    I was just visiting the official movie website, www.starwars.com/theforceawakens. Do you all remember when the 'planet' popped up into existence in the far right corner of the website as you drag your cursor across the screen? Well now there appears to be a new addition to the site, or maybe just a glitch.

    Just above the "R" in STAR, you will notice two objects mixed in with the stars, and to me they look like small galaxy dots, not stars. They do not move as you drag the screen, but the stars around them do. They also cover up stars as they cross through their path. Now there is also a smaller one above them (if you draw a straight line from the two to the top of the screen. When this one is moved on the screen, there is flickering, almost like a space battle is taking place.

    Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just looking too far into it?

    Yeah I remember , my first find.
    Great catch did you notice what happens when you move your mouse on one of those, you get moved to star wars.

    EDIT oh wait that happens with many stars.

    The bottom one moves you to "Star Wars" and the second one above it moves you to the "Gallery"

    Hm, I'm not seeing it, well at least not exactly as described.

    I do see what looks like two galaxy discs well above the "R" in "Star", and they're each well away from each other at that. They also move with the rest of the stars. I thought I saw something that remained stationary, but it was just dust on my screen.

    I also saw what I think is the one you describe flicker when you look at the one following a line made by the previous two, but it flickered just once as if it was a graphics glitch.

    Mind you: I'm using a pretty crappy work monitor, so maybe I'm missing something.


    Also on the moving thing, it seems like it's just a timeout function to me, in which if one remains "stationary" on some point away from the Star Wars logo, it'll just move you to whatever is closest to that point, be it the Star Wars logo, the gallery, etc.

    EDIT: Tinkering with the "forced movement" a bit more, on my end it seems like there are certain ranges and areas in which it'll send you to the main logo or the other areas, or not at all. But they seem like basic bubble areas as opposed to anything specific.
