Rumor Alert: J.J. Abrams Wants Release Date Moved Forward For Star Wars: The Force Awakens

The website iKwiz is reporting that J.J. Abrams has asked Disney to consider moving the release date for Star Wars: The Force Awakens to earlier in 2015 rather than stay with their slated December 18th 2015 release date.
"J.J. Abrams has reportedly approached Disney about moving up the Star Wars: The Force Awakens release date. This comes from the mouth of Abrams himself, addressing a group of attendees at a recent industry event, the 2015 Visual Effects Society Awards… this is awards season after-all. Apparently, his desire for secrecy does not apply in this case, as he openly expressed his frustration about the Episode VII leaks."
I would be surprised if Disney moved the date. Such a drastic move would have a ripple effect with everything tied to it. Can you imagine a Star Wars movie release with no toys on the shelves? Oh the horror!
