>>Beverly Spacebillies<<

Come and listen to a story about a boy named Annie
His mama looked so old everybody called her “Granny”
Then one day he was racing in his pod
And along come a Jedi with the name of Qui-Gon
-Jinn you know
-Light Saber, Force Push

Well the next thing you know old Anni’s called Vader
The kinfolk said “it was gonna happen sooner or later”
He’s got a son, but don’t know until Episode 3
And there’s more he don’t know that’s in the family tree
-Leia
-Daughter with the Force
-Senator in the Council, Tounged her brother

Ep 7, 8 and 9 were supposed to be the further adventures of Luke and his friends.

They will introduce a new device -- the "light walker."

[GeronL]

lol

It might work

[Revelation Concepts]

I am excited about this as well. Get the right director behind this and it could be very good. Looks like Lucas has written the outline for the next 3 movies. He tells about the sale to Disney and the future of the movies at the link: The Future of Star Wars

I have been waiting for this type of news for 20 years.

Just don't be surprised if your reaction to ep. 7 is like that of an adult who, in a fit of nostalgia, go out an buy a Twinkie hoping it will be as delicious as they remember it being in their youth only to suffer the revelation that it is the worst piece of crap they ever put in their mouth and what were they thinking.

The Return Of The Jed

Come and listen to a story about a Jedi named Jed
went thru the galaxy trying to keep his family fed
then one day was crusing by the moon
he saw a cute alien and said vava voom
nice figure she has
moons over Miami
unattached.

That's enough for now.

Find new actors... It’s ok, the story will survive...

[LS]

Thrawn! Yes, loved that series! Will read it again this week.

[LS]

That series with Thrawn was fantastic.

[Future Snake Eater]

I don’t know about all that...that’s like re-casting the original Star Trek crew...oh, wait

[Future Snake Eater]

I’m thinking Olivia Wilde as Mara Jade.

I’ve always thought Alan Rickman would be a great Grand Admiral Thrawn.

[LS]

Yum.

Good call on Richman

[eddie willers]

I’m thinking Olivia Wilde as Mara Jade.

Think of somebody else. She's a worse socialist than Janeane Garofalo and a lousy actress to boot.

She single handedly ruined "House".

[Jim Noble]

Mee-sah Jar-Jar, Princess Jasmine!

[Manic_Episode]

Hope they don’t animate the entire thing, beyond the special effects of course.

[scrabblehack]

It was more boring than hilarious.

[Dead Corpse]

Exactly... :-)

[Dead Corpse]

Exactly... :-)

[Dead Corpse]

Double tap. That’s never a good sign.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

It'll never happen. My expectations for any Star Wars film has never been high. It is escapist Sci-Fi fare for me.

Hey...I thought Dune was pretty entertaining. Except when it rained at the end. David Lynch was such a moron.
