Ridley Scott without restraint would ruin the franchise just as bad if not worse than Lucas in 1-3. Just look at Promotheus. Really pretty, but really bad and full of just dumb, pointless crap because racecar.

yeah you've got a point

If they go with the follow up book series with Han's kids then the current age of the three would be perfect.

I heard today that Carrie Fisher confirmed she is playing Princess Leia

Lucas let slip that the original three have been signed.

Depends entirely on how they use those characters. If Leia is off doing mom duty or polical duty, Luke doing council leader duty, and Han having an affair with his ship somewhere it could turn out fine.

I am personally hopping they take Han and immediately kill him off and destroy the Falcon in a way that sets up the main story arc with the focus on the kids. Have Luke and Leia contribute to the arc, but not be the main players. If they went this route, I think we have no Chewbacca either as he dies during the Yuuzhan Vong war. No idea if they brought him back some Force trickery though.

Ya I just spent the last 3 or so hours catching up on the universe. And is there really only 1 Solo kid left? Just Jaina?

Book spoilers, maybe movie plot.

I would actually be upset if they just did one of the book trilogies. Want to see something new get done.

Unless it was the Thrawn trilogy. I would be in for that.

They should make a movie about the sith and the dark side.

Dzel · 03-25-2013, 04:14 PM

Wow either way I'll be taking the kids to see it.

George Takei

Friends, I am thrilled to announce that I'll be starring in the Star Wars reboot directed by JJ Abrams. I'll be playing Master Ceti Maru, a member of the Jedi High Council. The new film, entitled "Star Wars: Galactic Empire," is greenlit and will begin filming sometime early next year. It is truly a moment for The Star Alliance. Thanks to all my fans for their decades of support.

So because Ridley Scott made a movie you didn't like, you are going to discount his whole body of work?

The Duellists, Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, American Gangster... I think I would be ok with him taking a crack at it. Never going to happen though, Disney plans on releasing Star Wars movies on a yearly basis.
