Even when you live in Los Angeles, as I do, if you’re not in the network of critics groups and press screening and screener DVDs it can be a challenge to keep up with everything you tell yourself you have to see before attempting an informed roundup of the year currently in the rearview mirror. And I also try to not let more than a couple of weeks of the new year go by before checking in, regardless of how many of the year’s big presents I have left to unwrap, though in past years I have not lived well by this dictum—let’s just say that if I’m still posting stuff on the year’s best after even Oscar has thoroughly chewed over the goods, as has happened in the past, well, I’ve overstayed my welcome.

This post has been updated. Update at the bottom.
This week was one of those weeks filled with exciting Star Wars rumors. Oh, and there was also a leak of an art book for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story that you’d think would have shown up everywhere but (apparently) Disney was super mad about how disseminated it got.
You know how I’ve occasionally bemoaned how much more difficult it’s been to find out information about new Star Wars movies since we ripped open Tfa with drones and a ton of leaked concept art? Well the force field is cracking a bit. It’s not ruinous, but it’s exciting! Especially the rumor about a big battle in Star Wars: Episode VIII - Space Bear!
Oh, and we might not have to call it Space Bear for much longer. Our beloved nickname comes from the production title,...

Jj Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan are to rewrite Star Wars: Episode VII.
They are taking over the screenwriting duties from Little Miss Sunshine writer Michael Arndt, who is exiting the project.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said of the change: "I am very excited about the story we have in place and thrilled to have Larry and Jj working on the script.
"There are very few people who fundamentally understand the way a Star Wars story works like Larry, and it is nothing short of incredible to have him even more deeply involved in its return to the big screen. Jj of course is an incredible storyteller in his own right.
"Michael Arndt has done a terrific job bringing us to this point and we have an amazing filmmaking and design team in place already prepping for production."
Kasdan also co-wrote The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He...

There was once a rumor, for an upcoming movie titled "The Empire Strikes Back," that Han Solo -- not known for his lightsaber skills -- would find himself in a duel with Darth Vader. During this duel, the two combatants' lightsabers would become fused, with an end result of Han and Vader's "life forces" combining -- creating quite the conundrum for Luke Skywalker. (If Luke kills Vader, then he would also kill his friend Han.)
There was also another rumor about "The Empire Strikes Back": Mick Jagger would compose the score.
Obviously, those outlandish rumors never happened -- but they are the kind of crazy development story that one might find on the Internet today. If you don't believe me, maybe go back and check out some of those "The Dark Knight Rises" rumors. In the late 1970s, however, there was no Internet to accelerate or decelerate unfounded rumors such as the examples above.
