insidemovies.ew.com by Josh Rottenberg : When it comes to the future of the Star Wars franchise, overheated Internet rumors outnumber solid news stories by a considerable margin. As Yoda would say, “Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.” Some of the noisiest speculation has centered on the prospect of original trilogy stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher returning for Star Wars: Episode VII. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Hamill—who dropped the first tantalizing hints about his potential involvement to EW last October—confirmed that discussions about…

I just attended the Wizard World Portland Comic Con and was pleasantly surprised all three days were filled with enough excitement to fill the convention center. I am not sure what the final attendance numbers were but for a main event in a city the size Portland, Oregon it was very crowded.

Wizard World has the pull to bring many of the big names in entertainment and pop culture…
