[QUOTE=J!NX;38378038]I want Han Solo to be a shadow of his younger self. A much more dangerous, much more rouge man, but still the same Han Solo he always was. This time with more murder :v: I however want Han Solo to die this time, in a hardass way where he takes out hundreds of bad guys with him just because they messed with him. :v:[/QUOTE] I'd love if it somehow included the time when Han and Boba Fett teamed up to kill Han's cousin. That was one of my favorite moments in the books.
I figured that they would have given the original characters a pass and went to more original stuff. Guess not. Still, Harrison Ford as an older Solo sounds incredibly badass.

Cause of how random that sounded :v: [QUOTE=jeimizu;38378538]Weirdly the actor who plays Palpatine is only 68.

Someone should really just plaster a "HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE" sign all over the star wars movie rights. Whatever, I am not expecting another good star wars movie ever again. In my opinion it doesn't need a sequel especially with the original cast unless they are just cameos which I suppose wouldn't be terrible. If they somehow actually had balls and make it with as little cg-i as possible it could actually have some hope. And someone who understands the simplistic yet emotional ideals of the original trilogy could actually write something that fits really well into what star wars is really about.
Am I the only one who doesn't want the original cast so much? It is really going to derail the movie with everyone focusing on them, instead of the new characters. I rather they just make a fucking movie with Kyle Katarn. Or how about when Boba Fett trains Solo's daughter for some shit. Idk, maybe it is just me, but I really don't want a movie where it uses the old gang to gain credibility.
I'd love a Dash Rendar based Star Wars movie. So shoot me.
[QUOTE=J!NX;38379114]if they can make young look extremely old, they can make extremely old (and fat) look young.[/QUOTE] It's easier to pile on makeup and create an entirely new face than it is to fill in wrinkles and make someone look young without them looking waxy.
I personally hope Christopher Lee returns. I thought he was one of the few good things about the prequels.
I'm hoping for Kyle Katarn to make a appearance, I loved that series of games and would be interesting to see a movie equivalent of Jedi Academy. All this rebirth of the Star Wars movies is making me want to go back and read all the books and comics.
I'm okay with this as long as they don't fuck it up by doing the same mistake as Indiana Jones 4, aka putting them into the same situations as when they were young, and doing the exact same things despite having 30 more years on them. If they are any good at writing they'll give Leia a supporting role as an old retired politician, Solo will either be real fucking rich or retired because he doesn't give a shit anymore (bonus points for not being with Leia anymore just because), and Luke would pretty much be yoda only slightly better looking. There are still so many fucking ways they can screw it up though. Not including the millenium falcon, killing off other characters off-screen like Chewbacca or Lando, not making Luke, Leia and Solo different enough from the previous movies, making them too different, turning Luke into a backflipping killing machine that spins around slashing everything in sight (similar to what they did to yoda in the prequels), not including a good villain (which honestly will probably appear because the number of underwhelming villains in the star wars series is really big) [editline]9th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Sgt Pringles;38381238]I'm hoping for Kyle Katarn to make a appearance, I loved that series of games and would be interesting to see a movie equivalent of Jedi Academy.

Just leave them to rest.
Nah, I don't care about what anybody says. I'm giving this movie a thumbs up. Start filming.
hopefully Katarn's in it
[QUOTE=Scotchair;38380947]I personally hope Christopher Lee returns. I thought he was one of the few good things about the prequels.[/QUOTE] He has no hands, no head and he is probably going to die soon (90 years old).
[QUOTE=venn178;38377730]He didn't die. He actually appears in a lot of shit that happens after Episode 6.[/QUOTE] I hope they don't take the EU into consideration, that shit only works for games and books. Palpatine dies, but oh wait, he has a million clones. Darth Maul doesn't die despite being cut in half and falling who knows how long. The Death Star is a peashooter compared to some of the other superweapons in the EU, I wonder why anybody was even impressed by it. Boba Fett is eaten by a Sarlacc, the most horrifying fate to suffer according to the movie, but oh wait, Fett just jetpacks out of there (or whatever he does, I can't remember). It's like the writers of the expanded universe don't know when to stop.
Calling it now: Greedo lived and took his sweet time to finally get revenge on a now senile Han. That one Ewok, I think its name is Wicket, became the new emperor. Jar Jar is the new Jabba The Hutt and Boba Fett has an unsuccessful frogurt stand on Hoth. Also, lots of product placement for Mountain Dew, Doritos and The Gap for some reason. I should write for hollywood?(not really) EDIT: In response to above, in one of the, I think, expanded universe books, Fett was communicating with the Sarlacc while being digested by it via the force and it eventually just spit him out. It was like 15 years or so since I read it, so I may be WAYYYY off.

This is brilliant! i am actually excited now.

Maybe the bottom of that pit curves off, like when luke fell after the I am your father thing 3- there's always a a bigger fish but yeah that sounds ridiculous 4- I think everybody considers the whole jetpacking out thing, though if you look at a diagram of it that may seem a little tricky. He DID have some weaponry mounted on him so in the very least he could have blown out a hole to make it easier. [t]http://blogs.laweekly.com/arts/2009/07/17/Sarlacc_Body2.jpg[/t] and much like teachers in college, writers of extended material don't know when to stop because they think they have the most unique and clever twist ever and don't realize you've got five other classes giving out the same amount of homework, and you end up with an overload of ridiculous content to fit into a single timespan
Starkiller escaped a giant sarlacc just fine, boba can handle a small one.
I just want Han Solo back, a really dark portrayal of the universe and a good film. Is that really too much to ask?
[QUOTE=alien_guy;38385038]Starkiller escaped a giant sarlacc just fine, boba can handle a small one.[/QUOTE] Starkiller's prowesses are just completely ridiculous. The writers were out of their mind when they came up with that guy.
The EU stuff some of you guys are suggesting sounds ridiculous. Why do you gents think it would translate well into movies? They can do anything and I'd rather keep robo Maul and Palpatine clones out of it. That Thrawn guy seems like an interesting character though.
Give us the Katarn [editline]9th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Ganerumo;38385122]Starkiller's prowesses are just completely ridiculous.

[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;38385459]Give us the Katarn[/QUOTE] He better use force lightning.
I was just thinking that a really old washed-up Han Solo would be so badass, but then realised that would kind of mean taking away Han and Leia's happy ending. Then I thought what if he turned that way after Leia died (in a non-tragic way), and Luke went and found him in some some shitty dive bar to get his help with something regarding whatever new characters they come up with, and giving him something to live for. I wondered if them meeting in the Mos-Eisley cantina for a second time would be too contrived, though. I hope they keep a similar aesthetic to the original trilogy for continuity's sake, rather than everything being all shiny as in the prequels.
Well, Michael Arndt has been officially confirmed by Lucasfilm to be the writer for this film.That's something to be excited about. Academy Award for best original screenplay, a nomination for best adapted screenplay.
One thing I pray for the new movies is that they won't be shot 90% in front of the green screen like the prequels were.
