Comicbook.com has also spotted trademarks have been filed for both starwarstheforceawakens.com and theforceawakens.com.

Plot details remain scarce, which shouldn’t be surprise considering director J.J. Abram’s history. We know that series veterans Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford are making their return, but beyond that we’re still waiting to hear further information.

Hopefully I don’t have to sit through an entire episode of The O.C. to wait for a trailer this time around.
And it wasn’t even the first season of The O.C. That was the only one you could call enjoyable.
