More speculation, but it's fun anyway

[Q]

I don't want to get my hopes up, but it's like the planets are aligning or something.

[Alexrd]

I don't want to see Han in the new movie(s). His story arc was already over in TESB.

 

(This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)

[Prime]

I certainly don't want him as a main character for sure.

 

Maybe just pops up briefly...

 

"You are all clear, kid!"

I do know, when we get the first teaser trailer, and Mark Hamill pulls his hood back... My face will explode, and a portal to heaven will open in middle England.

Great news.

 

Wow! I think he will do a great job.

[Q]

I'm just glad it isn't Damon Lindelof.

[Blix]

Wow that was fast I wasn't expecting an announcement this soon. Well I guess this a good sign that Disney is taking Star Wars seriously and wants to get the ball rolling.

[Ctrl Alt Del]

Well, the announcement was pretty close to the acquisition of LF, but as the articles state, Arndt was already pinned for a while.

Encouraging!

[Blix]

 

It's going on 2013 and still no hoverboards or flying cars

[DarthParametric]

flying cars

Pfff. They have been around for years.

 

[Blix]

Pfff. They have been around for years.

 

 

LOL nice photoshop

Not at all... That's a Convair 118.

 

Although I think we're veering away from the subject matter...

[Blix]

Back on-topic: I really do hope that the new movies are all original. I don't mind if they use The twins (Jacen & Jaina) and Ben and what not - but the plot itself should be unique from any EU novels or comics.

[Canderis]

I think this was disney's fault... Completely real

[JesusIsGonnaOwnSatan]

I think this was disney's fault... Completely real

 

It seems to me that this was entirely between Lucasfilm and Rovio. What makes you think Disney was involved?

 

Also, what's wrong with Angry Birds: Star Wars? It's just Rovio giving AB: Space a Star Wars treatment. It's not like this commanded Lucasarts' attention preventing us from getting a 'proper' game in that time period..

 

It's like getting SW Mighty Muggs or Alienware computers.

Star Wars Angry Birds has been in the works for a while, I believe.

 

What I don't believe, is film moles, as per that last article.

[Giant Graffiti]

Darth Vader will rise from the ashes.

I don't think I've heard someone use that phrase so literally before. That whole article sounds like one of those "My uncle works at Nintendo" type things.

 

Also, is Darth Maul like the only person in Star Wars to ever be regurgitated so they could be used in a future story?

 

e: Reposting this picture because I love how ridiculous it is:

Well, I was optimistic about this deal.
