Please, please, please don't include Samuel Jackson (or any other PT actor) in the sequel films. The last thing the ST needs is overt association with the prequels. Even the most-likely-inevitable inclusion of PT terminology (padawan, youngling, battle droids, midichlorians, etc.) will only serve to highlight how far the Star Wars franchise has fallen. But overtly featuring PT material visually (like showing elderly Boba clones, including the stupid padawan-braid, or casting any of the PT actors in these films, except for Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, and Peter Mayhew) is possibly the worst decision that the new franchise owners could make.

I agree, I've divorced the Prequels from my mind, it would be an utter shame if the new films linked to that shite

I really hate to break it to you guys, but it's likely going to happen. The Prequels are part of the "saga" now, unfortunate though that may be, and crappy as the films undeniably were.

I don't see how you could expect otherwise.

To tell you the truth, that is what I expect....but I'm trying to kid myself that they'll try & steer clear

J

I agree.

The PT love it or hate it is as much Star Wars as ROTJ.

It's much better to pretend they made sense and were well made than to pretend they don't exist.

Vive la differénce  :-)

The trilogy that chronologically followed the PT (I'm talking about OT, even though it came first of course) only referenced the PT by mentioning that vader used to be a jedi.  There's no mention at all of qui gonn or mace or dooku or battle droids or even clones.  And that's what, twenty years after?  Why would something fifty years after talk about these things?

Easterhay, I truly mean no offense by this, but most of the regulars here have a working memory of your posting history on the site. You're not singled out - everyone kind of keeps tabs on everyone here, because personal preferences and opinions help us know how to interact with each other in a civil way.

Your personal posting history has been of interest simply because you came into this community with very strong opinions that you will vehemently defend - as well you should. In many applications, the best defense is a good offense (which is frequently how you come across) but forums really don't work that way. Forums operate on the principle that nobody should ever be on the offense. Everyone has a point to make and defend, but by sticking purely to defense we avoid an issues caused by offending other people. Try and look at a few of your posts objectively - you may know how you were feeling when you wrote them, but the rest of us often don't. Which is why often you're met with less than sympathy. Trying to help, not attack, seriously.

Many of the regulars here remember members that have been banned, and some of us are convinced he is one of those members come back in a different disguise.

There is some evidence to the contrary, but it may just mean he's a very sophisticated sock.

I'm hoping Tarkin finally shows up again after evading the Death Star explosion.

When I think about it, Coruscant is really the only PT planet that would be worth going back to. Actually, Naboo might be an interesting place to revisit. And Kamino, if they ever wanted to explain that mess properly (which I don't think they should bother with). 

Other than that though, not really. Not much value to any of the other planets in the PT.

I agree that we need some new worlds, or EU worlds that have not yet been seen on film.

I dont want to see any old planets, OT, PT, EU.

I want a balls to the wall new adventure, preferably with very few Jedi. 

I agree... new planets, new characters in the ST... the only recurring characters would be the OT cast, I see little reason to include Obi-Wan... although my ideal ST wouldn't focus on Luke anymore....and planet-wise it makes sense for Corasaunt to return, but the others I don't see much value in... (although I'm sure Tatooine might be shoehorned in there some how)

Reserve PT characters and planets for spinoff movies.... (Clone Wars between II and III, Jedi Purge between III and IV)  This can leave a door open for the actors like Sam Jackson and Ewan to stay associated, and maybe "right some wrongs" with additional spin off movies.... (a clone wars movie with Hayden and Ewan expanding on the relationship and making me care more would be ideal)

Disney is planning on cranking out a movie every 2 years or so right?  well those movies don't necessarily need to be an Episode every time.... right?  doing each episode 2 years apart seems a bit rapid.... fill in with the gaps with these spinoff movies.

And Hoonoeswot.
