Official Star Wars VII Thread

I've always thought a sequel, or prequal, should include the time between the six films and without Luke, Leia, Darth, Obi, etc. Like, how did the "Bothan Spies" steal the Death Star blue print? Was there a mini-rebellion within the Empire ranks? Etc.

Did Vader train a midi-chlorine laden Empire officer to be a Sith only to have him discover the "Light Side?" The best they can come up with is to revisit Luke's severed hand? FFS...

That's what the new Star Wars Rebels cartoon is going to cover.

Set five years before Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the series follows a motley group of rebels—all of whom have been affected by the Galactic Empire in one form or the other—that band together in a small group aboard a freighter starship called the Ghost. The series will also focus on the origins of some of the groups that form the Rebel Alliance.

They lost me with Jar Jar Binks. What's Disney going to do? Put the next Miley Cyrus or Lindsay Lohan in it? It should be called Whore Wars.

I was wondering too if Lando Calrissian would make a comeback sometime.

Yeah. He gets laid a lot and shoots a few people.

BTW, did I show you guys my new shoes?

Do those come in Size 15?

[vandeleur]

It all sounds a bit fat fetched

Looks like any style "Authentic" lace ups stop at size 13.

It does, US size 15 is 14.5 in the UK.

[twonabomber]

14.5 in metric?

[Seshmeister]

Shoes aren't metric or imperial, they are just on different scales.

Doesn't matter how you dress it up FORD is a freak in any country.

All the offshoot productions that you're supposed to follow in order to know the full back story only aid in the destruction of the film series. If I didn't hate the prequels enough, everyone was just expected to have watched the Clone Wars animated series before getting to the film of episode III. It's all too scattered. They (Lucas and crew) knew how starved all the fans were, so they gave too much of a good thing that turned out to be not very good at all.

There were the two "microseasons" of Clone Wars that came out before Ep III, but the regular half hour shows came out after. The short series introduced General Grievous but other than that I didn't feel that it was a must-view before seeing Revenge Of The Sith. I didn't keep up with the half hour shows.

Disney is also planning spinoff movies but I think that's going to be more about individual character origins instead of filling in the blanks between the main movies.

Now that Lucas has said the original six movies are canon, all the books may as well be an alternate universe. I've only read maybe seven out of the hundred (?) that they put out.

I read that , but lets be clear here who gives a shit unless it's the Han Solo back story . Which would be Stella , literally

Solo and Boba Fett, after Ep II. Who's gonna care about some diplomat's back story? Maybe make one about Calrissian, but do it like an old blaxploitation film!
