VII Bits #3: September 26, 2014

It's a busy time for Star Wars Episode VII news and rumors, and sometimes smaller stories fall through the cracks. VII Bits is TFN's look at the Episode VII stories you might have missed.

• In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Oscar Isaac said Carrie Fisher is "doing such cool work" and Harrison Ford is "150 percent back" from his hiatus.
  
• Carrie Fisher praised the new Star Wars cast members and said "I am Leia and Leia is me" in an interview with Time Out London.
  
• According to Jedi News, Disney and Lucasfilm have registered two more production code names for Star Wars projects: Lunak Heavy Industries and Space Bear Industries.
  
• Indie Revolver has a first look at concept art for the new chrome stormtroopers.
  
• IR has also posted some concept art of a lightsaber duel on a snowy surface in front of the Millennium Falcon. It's impossible to say if this concept art translated into real Episode VII material, but it's certainly cool to look at either way.
  
• This is technically about the next one, but still: Rian Johnson told Terry Gilliam about Kathleen Kennedy's message to him as he prepares to write the script for Star Wars: Episode VIII.
