too early to say what the new movies will be like. personally, i am surprised they are aiming for 2015. one thing i think we can agree on is that the look will be more "realistic" as i doubt they will be as cg heavy as Lucas was. they won't want to spend a fortune on it even if they will make their money back so i bet more real sets, not quite as elaborate, etc. good part is that will fit with the story since it is after the fall of the empire.

Hell no with Mathew Vaughn, First Class looks like it was made for the SyFy channel and on top full of unmemorable characters.

What do you mean with "fans overall"? They were and still are a minority within the Star Wars fanbase.

Why? Because they don't share your opinion? Who are you to think that your opinion is above everyone else?

In your opinion. Not a fact.

How ironic. It's bashing comments that I see everywhere whenever a Star Wars/Lucas-related article, video or whatever is released. And insulting others just because they don't share your opinion only shows how immature you are, and without any credibility.

Who should direct the next George Lucas movie?....RON HOWARD!

(I'm just sayin': Had you ever heard of Irvin Kirschner or Richard Marquand either?

)

I will take Vaughn over Lucas any day

From all those prequels, Lucas doesn't know how to use all his creative talents to make a cohesive and compelling story.

Lucas pulled the "vault" strategy multiple times with Star Wars over the decades, and Indiana Jones.

Yea, same here.

They could also do one from the 'A New Hope' too.

I also think that Dave Filoni would be an excellent choice...he's been doing some really good stuff with the Clone Wars animated series.

why this cant get a movie is beyond me

beckmen · 11-06-2012, 04:01 AM

Is that even remotely in the game? Also, if The Force Unleashed has as crappy of a story as its sequel, it needs a lot of work to be a good movie. The only thing TFU has is the visuals, with Mr. Somehow More Powerful Than Anakin Super-Jedi kicking everything's ass.

Look outside and see the pigs are indeed flying.

Harrison Ford has said he is open to being Han Solo in Star Wars 7:

Quote:

Harrison Ford is open to the idea of bringing Han Solo back to life on the silver screen in 2015, according to sources close to the just-announced Star Wars sequel, but don’t be surprised if his contract includes a mandatory death scene for the sly old space smuggler.

“Harrison is open to the idea of doing the movie and he’s upbeat about it, all three of them are,” said one highly placed source, referring to Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher, the trio that made a hyper-speed jump to global fame on May 25, 1977, the opening night for George Lucas’s original Star Wars film.

More than money, Ford might be drawn back by the upside of changes at Lucasfilm where the respected Kathleen Kennedy is taking over as company president, and with the Jedi franchise as a whole now that Kennedy is in as executive producer and Lucas will take on a consultant role, leaving the director’s chair for someone else.

Indeed, Ford won’t go to the next level of contract talks until there’s a script and director in place. Either could be a deal breaker. Still, at any stage, an “upbeat” signal from Ford on any Solo matter is enough to shock and excite fans who view Star Wars as something close to religion.

In the 29 years since the red carpet premiere of Return of the Jedi, Ford has declined hundreds – if not thousands — of offers to appear at Star Wars events and cast reunions even the ones sanctioned and run by Lucasfilm. In fact, in all those years was only one offer he accepted: He attended a 30th anniversary screening of the The Empire Strikes Back in 2010 to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
About 400 fans (including Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan, Jon Favreau, and Kevin Feige) paid $100-$175 each to hear Ford reflect on his Millennium Falcon days. I was the moderator for the event and the star arrived in a cheery mood but, after watching the film, he was weary of the crowd’s zeal for something he could never love.

“I don’t know that I understood it very well,” Ford said in a flat tone of the franchise’s ascension in popular culture. “I’m not sure I understand it yet…I was very happy to be involved. I was pleased to be a part of an ensemble.”
It was a bare-bones answer but still the crowd cheered and no one asked for a refund – everyone was just excited to see Ford back in the same theater as the Star Wars universe. That alone may be the Force that brings Ford and Solo back together for their date with destiny.

An elderly Luke Skywalker is easy to picture. Grampa Han shuffling up the ramp to the Falcon is a lot harder to visualize. Maybe he can wave his blaster around while telling Younglings to get off his lawn.

Wrong and stricken from the record... Especially if you haven't beat it on unleashed difficulty

Maybe they have space walkers.
