I'm sorry but that leg brace looks fn hilarious!

There will be no MO-Capture Han Solo. J.J. would never go that route.

Maybe instead of searching for Luke, they could search for Han? Or, Han and Luke are both missing and Leia and their children need to find them?

or just wait till he can walk proper and film it with the current script.

Ah, one more idea. Maybe its time Lumpy steps up and helps his Dad find Han and Luke?

The droids. I think R2 could carry the entire film.

He ROCKS!

I'm sure there's plenty that they can film of him from the waist up too.

Carrie Fisher’s daughter Billie Lourd, 21, will play a young Princess Leia in Disney’s “Star Wars: Episode VII.” She will be featured in flashbacks.

Why would we need a flashback of Leia? Maybe if we're lucky good ol' JJ (

) will give us a flashback of R2D2 when he was just a battery.

yeah, I take nothing he says seriously. he lost credibility with his prequel comments.

It would be great if they could get Natalie Portman to do a cameo with a young Leia in a flashback scene to explain away how Leia remembers her mother from Jedi.

Maybe get Ewen McGregor to do a quick cameo also to explain Obi Wan's dementia in A New Hope when he lies to Luke and can't remember Leia in Empire.

So we can assume there will be lots of flashbacks. The movie is going to be like: Leia to somebody: "You know what? I remember when something similar happened to me. I remember it just like it was yesterday.............."

As much as I would like to see Natalie Portman return, we already saw he with baby Leia so there's no need for there to be a flashback scene, it would literally just be a copy and paste job from ROTS.

I hope not!

Nightrunner · 07-02-2014, 04:17 PM

We all have something we hated about the prequels. What is done is done. At the time, I really enjoyed them. Over time, I have nit-picked them so much.

One gripe I have, that I never read anywhere, 'How could the Jedi Council not know about Anakin and Padme's marriage?'

Yoda was so in tuned with 'young Skywalker' and Obi-Wan was his master. You mean to tell me Yoda could only sense the bad things?

: Night time Coruscant:

Master Yoda turns over in his sleep and sees a vision of young Skywalker and the Senator from Naboo mooie mooie excited. He thinks to himself, "That face you make...when 900 years old you get, doubt you I will, be able to do that again without help from the Force."

:end scene:

They had to know. It would be like having relations in your parents home when they were in the next room. They would know.

nagysaudio · 07-02-2014, 04:20 PM

Flashbacks, dream scenes, exposition are all to be avoided like the plague according to scriptwriting 101. Kasdan should know better!

stvn1974 · 07-02-2014, 04:33 PM

The single dumbest thing in the prequels was the fact that Anakin destroyed the Jedi and ushered in a dictatorship because he had a bad dream about Padme dying in childbirth. If he was so concerned about her dying wouldn't he take her to a doctor? But no, if they did that they would find out they were having twins. DOH!

I hope the writing on these new films is better. But I think a monkey with a typewriter could do better than Lucas.
