The massive, ruined Star Destroyer in the Jakku desert might be the strongest image Star Wars: The Force Awakens has. It's a perfect encapsulation of the film's themes and history. And watching this YouTuber build his own is just as mesmerising.

Back when it came out, Star Wars: The Force Awakens played like a straightforward homage to 1977's Star Wars. It was plenty fun, but wasn't all that deep. Now that I've seen its follow-up, The Last Jedi, The Force Awakens seems a lot more interesting.

One of the best things about Star Wars: The Last Jedi is that it solves several mysteries raised by The Force Awakens, but it also presents plenty of its own. Here are all the questions we had after we watched The Last Jedi -- as well as our educated guesses as to their answers.

There is nothing Star Wars canon loves more than relentlessly filling in the gaps between the movies. But sometimes there are pretty big questions left by the films that need explaining... like Marvel's latest comic answering how Phasma survived being tossed in the garbage on the exploding Starkiller Base to appear in The Last Jedi.

At Star Wars Celebration this year, IDW announced Star Wars Adventures, a new all-ages take on the galaxy far, far away, distinct from Marvel's Star Wars comic book offerings. That distinction is continuing with a new, stylised take on The Force Awakens, and we have a new look inside.

PCs come in all shapes and sizes, but none of those forms include Rey's Speeder from the second-most recent Star Wars film. Crafted by Brian Carter, the case mod does more than just look great -- it works great too.

The firing of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller from the Han Solo movie feels like it could be a turning point for the rejuvenated Star Wars. We're learning a lot more about what Lucasfillm feels is acceptable within its universe and what isn't. The problem is that what's acceptable looks to be very, very narrow.

Han Solo says you should never fuck with a Wookie because they will rip your arm off, and now we've got proof. Ouch.

The sad reality of any celebrity passing is that we have to ask how their death will impact any ongoing work in the future. In the case of Carrie Fisher, that means the continuing Star Wars saga, Episodes VIII and IX.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens shows us another side of one of the movie's pivotal moments in the new Siege of Takodana DLC. Join Kylo Ren and his Stormtrooper pals as they blow up a perfectly good sci-fi theme restaurant.

Crash-landing on Jakku after escaping The Finalizer, rebellious Stormtrooper FN-2187 fears his newfound Resistance friend dead. But Poe Dameron survived to fight another day, and the latest LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens DLC explains how. It's pretty dumb.

Video: So, so many years after his now-famous reviews of the Star Wars prequels, Mr Plinkett returns with some (well, many) thoughts on The Force Awakens. Among other things.

While he's one of the more impressive creature costumes in The Force Awakens, Grummgar spends his entire on-screen time sitting on the couch. Unlike this cosplay, which can get up and move around and do space mercenary stuff wherever the hell it wants.

Sharing screen time with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy in Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Lego J.J. Abrams adds troop command and blaster marksmanship to his already impressive resume.

After two LEGO Star Wars games covering a movie trilogy each, can Star Wars: The Force Awakens carry an entire LEGO game by itself? Not without a lot of help.

Star Wars Episode VII's main story is great and all, but have you heard about how dashing Resistance pilot Poe Dameron and C3PO saved rescued Admiral Ackbar from a First Order Star Destroyer? Let me tell you all about it.

Video: The Star Wars: Rogue One trailer was released on April 7. That's less than a month ago, and already, a team of fans have gone and made something that actual LEGO game developers Traveller's Tales would be proud of.

Episode VII left fans with many unanswered questions. How did Lor San Tekka get part of Luke's map? What were Han and Chewie doing alone on a ship full of deadly Rathtar? The answers to these and other burning questions arrive next month in LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

We get a lot of Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren cosplay around here, but master props builder Shawn Thorsson has turned his eye towards one of the cooler and more obscure designs from Force Awakens: the new TIE pilots.
