"Episode VII" is prolly just the working title. It's prolly gonna be a complete REBOOT, calling it now
The Star Wars saga ended at VI, any & everything else that comes after that's not prequel stories is non-canon. The Sith are forever destroyed (despite what the Expanded Universe stories say), balance is finally restored to the Force, and there's absolutely nothing left to tell canon-wise (at least, according to Lucas himself)
only other option is if they choose to adapt those certain Expanded Universe stories. I really can't see Mark Hamill or Harrison Ford returning to their roles (maybe as cameos), so "ep. VII" will likely feature all-new characters & leads, possibly descendants of Luke. Only familiar faces will prolly be C-3PO & R2, only because they're "immortal"

The actors are still alive so all they would need to do is use computer graphics to bring their ages back to a more youthful look, like they did for Jeff Bridges' character; Kevin Flynn in TRON: Legacy.
Hokiest, shattiest special effects ever. I hope no one ever attempts that again.

Disney isn't all kid-friendly. One of the biggest steps toward notoriety Disney made in recent years (aside from the legacy of Tron and Black Hole) is when they picked up distribution rights from Studio Ghibli

One of the biggest steps toward notoriety Disney made in recent years (aside from the legacy of Tron and Black Hole) is when they picked up distribution rights from Studio Ghibli. For Disney to accept a contract that stipulates they cannot edit Studio Ghibli's films beyond synching lips was a big step away from what people normally consider Disney kitsch: Tanuki flailing their testicles about in Pom Poko, for one example that caught a lot of people off guard. And Princess Mononoke blew the minds of the uninitiated -- decapitations, disarming (literally), a girl sucking blood out of a bullet wound, a giant boar with gore dangling under its belly and coughing up copious amounts of blood, and giant wolf attacking numerous humans with its disembodied bloodied head. Princess Mononoke was nothing like anything Disney ever released before and yet it bore the Disney label. I don't know if Walt would have ever gone for that, but the Disney of today isn't the Disney of our childhoods.

Wow ??? Don't really know what to make of this...
Yeah having the original cast come back to reprise their roles is a little difficult now...or maybe not. The actors are still alive so all they would need to do is use computer graphics to bring their ages back to a more youthful look, like they did for Jeff Bridges' character; Kevin Flynn in TRON: Legacy. But I think a movie version of Knights of the Old Republic could also work. Those stories were five thousand years before the original Star Wars. Lots of room to work with.
I'm calling it now, the next movie craze Is going to be sequels to old movies, with the original older actors.
Well Arnold is playing Conan again, so I don't see why the hell not get some of the original cast back and do some kind of new story.
And yknow what, it would in many cases be better than the reboots that often happen.
Arnold is playing Conan again?? Why'd they replace him to begin with if he was going to reprise his role?
If Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Terminator 3 are anything to go by, I'd say likely not.
Kevin Sorbo's the man in Kull the Conqueror. I gotta watch that again soon; I own the DVD.
My brother lent me a collection of Kull stories that's been on my shelf for over a year. I oughta read that.
If Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Terminator 3 are anything to go by, I'd say likely not.
Well of course it depends who's making them... Lucas has no idea what he's doing when it comes to movies, and only Cameron really knew what to do with Terminator. (he made it after all)
About Palpatine, his body indeed didnt survived, he transfered his soul to another body before dying, that his the ultimate power of imortality that he seeked. About Darth Vader I never heard about that, since he is dead and we can clearly see that in VI end.
The only way Vader can return is as Anakin, portrayed by Hayden Christensen, as a Force Ghost, to mentor Luke.
Exactly. The only way they can re-introduce Vader is by having another villain wear the suit. But it still would not be THE Darth Vader.
They should do a Chewie trilogy. Everything in the movie should happen in his home galaxy. All the characters and dialogue would be wookiee.
Chewie isn't from another galaxy, he hails from a planet called Kashyyyk.
I never did see the Christmas special and from what I read about it I don't think I ever want to. Even Lucas admitted it was awful and I'm fairly certain that he removed them from the canon as it was just that bad. The only two shows that were far more successful and tolerable would be the two Ewoks flicks; Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor. I seem to watch Battle for Endor quite frequently. Maybe cause it's a rather dark story for a children's TV movie which totally kicks ass in my mind.
Just because a show in the same universe doesn't depict the iconic heroes doesn't mean it isn't canon. That's just wishful thinking for some. It's simply another tale in the saga. And while Boba Fett had his first introduction in the Christmas special his actual first appearance was in Episode IV: A New Hope. It was a scene that Lucas cut from the final production as it just wasn't working out with the tech that they had at the time. However when they relaunched the original trilogy with the new CG scenes they were able to restore it. I just wish they could've also added in the Tosche Station scene as well since it was one of the major points of the film that had Luke's friend Biggs in it, And that we don't see him again until the final battle.
I don't like sand.
