Star Wars Episode VII News is getting a new name, and a domain change! Read on for details…

Well, times change and so must we.

For the past three years, Star Wars Episode VII News has brought you all the latest rumors, spoilers and speculation that we could find about the upcoming Star Wars sequel, The Force Awakens. Now, with Opening Day just a shade over two months away, it’s time for us to look to the future. Since time grows short as far as there being further news scoops to report about TFA, it’s time for us to change our moniker.

We had considered simply switching gears in the most obvious way and just becoming Star Wars Episode VIII News. But that would have been self-limiting, on top of which we’ve tended more and more to expand our coverage beyond the next Star Wars film anyway. Therefore, we decided that our new name should take that into account and illustrate that broader scope.

Henceforth, we shall be known as… Star Wars News Net, or for short – SWNN.

Our new slogan, “A Force For News”, will further reflect our commitment to providing scoops not just about the next Star Wars film, but about all of the various and sundry Star Wars projects that are coming down the pike.

Thank you all for being such an important part of what we’ve been doing here at SWNN since we first began the site three years ago. Our name may be changing, but we’ll still be the same growing circle of friends. Like you, we’re all really excited about the continued expansion of the world of Star Wars and all of the new tales that we’re going to experience in the years to come. We hope you’ll continue to take that ride with us!

Please let us know what you think about our new name and logo in the comments below. Keep in mind that after the domain migration some things might now work properly, we’re checking everything, and we’re still tweaking stuff. If you notice any issues please let us know below.

In a few days you will witness the power of our fully operational mobile site. Also in the beginning of November, as many fans requested, we will be revealing our new SWNN t-shirts. We also have some other plans that we will announce in the future. 🙂
