STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS - J.J. Abrams Teases Details About the Starkiller Base



Cue the "That's no moon..." comment.

When the official STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS movie poster was released, it was pretty obvious that a newer and more advanced version of a Death Star was going to be in the film. This newer version of a Death Star is officially called the Starkiller Base and writer/director J.J. Abrams teased some details about it in his interview with Entertainment Weekly.

“It is very much — and it’s acknowledged as such in the movie — apparently another Death Star. But what it’s capable of, how it works, and what the threat is, is far greater than what the Death Star could have done. Starkiller Base is another step forward, technologically speaking, in terms of power.”

Now cue the comment about the Starkiller Base hopefully not having a small thermal exhaust port.
