- will there will be a scene that has Han shooting first?

No, it's Disney.

- will R2 have his enhanced abilities from the prequels or will he be the R2 from originals?

I bet he will have all new abilities that we hate.

- will Ewoks and Gungans pollute this trilogy?

Yes, and all new aliens that we will hate.

- will we return to the Mos Eisley Cantina only to find it has been taken over by a bunch of GD Tatooine hipsters?

I see a return to the planet, but no.

- will we find out Boba Fett didn't actually die in the pit and got out?

I hope not.

6) No mention of midichlorians, Gungans, Ewoks or anyone breaking the ice by saying "I don't like sand" or using "wizard" as an exclamation.

I bet we see both alien races as well as some mention of mdidchlorians.

7) Han Solo as a smuggler king; not the whipped husband-in-chief he became in the later EU.

He will have a sweet collection of crystal skulls to show us.

Nicely done

wow, Whiskey02 needs to rename himself Whiskey0bitter.

Disney made Avengers ya know? Wasn't full of kids and puppy dogs and smiley faces.

Captain America:WS had a lot of death too. Thought it was borderline ok for an 8 year old. Don't think we have to worry about Abrams hacking apart guys with a light saber in the new one.

It's a unit of time!!!

It's actually distance.

Han cuts across areas of the maw where the risk of being pulled into a black hole is greater. Thus he's able to shorten the actual distance of the Kessel Run to less than 12 parsecs.

It's all right there in the expanded universe, I MEAN STAR WARS LEGENDS.

That's the official explanation, but I still think they just screwed it up the first time.

It's not cannon!

Yep. Lucas doesn't admit mistakes, ever, as far as I can tell. He's also a big fan of just making stuff up on the fly and then claiming it was in his grand plan all along.

May the 4th be with you all today...

Happy Star Wars Day!

May the fourth be with you.

How about Han saying, "I shot first" or "No, I shot first" in response to a question? The roar from the old-timers in the audience would be epic.

It makes me sad that this generation doesn't know life with only the original trilogy. Actual conversation with a 6 year old today:
Me: which Star Wars do you want to watch?
6y/o: the second one.
(I put in Empire)
6y/o: no, that's the fifth one. Put in attack of the clones.
Me: ....uh.... (Jaw on floor)

You mean they go by the episode numbers? Crazy!

Did you spank his ass and then ground him? That kind of heresy calls for Imperial level punishment.

So it would be less confusing if he asked for the 5th one when wanting the episode 2?

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Order of the Jedi

is this real?

Nothing official

Just like other Star Wars films in the past, the episode number is not the official title of the movie, so it was only a matter of time before this title came to light. Though Order of the Jedi has yet to be confirmed as the official title.

Damn good title, IMO.

A random Twitter user claiming to have ties to production, reported by a site - without any linked sources whatsoever - called "MSTAR NEWS"? Seriously, guys?

Also, "The Order of the Jedi" is literally the most bland title imaginable.

Would they really call Episode VI "Return of the Jedi," and then call Episode VII "The Order of the Jedi"? Not in a million years.

The title won't be revealed 'til Comic Con in July at the earliest, but I wouldn't be surprised if they waited even longer and debuted it with the first trailer, whenever that may be.

I hope they call it "How I learned to stop worrying and love the Dark Side."

I agree. Terrible, that title is.

It's better than The Phantom Menace.

Attack. of. the. clones.

Also, you need to lighten up TC, this is just the Entertainment Board, not your website. Nothing wrong with posting rumors once in a while.

Ha, lighten up? If a rumor is wrong, I'm going to say something. Why would I not? My site or not, why would anyone let a rumor persist if they knew it was wrong?

Agreed. I didn't say it was good or bad. I just said it was bland.
