Been a slow SW news week. Anything new TC?
Was waiting on Latino Review's regular Friday update, and if true, this one is a doozy. No big spoilers, but A LOT of potential plot points. A bunch of it we've heard before, but with some clarifications here and there. Could be bunk, but most of it sounds pretty legit, and jives with everything we've heard so far. Too much to detail here, so head on over to Latino Review to soak it all in...

Main points of note (again, if true):
- Luke isn't missing for 30 years. Instead, he's been missing for only the past 10. So that's cool. That said, there is still apparently a raid on Endor just after the events of Return of the Jedi, and Vader's remains are still confiscated, but we likely won't see any of this in the movie. It may only be referenced.
- Leia is a career politician and leader of the Republic. Han is a retired veteran of the Republic fleet.
- Episode VII will apparently go into detail about the origins of the Jedi and the Sith. That's one of the themes Lucas always wanted to explore with this sequel trilogy - how ancient forces are still influencing events today.
All in all, I'm on board with everything mentioned. This just keeps sounding better and better. Check out the link for a lot more details, though. And again, I wouldn't be too worried about spoilers. We have no idea how much of this is legit, and it's all just set-up stuff anyway; just getting the chess pieces in order. There's one mention of a character who may or may not save the say in the end, but it's nothing unexpected.
