The "Star Wars Episode 7" production team is doing everything in their power to keep director J.J. Abrams' work top secret, including blacking out windows of his office to keep curious eyes from stumbling across details about the set.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Abrams and his staff want to run a leak proof office to ensure no plot or casting details are released.
"My office... I'm working on the Star Wars script today and the people in my office have covered up all my windows with black paper...I guess they wanted to make sure no one could see what I was doing. It seems rather extreme," he told the Telegraph.
Abrams added there is no "purity" of watching a film in theaters for the first time when you have all of the information. The "Star Wars Episode 7" production team is trying to "preserve the unexpected" for the audience viewers.
"Star Wars is in every way a different animal. It's always been a more open, fan-engaged universe than I've been used to, so I'm sure there'll be some sort of compromise," Abrams told Telegraph. "But it feels to me like there's a purity in not knowing every little thing."
However, Abrams can't control the rumor mills from spinning out of control. The newest buzz surrounding "Episode 7" has to do with a love interest for Luke Skywalker from "Star Wars: Rebels."
The inside scoop comes from sources close to "Episode 7" production, according to StarWars7News.com.
"It can be said, that Rebels will introduce Mara Jade, into the film canon, sometimes appearing with the Inquisitor and she will be the living mother of Ben Skywalker," the insider told StarWars7News.com. "Episode seven takes place, in 30 ABY. Jacen, and Jaina will be to Ben what Han, and Leia were to Luke. Ben is around the same age as his cousins. Chewie will be alive, and this is an all new timeline from 4 ABY forward." (Click here to see an image Mara Jade)
"Star Wars Episode 7" is slated to hit theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.
