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.
