For a longtime sci-fi fan like Brad Paisley, rumblings about big movie happenings always make for potentially exciting news, and with word in the media last week from Star Wars creator George Lucas fueling speculation that fans may see some of their favorite original cast members returning in the next film installment — the J.J. Abrams-directed Star Wars: Episode VII (seven), due in 2015 — that’s definitely the kind of sci-fi buzz that Brad loves to hear. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

“Oh, man, the new Star Wars movie is…I Google it about once a week to see if there’s any news. I just want to know what’s gonna happen, and I got friends at Disney, so I’ll be keepin’ track of it as much as they’ll let me in on what’s happening. I love the idea of it. There can never be too many Star Wars movies.”
