You're right, my point is totally invalidated. Lol just pointing out that large multi story arcs aren't THAT uncommon

Star Wars 7 Plot Will Be "an Original Story," Says Lucasfilm Source

Princess Leia and Han Solo also play heavily into the Thrawn Trilogy, popping out a pair of twins (of course) among other things. As for the name Thrawn, well, that refers to a grand admiral with imperial sympathies who takes over as the leader of the vanquished enemy faction.

So is that the basis for Episode 7 or not? I've heard directly from LucasFilm and other sources close to the picture, and they say: Definitely not.

"It's an original story," a LucasFilm source tells me.

In other words, forget the Star Wars novels. Forget the graphic novels. Forget everything you think you know about what happens to Luke Skywalker. According to my sources, Episode 7 will literally be nothing you've ever seen or read before from the Star Wars universe.

I also hear from several sources that, no matter what you may hear to the contrary, no director has been officially attached to the project.

Meanwhile, there isn't much news regarding the other big Star Wars projects currently in development.

But there is still hope for Luke and rest

It would have been better if it was Pixar that bought them.

Watch, the movie will directed by Gore Vibenski and star Johnny Depp as Han Solo.

I haven't read up on it, but I still don't get why that has to be 3 movies. Not a very big book. Maybe they are adding other stuff?

I know you were trying to be funny but you're better at being a cliche in tight pants.

Seriously, GV and Depp did the Pirate movies and now the Lone Ranger one for Disney.

Holy crap can you imagine Star Wars with Pixars technology and John Lassiter's creative control.......

Welcome to last week?

Now that this has been brought up in this forum (and not the subforum with the thread that exists from the day of announcement), I do have to say I wonder if the first 6 will still have the 20th Century Fox intro. I'd think surely they will. That will be a bit jarring to lose it for the next films. I love the Fox intro. It's the best. The Disney castle pales in comparison to that nice fanfare they have at Fox.

Thats good, considering that a retarded monkey can write a better script than Lucas.

Did you know that Disney bought Pixar at 2006? Disney owns Pixar :lol:

Pixar and Lucasfilm was one company and they split in 1986...

"Pixar began in 1979 as the Graphics Group, part of the computer division of Lucasfilm before its spin-out as a corporation in 1986 with funding by Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs, who became its majority shareholder.[1] The Walt Disney Company bought Pixar in 2006 at a valuation of $7.4 billion, a transaction which made Jobs Disney's largest shareholder."

Its time to call out Spielberg.

He should be directing this, not his understudy. (FTR, I very much like what JJ did with the new Star Trek)
