With J.J. Abrams and crew showing an otherworldly ability to keep their mouths shut about details to the upcoming "Star Wars: Episode VII" hearing that news might be getting leaked soon actually counts as news.
Multiple sources are reporting that a teaser trailer as well as casting and title announcement might be just around the corner, according to FirstShowing.net.
Ali Arikan, a film critic for DipnotTV, tweeted the following recently:
"So here's what I'm hearing about Episode VII, casting and title announcements are imminent, possibly today or tomorrow. But that's not all. I've heard word that there'll be an announcement trailer/teaser featuring Luke."
Devin Faraci of Badass Digest also tweeted that he thinks there are going to be some announcements regarding the highly anticipated film soon.
I think we're pretty close to some official STAR WARS announcements.

JediNews seems to disagree with those two opinions as they posted that a teaser will more than likely not appear until April of next year where it will be shown in front of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." JediNews also believes that the teaser will announce a release date of Nov. 11, 2015.
JediNews also doubts that any news will be released before Oct. 23. While they have heard from sources that casting announcements could be made on that day there are a few reasons that that date might not be ideal for such an announcement; Apple is supposed to be announcing a new product on Oct. 22 and Disney won't want to steal the Thor's thunder as "Thor: The Dark World" comes out the next week internationally, according to SlashFilm.com.
When a cast is announced it may or may not include Harrison Ford. According to ComicBook.com, Ford mentioned in an interview on "The Graham Norton Show" that he was still undecided about returning as Han Solo.
"I've not quite made the choice," Ford said when asked if he would be in "Star Wars: Episode VII."
Ford appeared alongside Benedict Cumberbatch, another actor who has been the subject of a huge amount of speculation regarding "Star Wars," on the talk show. What do you think the two of them were discussing in the green room?
HNGN will continue to pursue all of the information we can about the upcoming "Star Wars" movie as well as covering this weekend's New York Comic Con so be sure to check back often to keep up to date.
