Hi guys, new around here, and what a time to be around.

Came across this today, and if true, man am I excited........

Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, C3PO and R2D2 are I am assured to feature prominently in the new trilogy, as was always the idea. Apparently some have already been approached. Quite a while back too to my understanding. Hamill is a certainty.  

 

    There are two trilogies planned, all following an original overview by Lucas, which was always planned as a multi generational saga. Movies 10 - 12 are from my understanding about the offspring of the Skywalkers, set many years later with the surviving cast playing much older versions of themselves and featuring a female protagonist named Skywalker. 

 

...and from the few names I have heard being banded around I am very excited, as they are all choices that I think people will get behind.

- Steven Speilberg,

- Neil Blomkamp

- Alfonso Cuarón

 
- Matthew Vaughn

 
- Darren Arnofsky

 
- Joss Whedon.

You can expect lovingly restored prints of the original trilogy to surface in the near future.

Is this reliable? It looks like they nailed the 3D releases.
