I've gotta say, that whole "leak" sounds like a big load of bullshit to me. I really can't believe they'd be stupid enough to go the Death Star route again.

I think the idea of a woman who had her homeworld demolished by one of those things using one herself is pretty good if they follow through with it and don't just have her conflicted about it and then resolve not to do it.

I think that's a very interesting idea. I also think it works because of the very long time since, both in-story and in reality. Part of what didn't work for me with Return was the fact that we'd just seen it all a few years earlier. In this case, she looks like the time and stress have taken a toll. It could really work. Even more so if the massive weapon were something only resembling a Death Star.

Something that would really make me happy is if none of the new cast are related to the original cast. Lucas shrunk the universe to the extreme. Time to let the story take a deep breath and expand the universe again.
