Finally, indeed. Also, apparently he tweeted that at 3 a.m. London time; Closing down the pub? In any case, this is probably the biggest tweet day I’ve seen since Disney bought Lucasfilm. How far we’ve come.

Just thought about how there was a Felicity episode about waiting in line for Phantom Menace and now Abrams is directing Episode VII. Neat!

Most of the names were already strongly rumoured/nailed-on, but Serkis and Gleeson came from nowhere and I'M SO BLOODY EXCITED! #StarWarsVII

Guardians of the Galaxy has more female characters in the main cast than #StarWars, and it co-stars a tree and a talking raccoon.
