These 3 reprising their roles? I'll take it.

What about this guy?

Yup. I'll take him too.

Giddy as a school boy right now

^Your post made me think there had been news posted on the previous page confirming that the original actors were coming back.

No..... But that post still makes me excited! Before I just wanted Hamill back as a supporting role with a new cast, but now I would be happy with all of them back with supporting roles with a new lead cast.

There was a big buzz going around earlier today that Mark Hamill had signed a contract to appear in 7, 8 & 9 but it looks like it was some fanboy's wishfull thinking.

I love unsubstantiated rumors. I'm sure we won't get any more of those, however.

It's going to be a long wait until May 2015.

They dont want to ruin the series. I just hope a bad director or directors like the strauss brothers come and screw it up. Star wars is a good oppurtunity for unkwon directors to make their word in film history. Sorry for my spelling im not good at english

Maybe they've noticed the hate directed at George since the SEs and PTs. If George deserved it or not isn't the point, directors with other options just don't need the grief.

Not Episode 7, but Zack Snyder directing a Star Wars movie outside of the next trilogy:

In what would be a surprising move, rumors at Vulture today suggest that Man of Steel director Zack Snyder is prepping for an action film set in the Star Wars universe.

The site suggests that this new, temporarily untitled film would loosely remake Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, set in the past of George Lucas' sci-fi universe.

The Old Republic!?!

https://www.vulture.com/2013/01/zack-snyder-preps-non-trilogy-star-wars-film.html

He is in fact developing a Star Wars project for Lucasfilm that is set within the series’ galaxy, though parallel to the next trilogy. It will be an as-yet-untitled Jedi epic loosely based on Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai, with the ronin and katana being replaced by the Force-wielding knights and their iconic lightsabers.

I admit, this is odd just because Star Wars ANH was already an adaptation of the Magnificent Seven, which was based on the Seven Samurai.

Zach Snyder + Star Wars = A good thing

 

[IrishJedi]

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread

Actually, ANH was loosely inspired by THE HIDDEN FORTRESS.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread

We've had so many high profile directors publicly turn down this project that it runs the risk of looking a little toxic.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread

Just so I'm up to speed who has turned it down besides JJ Abrams?
