Kugai:
Next you'll be telling ua Mace Windu returns as well
TheEvilDog:
Yeah, turned out he didn't lose his hand, he lost his eye. He also runs a law enforcement agency after changing his name to Nick Fury.
During that time, he trained a small number of padawans.
"HULK LIKE LIGHT STICK!" *accidentally pokes self in the eye with a lightsaber* "HULK HATE PUNY LIGHT STICK!"
And thus, the Hulk was responsible for the destruction of Alderaan.
VonKleist:
According to all sources "Empire" and "Jedi" writer Lawrence Kasdan is back with the franchise and will co-write the next film with some other dude. At least itīll be interesting to see wether Kasdan still has it. He DID also wrote the first Indiana Jones, so letīs see if he still has it 30 years later.
If you check the man's filmography itīs a bit of hit and miss but mostly solid movies and some, the older ones, really great.
Sigh.. they shoulda just made "Shadows of the Empire" back then...
Oh and fun fact:Lawrence Kasdan wrote the script or something for the video game based on Shadows.
I read the novel ages ago and while I don't think much of these spin-off kind of novels (I used to read them Battletech novels *shudders*) that one was pretty solid imho.

So there's been a lot of news lately.
One tiny particle of that news has been about George Lucas selling Lucasfilm to Disney for just over $4 billion.
Disney have said that feature films will most definitely be a part of their taking-over of Lucasfilm (and expect Indiana Jones at some point, I guess) and that a "new feature film" will be released in 2015. Whether this will be entitled "Episode VII" is another story. Lucas is staying on as creative consultant, but I suppose the exciting part is that if a decent director is brought in, this new movie (and supposedly, new trilogy) could be brilliant. Out of Lucas's hands, it might be more cohesive than the last trilogy that was released. (Personally, II & III were brilliant, I is getting more annoying to watch as I age, and Hayden Christensen is a terrible, terrible actor)
Essentially, Disney seemed to have let their various money-making factions that they've aquired over the years a lot of independence. Marvel have had their ups and downs, but its been ups since Iron Man came out. Then there's the Pixar thing, with Cars, Toy Story, all that. Very successful. Avengers just pulled in record figures. Its a good time to be a part of that, I think. Disney are obviously a corporation after franchises that they can milk forever more, and while I hate that Star Wars is going to be involved in that, I also love it. It needs a good vision from someone who isn't also writing and directing the thing, surrounded by yes men. A fresh vision could 'reboot' Star Wars in a very good way.
Also, they're talking TV series and a hell of a lot of other stuff. I'm quite excited, but the buyout in general has been interesting, although rather inevitable when you think about it.
I also have no idea where the plot will go for a new film, or who will be in it. I hope that the guys in charge have the clairvoyance to NOT get all the old actors in (Harrison Ford is NEVER coming back), and just do something new. Lots of Expanded Universe stuff to draw from but stuff like the Thrawn or Jedi Academy trilogy rely far too much on Luke Skywalker being the new self-appointed head of the New Jedi Order.
Anyway, geeking out here.

Hayden isn't terrible. He's been fine in every other movie he's been in. According to both him and others, he was told by Lucas to make his character 2d, since evil people can't be sympathetic, ever."
Kugai:
Yes, well Darth Georgious would know about that, wouldn't he
