I'm OK with it... As long as it doesn't in any way ruin his role in Return of the Jedi as the villain-father redemption. That scene was so powerful.

Oh, and also.. Don't, for the love of all that is Star Wars, use Hayden Christensen as Vader... Please don't Disney!
Call up James Earl Jones, if he is some sort of force-ghost, and use his voice. Now that would be awesome.

It may be owned by Disney, but I simply CANNOT WAIT for this!! :woot: Been a Star Wars fan since about 1982 (was born in '78), and I've been a fan ever since, although the "newer" ones just weren't as good as the "older" ones, to me anyway. (Bet you can't tell I'm a Star Wars fan...did I mention I'm a Star Wars fan? LOL!) :p

So hoping this isn't true it would be ridiculous to say the least.

i could see a storyline that Luke trains Leia and Solo's kid to be a jedi.....sounds cheesy but that's how the first two trilogies started out a new or future(prospective like anakin) jedi being trained

I liked the orginal 3. The new ones were totally crapola. Not looking forward to this at all.

My hopes for Star Trek VII are the same as Windows 8: a total, utter failure on the marketplace.

Star Trek: Generations isn't so bad, you should probably check it out, It's been out for over a decade. :shifty:

Frank Marshall Says STAR WARS Director Search Down to a Couple of Candidates; Joe Johnston Comments on Helming EPISODE VII

Speaking with MTV News, Marshall revealed that he’s got the inside scoop on what’s going on with the director search, but he’s unable to reveal anything:

Quote

“I do [have some inside info on the director] but I can’t reveal it, or I won’t be alive tomorrow.”

Marshall did say, however, that the search has been whittled down to “a couple of candidates, but I don’t know how soon that will be revealed.”

Spurned by a recent editorial by Movies.com editor Erik Davis in which Johnston was heralded as a great choice to helm Episode VII, Huffington Post reached out to the director for his thoughts on directing “it”:

Quote

“A lot would depend on what ‘it’ is. I am very glad to see LucasFilm cranking up to get productive again, regardless of who ends up doing it.”

Probably the biggest question fans have about the new Star Wars movies coming our way is: Will they bring back characters from the original trilogy? Well, it seems Mark Hamill - who played the hero of the saga, Luke Skywalker, in those first three films - has a few questions of his own that need answering before he'll commit to anything. E UK caught up with the actor at the premiere of his new movie, Sushi Girl. "We have questions about it," said Hamill, speaking for himself and Carrie Fischer. "And really, they're not even at the stage where they're able to answer those questions because, as far as I know, is there a story yet? Until I know more about what they have in mind, I think it's better to let Lucas Film make the announcements." Hamill was then asked about the possibility of another actor taking over the role - perhaps playing a slightly younger version of the character. "If they were going to do a story where Luke was too young or too old for me to play, they would get an age appropriate actor," he said. "There's so many good people."

It sounds like he's not too excited about being in it to me.

@The King of GnG: Star Trek VII? lol

anyways, i hope it's not some EU crap... i mean in one of those Chewbacca dies or something. Disgusting.
Also Vader could return, in ghost shape, like Obiwan did in SWEPIV.
