[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jqIVC11.png[/IMG] Rumor has it that the next installment in the Star Wars franchise will be named Star Wars: Episode 7 - Order of the Jedi as reported by thehollywoodgossip. [B]Some of the mentioned rumors are:[/B] *Luke Skywalker will now be an Obi Wan Kenobi-like mentor figure. *Princess Leia is now "Queen Regent of the Republic". *Han Solo is "High Commander of the Republic". *The bad guy will not be a Sith Lord. *A press release unveiling other major plot details is scheduled for May 4th.

This sounds too good to be true. I would love a non-Sith villain, but my gut tells me that there will be one.
So far, while I'm not excited for it like if it were one of the originals, I think Abrams is doing a really good job of setting this movie up to at a minimum, succeed very well and try to be true to the culture. Which is the most we can hope for I think, this far past the last trilogy.
Order of the Jedi eh? Sounds kinda standard. Also Luke as an Obi-Wan style character would probably fit his new aged look.
[quote]*The bad guy will not be a Sith Lord.[/quote] Ooooooh!
[QUOTE=Skyward;44708220]Ooooooh![/QUOTE] My same responds. I'm wondering if there will even be a Sith in the movie.
Really looking forward to this movie. Will be nice to see what they'll manage to do now with even better technology.
Do you think we might finally see a Grey Jedi on the screen who isn't lambasted into being a phony Sith?
luke was pretty obi-wan-esque to kyle katarn so maybe... It's about kyle katarn? This journey katarn takes throughout jedi outkast could be split up into 3 films in itself
[QUOTE=Taggart;44708331]Do you think we might finally see a Grey Jedi on the screen who isn't lambasted into being a phony Sith?[/QUOTE] Maybe if it was katarn but i'm not even sure he'll be in it
[QUOTE=ZyreHD;44708227]My same responds. I'm wondering if there will even be a Sith in the movie.[/QUOTE] I'm not really all that into the lore, but if I remember right there is [i]always[/i] a Sith somewhere if there's a Jedi somewhere. And there's going to be a Jedi somewhere.
[QUOTE=Ashes;44708444]Maybe if it was katarn but i'm not even sure he'll be in it[/QUOTE] you don't even know how disproportionately excited I'd be if Katarn was in this film
[QUOTE=ZyreHD;44708227]My same responds. I'm wondering if there will even be a Sith in the movie.[/QUOTE] They said not a "Sith Lord",[B] not "Sith" in general[/B]. I wonder if this means we will get some sort of different type of Sith, like an Inquisitor. Though I do want a non-force based villain, I just don't think it is going to happen.
After seeing the actors cast... I'm thinking Kyle Katarn and Rosh Penin, anyone else? Kyle [img]http://cdn.filmschoolrejects.com/images/andy-serkis.jpg[/img] Rosh [img]http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Film/Pix/pictures/2013/5/23/1369334523870/Oscar-Isaac-008.jpg[/img] Fuck Rosh, By the way.
[QUOTE=Turnips5;44708499]you don't even know how disproportionately excited I'd be if Katarn was in this film[/QUOTE] I'd be happy with a movie simply retelling the games, that's how much I like Katarn
[QUOTE=ZyreHD;44708193]*Princess Leia is now "Queen Regent of the Republic". *Han Solo is "High Commander of the Republic". [/QUOTE] Seems pretty strange that they're both given very high rankings in the Republic. You would think Mon Mothma would be the new ruler.
-snip
She died 20 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, and it's been 30 or 40 I would assume
[QUOTE=Turnips5;44708499]you don't even know how disproportionately excited I'd be if Katarn was in this film[/QUOTE] Delta squad as a bounty hunter team of old cranky clone commandos That would be enough reason for me to freak the fuck out
[QUOTE=Ashes;44708617]Delta squad as a bounty hunter team of old cranky clone commandos That would be enough reason for me to freak the fuck out[/QUOTE] Even if the clone trooper life span is that long I highly doubt Delta squad is alive or active 60+ years after the events of Imperial Commando 501st.
The fact the prequels are still canon and the EU isn't sort of spoils anything they could possibly do with the universe. The meat and potatoes of SW was in shit like Shadows Of The Empire. The bulk of my interest in the franchise was in the arc of Boba Fett escaping from the Sarlaac and going on have a family and other such things. And that's all gone now. The books. The comics. The games. The RPGs. I can't care anymore. All that's left is the jedi-centric wankfest when the jedi were the lamest part of the property.

Just because the fictional books say one thing and the fictional films another doesn't mean one fiction is more correct than the other :v:
I think the only EU stuff we're likely to see are ships, planets and species. Maybe some minor characters, or references to characters. Even the prequel Trilogy (for how bad it was) had EU references.

Luke being an Obi-Wan style mentor is just what I wanted - I even said it in the last thread. Even if this film sucks seeing an older Luke should be great.
I hope in this movie they build hype/sapience for the sith lord
[quote]*Han Solo is "High Commander of the Republic".[/quote] This doesn't work for me. Imo Han and Leia should no longer be a couple and Han should just be living out his days as a retired smuggler.
Yeah I don't like it much either, but mostly because Han never really showed any significant tactical prowess.
Yeah, "High Commander" of anything just doesn't sound like Han at all.
Hell, even being referred to as [i]General Solo[/i] in Empire and Jedi just doesn't sound right.
[QUOTE=The Maestro;44709160]Hell, even being referred to as [i]General Solo[/i] in Empire and Jedi just doesn't sound right.[/QUOTE] Better then 'General Calrissian' What did Lando do other then try to turn them over to the Empire and Rescue Han from Jabba?
