I told you all SuperShadow was for real. You didn't listen! 😄
On a more serious note, I really hope the original cast returns, but I doubt that will be a possibility. Harrison Ford would probably be the most difficult one to cast.
If the original cast was involved in this new trilogy, the events would have to occur about 30 years after ROTJ due to how everyone aged.

I'm excited for some new Star Wars movies. Have heard they will be stand alone trilogy, but I don't want them to stomp over EU.
Oh they will. Plus, this ain't Star Trek anyways. Being a Star Wars fan isn't about focusing on timelines or continuity (how disappointing would that be?) it's about characters and world building. The timeline after VI is already WELL beyond saving as far as continuity is concerned, so they may as well scrap everything. Disney will destroy the EU because they now have rights to do so and why wouldn't they? It's their baby now and it's their job to tell the ACTUAL stories of what happened after VI without having to worry about some loosely canon storylines.

Or hey they could just use different actors. That worked out well enough for Obi-Wan Kenobi.
But one things for sure, Episode 7 better feature Luke as an accomplished Jedi Master or I personally won't be interested.
Well hello everyone.
Well here we are.........again.
We're all here at KMC to talk about a new Star Wars movie, or should I see a new trilogy. This was quite unexpected.
I'm a little late on this, I didn't see the news until this morning. So I expect this post will be quickly glossed over, but I had to share my thoughts.
I was drinking my coffee at work, getting ready to work on a clip reel for one of the shows I work on. (I work in television). I was sipping my joe and was doing my usual internet rounds before I get to work. I went to IGN to see if any new GTA V news was abound and saw the aforementioned article. This was my reaction:
Me reading:
"Star Wars Disney?????......what's this a new disney land ride? (click).................Disney purchases Lucas film for 4.5 billlion.....................whoa..........what?????????????..................................new trilogy starting with episode 7 in 2015............WHOA WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????"
I seriously didn't know what to think, I still don't. I thought this film series was done.
I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing.
What is going to happen in these new movies?
What will happen to the current existing movies?
Will everyone get the theatrical OT's finally?
Star wars battlefront 3????
Will the 20th century fox fanfare be removed? ( something I always felt was synominous with Star wars)
Nevertheless, here we are, and here I am.
I'll be here as news rolls in. I'll be here when screen shots start coming up. I'll be here when the first trailer hits.
We have something new to talk about, complain about, cheer about, and fear about.
I'm guessing a new forum called "sequel trilogy" should be showing up soon.
I look forward to chatting with you guys about this over the next 7 years.
Just like old times.

And it looked creepily computer generated. It was not fooling anyone. Maybe with improvements made in computing power and software, it will look much more convincing?

It's pointless Imo. Just use new actors! It'll be ok! Worked for the Star Trek reboot anyway.
It would be a sin to have new actors play Luke, Han, Leia, etc. A Mortal sin. Reboots are completely different. If you try and put Ashton Kutcher as Luke, Daniel Craig as Han, and Anne Hathaway as Leia there will be riots, and cities will burn. It might be the end of civilization as we know it.
Besides, they already said this will be an Original Trilogy. To me that means new Characters. You might see Luke as a Jedi Master on a counsil, you might not.

If I was Disney and I was doing an Original Trilogy I would make it at least Episode 10. That way once the technology does become good enough, you can have a 7-9 of the original characters in CGI. And once you have that, then you dont even really need the original actors. If they are "gone" or wont sign, there are people out there that can mimick thier voices perfectly.
ok so apparently george lucas invited mark hammil and carrie fisher out to lunch a year ago and explained his plans for a new trilogy.
it's not explained whether he was just getting the input of some old friends or suggesting that they would be a part of it. however the latter seems far more likely imho.
hammil stated:
Yeah, last August, he asked Carrie and I to have lunch with him and we did. I thought he was going to talk about either his retirement or the Star Wars TV series that I’ve heard about — which I don’t think we were going to be involved in anyway, because that takes place between the prequels and the ones we were in and, if Luke were in them, he’d be anywhere from a toddler to a teenager so they’d get an age-appropriate actor — or the 3-D releases. So when he said, “We decided we’re going to do Episodes VII, VIII, and IX,” I was just gobsmacked. “What? Are you nuts?!”
and also:
I can see both sides of it. Because in a way, there was a beginning, a middle, and an end and we all lived happily ever after and that’s the way it should be — and it’s great that people have fond memories, if they do have fond memories. But on the other hand, there’s this ravenous desire on the part of the true believers to have more and more and more material. It’s one of those things: people either just don’t care for it or are passionate about it. I guess that defines what cult movies are all about. We’ll see.
referring todisney aquiring lfl:
“I have mixed feelings about that, but they haven’t done badly by Marvel and the Muppets and Pixar [...] It’s one of those big decisions that at first seems unusual but then the more you look at it, the more it makes sense.”

No I'm pretty sure people would understand that those actors are too old now.
We had a new actor portraying Alec Guiness's legendary Ben Kenobi. That turned out well Imo.
And Episode 7 would be a sequel/reboot seen as it will be the first SW movie not created by Lucas.
Whilst the new Star Trek was a prequel/reboot. That worked out well, simply because they had good actors portraying the same legendary characters.
There's nothing overtly special about Mark Hamill or Carrie Fisher that they can't be replaced.

No they've said it will be an Original Story. As in they're not going to take any existing storylines from books or comics.
If it doesn't at least have Luke with a major part then I don't see how that will be Episode 7. And I personally would have no excitement for it.
