I hope they don't have a roll call of company logos, Disney..Bad Robot...Lucasfilm etc.
Just kick in with
and put all that stuff in the end credits.
It's funny how we've grown so attached to the Lucasfilm logo and the Fox fanfare, when these elements are arguably against the spirit of the movie. Lucas fought to have the credits at the end of the film, a change that is now the norm for movies, yet the company logos remain at the beginning. It would totally be in keeping with Star Wars to cut right to the movie.
Also, it would be so awesome if the original font and blue color of that card would appear all gate-weavy and the movie was full of old-school miniature shots. Just like they went back to 1983 and continued the saga right where it left off, technology-wise. Puppets, real location shooting, grimy and sparsely populated scenes in god-knows-where corners of the galaxy, and everyone would leave the theater surprised that it's actually 2014.
Of course it's going to be a safe, sanitized Disney flick, but I can dream.

Fake or not, it's reminiscent of the logo for Tron 2 before it became Legacy.
Boo.

It's just a promotional image, it's not like this will end up in the crawl. I'm fine with it, and appreciate its simplicity.
That is a very efficient, and kind of cool, logo. As long as it doesn't show up in any theatrical posters or the film itself (and it surely won't), I'm fine with it. That is if it's real, of course.
What next though?
St8r Wars?
Star W9rs?

As I hate the whole PT-spawned notion that only certain genetic supermen get to have an afterlife, I hope Episode VII -- or any of the sequels, really -- clearly establishes that everyone -- be they Jedi or not, Force-sensitive or not -- gets to survive death as spirits in the Force.
One bad thing about living in Japan is that most movies come 1 - 3 months late (we're the last country to get Godzilla. Godzilla!!), but the good news is that the audience is WONDERFUL. In eight years, I've never heard anyone make even the slightest peep during a movie. Unfortunately it costs 20usd to go to the theater.

Maybe only Jedi can see or hear them.

This may be kind of terrible for Leia, as she is constantly barraged with the spirits of everyone who died on Alderaan. Everyone is constantly like "Remember to avenge me, princess" or "we're all counting on you." or God forbid: "Help us Leia, you're our only hope!"
She'd snap within the month.

We know that not everybody's body dissappears. In ANH, Vader is confused when Obi-Wan's body dissappears.

I think it is more about there being a connection between the individuals than anything else. Darth Vader/Anakin did not fade away like Obi-Wan and Yoda, yet he turned up as a ghost in the end scene of ROTJ.
In that scene, Luke sees Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin while Leia walks up to him and looks in the same direction and does not see anyone.

Where were you in '77?
Qui-Gon (Force Ghost voice): I'm Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan's master.
Luke: Obi-Wan said Yoda was his master.
Qui-Gon: Obi-Wan doesn't speak literally. You should know that by now.

An announcement. Filming will begin shortly. Very excited, I am.
Do we know yet who's been cast as the trio of young leads?

Why does it has to be a trio? Direct copying of OT concepts seems like a bad idea to me.

Way to be a specist, imperialscum. What do you have against Wookiees?
Let us hope they tease us with some photos soon. Seeing the old gang in costume is going to be the thing that takes this from abstract to "This is really happening!" for me.
Anybody else notice the official site has shamelessly copied our browser tab icon? ;)

That's what it said in the announcement, a 'trio of young leads', their words, not mine.
That said, Trios do tend to work well on a dramatic level, you have different personality types constantly playing off each other, creating comedic moments and drama in equal measure. It also leaves open the possibility of a love triangle, much like in the OT. Nothing wrong with that and of course Disney will be wanting to draw in the female demographic. Trios worked well with the OT and Harry Potter so I don't see why it wouldn't work here.
One of the things that the PT suffered for IMHO, apart from cringeworthy/humourless writing, is that it didn't have a similar trio dynamic going on, the groups are always twos in those films, Qui Gon & Obi Wan, Obi Wan & Anakin or Anakin & Padme, made for very little personality conflicts, characters playing off each other, human humour/wittisism moments in those films like in the OT (that was left to R2D2 & Jar Jar), which is why they're such a drag to watch, they take themselves so seriously, unlike the OT, which had great moments of both comedy and drama/pathos, which of course all the best stories do IMHO.

But if we look at ESB there is practically no "trio" at all. Yet it doesn't suffer on a dramatic level even a bit.
Anyway if they really have to copy that, I at least hope they will go with two female and one male combination so we can have at least some novelty. But I sense that will not be the case.

I'm not sure that concept is in the PT at all.
Really, all we get is that Qui Gon learned to be a ghost. Where other peoples souls/whatever go after death isn't touched on.
I mean, if that's your reading (which I dont think has much evidence behind it), then the OT supports it just as much.
I want as much focus on the OOT characters as possible. It's not Star Wars without them, prequels be damned.
