<p>Ditto.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't care if Hamill and Fisher are carrying a little more weight in their older years. People generally tend to do that and any new Star Wars fan won't care anyway.</p>

<p>Hopefully the lens flare is for the Trek and not the Wars!</p> -

Poor form.</p>

<p>Ah fuck, I don't know all the freaking nerd/geek rules! Apparently GoT can be mentioned. Apologies ... I hope my point can stand though?</p> -
Just saw an ad for a new cartoon on Disney XT about the birth of the Rebel Alliance. Certainly gave me a semi. Hopefully Disney will make some movies based on this period. To tell you the truth im not really looking forward to seeing Han, Luke and Lea with their walking frames.

Luke in the Obi Wan style role will work, not sure about the other two. Fisher has been losing weight apparently. <br /><br />Just adding energy into the new Star Wars will be an improvement. And the main criticism of the new Trek is that it's too much like Star Wars, so there is that. <br /><br />Rumours of Boba Fett and Han Solo standalone movies too<br /><br />Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk<br /><br />

<p>Some of the extended universe stuff in books is really good. If XII is set 30 years post ROTJ then they have obviously discarded the lot.</p>

<p>Yeah, I see some of the fans of that stuff are going mental but I'm pretty happy for that stuff to get wiped away. Especially crap like Luke turning to the dark side, or Emperor clones.</p> -

<p>Does Luke turn to the dark side? That would almost put me off seeing the new movies. I would hate my memory of Luke tarnished like that.</p> -

<p>In some of the extended universe crap that's being ignored he does. They haven't finished the script on the new movie yet, so nobody knows what the new story is about.</p> -

<p>Was that authorized by Lucas or some geeky fanboy's dreamed up story?</p> -
<p>Any of the published EU stuff had to have storylines approved by Lucas. He has always maintained though, that there are two 'truths'. The Films and the books.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I doubt any of the post ROTJ novels stuff will come through in VII. Being set 30 years down the track would need far too much explanation of what happened in the years inbetween otherwise.</p> -
<p>Not sure if this has been mentioned but Tom Cruise has been linked Star Wars. Please god, No. </p>

<p>I thought he was good in Oblivion and Edge of Tomorrow, he couldn't possibly be more irritating than Jar Jar Binks.</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Just a rumour because he had dinner with JJ (who he's worked with before). I doubt he would be recognisable if he did do a cameo, it would just take the audience out of the film too much.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cruise the actor is pretty good, and does sci fi well. Would have no problem him playing an imperial commander or something.</p> -
<p>Jeez how the fuck have I missed this thread ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But yeah, interested to see how things pan out. The EU stuff has to be approved by Lucas and in that I believe Luke does in fact turn to the dark side. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher both look like hammered shit but Harrison has aged pretty well and Chewie, threepio and R2 will be hidden in suits. Problem solved.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm going through a cool phase of watching the first six with MN5 jrs ( 4 and 6 ) and warding off all sorts of questions. I think the most vexing is when Obi Wan says to Luke ( in ep 4 ) that "your father wanted you to have this".....I may have missed it but in between dismembering him and leaving him to burn I don't recall Obi Wan saying "Oh by the way Annie, your sabre still works fine, want me to give it to your unborn kid?" "Yeah good idea, the sabre had cauterized my wounds but I'm still burning up, have you got any aloe vera?"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They're also disappointed that Obi Wan and Yodes didn't have another crack at the Emperor instead of fucking off to bumfuck shit hole planets ( Dagobah, seriously ???? )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd really love to see some compelling bad guys ( Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Grievious and Jango Fett were awesome additions, lets hope for more ) equally compelling good guys ( Annie and Luke were both fucken whiny for such powerful beings ) cool ground battles to rival the Hoth battle ( but NOT cutesy Ewok battles ) and well.....I wanna see a movie I can get fucken excited about and take the boys to. A bit of pressure on Disney, hope then can do it.....</p>
