Rumors about the upcoming "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" keep mounting. "Star Wars" official website recently updated its databanks by adding descriptions to some characters, vehicles and locations. The updates confirm rumors that the movie will feature an ultimate weapon that is much stronger than the Death Star.
Detailing the Starkiller Base, the website hints that the base is equipped with a weapon that is even more powerful than the Death Star. "An ice planet converted into a stronghold of the First Order and armed with a fiercely destructive new weapon capable of destroying entire star systems," so reads the description of the Starkiller Base.
There is no information about how the weapon will work to destroy the star, but it is sure that the weapon won't just be capable of destroying a planet, but an entire star system. It seems like the Resistance fighters are going to face a much bigger threat than Luke and his pals did in the original trilogy.
"The Force Awakens" brings back Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker and Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. Also in the cast are Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis and Domhnall Gleeson. The sci-fi movie is set for a U.S. release on December 18.
