After a brief hiatus, the ForceCast is back with a look at the international trailer, TV spots, and Entertainment Weekly articles. What does the international trailer reveal about Rey? What does Finn know about Luke? How much will Poe Dameron be involved? What are Maz Kanata's abilities? Lively debates about these story elements and more on this week's ForceCast.

The full-length The Force Awakens trailer has arrived, and we give our first impressions and burning questions. Does it make sense that Finn or Rey wouldn't know what the Jedi were? Why aren't there many aliens in the trailer? Who, if anyone, is the Skywalker child in this movie? Why do the Knights of Ren have such a limiting dress code? For more, join us next week for Q&A.

Once upon a time, Star Wars was ruled by a "benevolent dictator" of sorts: George had the creative vision, and George ran the company. Now, however, both business decisions and creative direction involve collaboration. Join us this week as we look at how this new paradigm is shaping the future of Lucasfilm!

When's the new trailer coming? Does it even matter at this point? Join us as we talk about the anticipation (and apathy?) about the new trailer. Also, Rebels returns! Catch these topics and more in this episode of The ForceCast!

We're back! We've got a few episodes to catch up with, and in this first one, we go over the 360-degree Jakku video, thoughts on Aftermath, and the latest comics!

Yes, Paul does sound creepy when he whispers. Fortunately, the stars of the upcoming film sound great, and we talk a bit about accents and dialects.

Are you finishing Star Wars: Aftermath right away, or are you slowly savoring the experience? This week, we talk about our Aftermath experiences, we look at some interesting information provided by the database at StarWars.com, and we discuss box office predictions and concerns about The Force Awakens. Oh, and Paul straightens Erik out about his Tatooine hate! Don't miss this week's ForceCast!

What can we learn from the Rogue One cast photo? Megan, Paul, and John take a close look at the characters and actors revealed at D23, as well as thoughts on Rogue One in general. Is the new cast up to the task? Will the anthology films confuse the mainstream audience expecting the next episode in the main saga? Will Colin Trevorrow be able to pull off such a drastically different Star Wars film? We tackle these concerns and much more in this episode of The ForceCast!
