According to Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm co-chair and now brand manager of the “Star Wars” franchise, meetings are already underway with possible writers for the forthcoming films, which will reportedly be based on the characters that were central to the second trilogy: Luke, Leia and Han Solo.

From above article:
quote:
“As for directors, I think all ‘Star Wars’ fans are sighing relief that Lucas will only be a creative consultant and not directing the new film. If you think about it, the film considered by most to be the best of the series, ‘Empire Strikes Back,’ is the film he had the least involvement with,” he said. “It is pretty much assumed that Kathleen Kennedy will be overseeing the projects so the obvious choice is Steven Spielberg, who sits on the board of Lucasfilm. He is George Lucas’s best friend, has worked with him on the ‘Indiana Jones’ movies, and Kennedy is his long time producing partner so it makes sense.”

It will be about Luke rebuilding the Jedi... A rival group will pop up as well, using the dark side. Movie one will end with the seeming defeat of the dark jedi.

Movie two will see that the dark jedi were not defeated, and they will take the republic by surprise. Movie will end with a darker tone, the characters not sure if they can defeat them.

Movie three will see the redemption of a character, either Han as a drunk, raging old man or some dark jedi that has a link to the original triumvirate of dogooders. Possibly both. All will end well.

Kill off Luke in the first scene and you have ready made drama. You don't really even have to have him doing anything other than lying dead in a casket.

Wouldn't he just become a ghost and there won't be a body?

If anything, doesn't that help? Use CGI to help make him look better, and his career after Luke Skywalker has shown that he is a pretty good voice actor.

may sound terrible, and I agree, but that is the formula nearly all preplanned trilogies have used.

Umm...it was a full room gyro thingy. 15-20 people crammed into a "space craft" and had 3 screens inside it.

Star Tours

Star Tours was a good ride.

Then, they updated it......and totally redeemed themselves!!!

Sorry, had a Dumb and Dumber moment there.

The original was good, the new Star Tours is awesome. Probably my (and my two sons) favorite ride at all the Disney parks.

I like the idea of restarting 40 years or so after rotj. You can cameo the original actors because that's how long it has been in real life since the first trilogy and call back to events in I-VI for continuity, but you're past most of the EU so you can reboot without explicitly invalidating the EU. That gives SW a fresh but still familiar canvas to engage the new generation and give those already familiar with it the warm fuzzies. It also sidesteps the EU, so you neither tick off the uber nerds nor have to contort around canon that's already pretty contradictory and of which a large percentage is absolutely awful.

That said, I'd really like to see a trilogy of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. That could be very, very good in the right hands. Lots of good material in there, although I thought the idea of Zonama Sekot was pretty dumb.

***SPOILER***



Replace Zonama Sekot with an ancient civilization from the Star Wars galaxy (perhaps Centerpoint Station was built to exile the Yuuzhan Vong), and you've got all the same setup and resolution without the blatant shark-jumping idea of a conscious planet.

Man does time fly. Six years and four movies later, here we are.

Star Wars films remind me of junk novels. They have a new film about as frequently as Clive Cussler has a new novel. (With the same plot)
