Star Wars 7 coming in 2015
LeeC:
Who knows, there is obviously another row of people behind them. Then again the OT did have a mostly male cast. Would be cool to see some more female protagonists outside of the "diplomat" character. Granted Princess Leia is a badass, first 10 seconds of her on screen and she straight up kills a dude.
Neko_Ali:
And she could totally be a Jedi in the new movie. I can't imagine Luke didn't want to train her.
GarandMarine:
Still regretful Abrams is the director.
And Luke didn't want to train her who? It's not like we know who the characters are yet.

One thing I will take issue with the is the claim that Star Wars is close to a Universal Story. This is incorrect. It IS a universal story, because Lucas wrote it with a copy of "A Hero With A Thousand Faces" and John Campbell's other myth analysis books and monomyth theory papers close at hand. Star Wars resonates because it IS our heroic mythic legends of days gone by from the Epic of Gilgamesh to the story of Sigurd the Volsung... and that one you might have heard about some hippy from Judea, in it's structure
Another point of divergence. I'm still pissed about the lack of potential for noted incredible bad ass Mara Jade in the forthcoming sequels. Scarlett Johansson could have played the part and she barely would have had to change her costume from Black Widow, just go over to the bad guys and start fucking people up. Possibly with a lightsaber if they wanted to level her up to that early.
Thrillho:
I didn't think I could get excited for Star Wars again.
That photo has proved me wrong.
Kugai:
We shall see.
