyline that puts the entire world at risk from a resurrected Master and an army of Cybermen rising from the dead writer Steven Moffat constantly cheats the audience with a story that never sums up the courage to sacrifice what’s required to make the finale work.

Super Secret Crisis War #5With the heroes unwilling to surrender, Aku continues to send his army of robot duplicates to pound the Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Ben Tennyson, and Dexter into submission while ordering Mandark to make good on the League of Extraordinary Villains‘ threat by destroying one of the heroes’ worlds should they fail to surrender.

Given Aku’s apparent disdain for his contributions to the cause, and believing his world has been targeted (which will make it impossible to rule if destroyed), Mojo Jojo switches sides and attempts to help the heroes stop Aku’s plans.
