Sometimes Star Wars scoop comes from the most unusual of places. Robert Englund, who is best known for playing Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street series, is good friends with and even a former roommate of Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars series.

While appearing at the Nashville Comic Expo, Robert Englund talked about how both he and Hamill have done a lot of voice work for animation. He also let slip out a big secret in regards to exactly what Hamill is up to currently. “Mark now—they’ve got Mark in the gym, because Mark’s coming back as Luke Skywalker. They’ve got him doing his sit ups,” said Englund.

Well they could not add young Han to ROTS but they made a Lego young Han minifigure for the Lego Star Wars movie The Padawan Menace

Yeah, exactly.

Just seen this:

So they get 4 of "the most prominent Star Wars fans in all of Star Wars fandom"  to describe how they think Episode 7 should open and then they got an artist to draw storyboards. Only TFN would start with an opening heavily influenced by the crappy prequels that, quite frankly, sound like the most boring piece of crap opening since TPM. But NOT ONE of them even got how a Star Wars film should open. It's been tradition that it opens with the crawl, the pan down and a spaceship.

*sigh*

If Episode VII opens in the Senate pod chamber from the prequels I'm setting fire to the cinema 5 minutes later ;-)

Here is a funny question. What's worse the 97 Special Edition the DVD 04 Special Edition or the BD 2011 Special Edition? Luckily since George Lucas sold the rights to Disney they will probably just repackage the BD versions of these movies but also make them available for DVD as well, unfortunately they won't be packaging the theatrical cuts on BD any time soon as I have heard, so the force is not really with us :(

Nothing. That's why cain asked his no-so-funny question.

I wonder what will be in Episode VII's Special Edition.

Yes.

I say this movie should have more smart characters and less of the dumb ones. That's right I am talking to you Jar Jar Binks.

Ben Schwartz and Oscar Award Winning Composer Michael Giacchino brainstorm ideas to update the Imperial March for JJ Abrams' new Star Wars films

There's no link to a news source? Put this in the general VII thread.

Maybe it could have Jar Jar's kids in it?

By now, Jar Jar has been soo ridiculed and tormented by people who hate him, that now he himself has turned to the darkside. He's trained Jar Jar Jr. & Jill Jill the ways of Evil Doing, and they must be destroyed.

STAR WARS: Episode VII: JAR JAR's REVENGE

At the end, Mara Jade helps Leia Jr. use the force to put Jar Jar Jr. into an air-lock on the Mel. Falcon, and jettison him into space.

I just finished watching Back To The Future Part II and I noticed that Marty Mcfly and Doc Brown went to the year 2015, but when Marty is in front of a theatre there are no posters for episode VII.

Oh God that was awful. I feel like there are people out there who recognize something is popular but they don't understand what makes it good; in fact they don't like it that much but they play along. They think they will make it even "better" but end up making a mockery of it instead. I've seen it with TV shows with unexpected popularity, where all of a sudden it's like some third party comes in and drastically changes it, distorts it, not understanding the simple qualities that made it so great in the first place.
