I'd also like to see how Han acquires the Millenium Falcon, joins up with Chewbacca and even see some of his bounty hunting missions. I could careless to see his deal with Jabba the Hut.Bob_S. said:The young Han solo film will take place between Revenge of The Sith and New Hope and Boba Fett would take place between New Hope and Empire. Both sound pretty cool. i hope with the Han solo one we will get to see how the Empire progresses from Revenge to New Hope like seeing TIE fighters and stormtroopers. Maybe even a Vader cameo.
I agree. Didn't we learn anything from the prequel trilogy? Telling the story of what happened BEFORE the things you already know about is boring. There's no suspense, there's no drama (other than whatever is contrived by the writers to "make it interesting") in getting from point A to point B when everyone knows what point B is. Tell a continuing story. Introduce new characters and tell their story. You just spent $4 billion for rights to the entire Star Wars GALAXY, why focus on the same dozen characters we already know. Honestly, I'm surprised they aren't thinking bigger with this.Norm said:
I get what you're saying (and I wholeheartedly agree with your idea of doing stories with new characters) but I disagree with the idea that knowing where, say, Han ends up in A New Hope means that you can't have drama or suspense with that character in a story that comes before that. You can't really place him in a situation where it's life or death since it's clear that he'll make it but you can still put him in an exciting and fun action movie. Look at basically any comic book movie or any superhero comic book or The Clone Wars cartoon or a Pixar movie, the characters can be placed in life and death situations and while you know the characters aren't going to die, you're hopefully still invested in the story.Jason Charlton said:
Yeah, $4 billion. I don't think Disney spent $4 billion just to take a chance on developing new characters in the Star Wars universe. I think much of the value is in being able to tell the stories of the iconic charaters from the OT. I think this deal guarantees that at some point we'll see a remake of the OT. It may be 10 or more years from now, but it will happen IMHO.Jason Charlton said:
I think very few people would disagree with you. I think what we'll see is that Disney will take the characters they know will be a draw at the box office and show them in their prime. So we'll probably get a recast Han Solo in his twenties and see his adventures before ANH.Norm said:
I agree Disney is going to milk Star Wars every way they can. I guess I can ignore the moves I don't like. Like a lot of the Star Wars EU that is horrible. I wonder if Lucas has a few rules set-up that you can't use the Emperor or Vader if the movie is set after Episode 6. I don't have any faith in that since Lucas caved to the bring back Darth Maul fans in the Clone Wars TV series. I think he realized he screwed Maul up by showing so little of him in Episode 1.Bryan X said:
Yet they are going to try to pen a followup to a specific trilogy of films that ended 30 years ago.Sam Favate said:
I wouldn't be surprised if the Yoda story is the Seven Samurai story. Yoda would be an ideal Kambei. Just place it 100 years before TPM and go from there.
Or it could have Ewan/Obi-wan leave Tattione in search of some lost Jedi only to gather with them to help defeat the bandits. I really hope they start spinning in Dark Jedi & ignoring that Darth Bane created Sith Rule of Two. Lucas gave canon approval on the Darth Plagueis novel which pretty much stated that Darth Tenebrous, Plagueis & Papatine were the first in 1000 years to ignore the Rule of Two.Brandon Conway said:

Not so fast, Latino Review jumps the gun again. Harrison Ford deal? My source says not yet. "It will not be for weeks and perhaps months."WillG said:
