What I've been thinking about the STAR WARS Franchise going forward, and our game, and one other thing (BIG SPOILERS INSIDE) goodvibe61 Jan 04, 19:07

completely disagree slipping jimmy Jan 04, 19:22

So you're saying you think this movie would've been far more successful without Harrison Ford in it. OK, we agree to disagree. {nm} goodvibe61 Jan 04, 20:38

not successful. better. {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 04, 20:47

OK. Again, agree to disagree. I keep thinking of some kid that's going to play Han Solo and not Ford in a prequel. No thanks. {nm} goodvibe61 Jan 04, 20:54

Kasdan + young Han Solo = gold {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 04, 20:58

We'll see. Young Indiana Jones. No thanks. This Han flick won't have these iconic actors. I wonder what it will take to get me interested. goodvibe61 Jan 04, 21:19

Might make a difference in what version I see, but makes ZERO difference in seeing a film. Actually less than zero, since promoting that as JDolphin Jan 04, 21:50

I think there could be a lot of people interested in a Han Solo anthology. See him back in the days of the Kessel Run. How he got the Dorfman Jan 05, 04:29

explain how a unit of length became a unit of time {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 05, 10:12

It was explained in the expanded universe. He found a shortcut lol Dorfman Jan 05, 12:11

Yes. Spoilers of course. second gary Jan 05, 08:23

Luke is the Keystone, we are all set. {nm} skunkrunner Jan 04, 19:29

Luke, SHOULD, {nm} queensguy Jan 04, 19:35

Luke, SHOULD, {nm} queensguy Jan 04, 19:35

Luke SHOULD be the keystone, but Ford always carried the day, because he had the acting chops. {nm} queensguy Jan 04, 19:38

Maybe Fisher, and Hamill, can eventually pull it off, but we have a better chance with Mayew. {nm} queensguy Jan 04, 19:42

The Han Solo movie could be dicey if they don't nail him right, worry that could do the worst, Boba Fett, Yoda and Rogue One Baron_Darcon Jan 04, 22:06

We should see a lot of Bathans die. {nm} Dorfman Jan 05, 04:30

that's Rogue One {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 05, 10:14

yeah.. his post mentioned Rogue One {nm} Dorfman Jan 05, 12:13

True. second gary Jan 05, 07:22

Shoot, if those were 'acting chops" displayed by Ford in VII, I'm scared to see what Hamill has in store for us in VIII {nm} sberg23 Jan 05, 13:00

these movies are going to break records over and over IMO. the lucas famine is over, and now fans will feast upon star wars. {nm} Exogen Jan 04, 22:28

Lucas created 95% of everything that is in the Force Awakens {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 04, 22:40

the lucas famine is over. Exogen Jan 04, 22:46

he was going to make Ep VII to XI before Disney offered to buy the company {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 04, 22:49

mind sharing a source? I have extreme trouble believing that. {nm} Exogen Jan 04, 23:00

"Lucas already started to develop the next three Star Wars films, but he knew a third trilogy was a 10-year commitment at least." slipping jimmy Jan 04, 23:05

considering some other things he's said recently, I'll hope you excuse me for taking that with a massive grain of salt. {nm} Exogen Jan 04, 23:08

he literally told the same thing verbatim in the Charlie Rose interview a week ago {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 05, 00:12

Independently Marketsaw came across the sequel trilogy development about a year before the Disney deal and {nm} notfabio Jan 05, 07:07

Hamill at least has mentioned Lucas approached him and others before the Disney deal about them {nm} notfabio Jan 05, 07:08

why is it so hard for you to imagine him making all this up? do you really think he changed his mind after 2 decades of fan resentment? {nm} Exogen Jan 05, 10:17

why is it so hard for you to accept that he was. he gave the treatments to Disney. they threw them in the trash {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 05, 10:47

because they were probably trash. it doesn't matter anyway. Exogen Jan 05, 12:08

Yes, BUT House of Mouse promptly jettisoned Lucas' ideas for episode 7-9 {nm} The Force-Ghost of DTravel Jan 05, 12:38

the old characters got me in the theater, but the new characters make we want to see STAR8 and 9...and they won't be in the spinoffs {nm} tealfan Jan 04, 22:33

I liked the new characters just fine. But seeing Luke and Leia are what have me thinking about STAR8. And maybe goodvibe61 Jan 04, 23:07

I too was disappointed that there was no Lando in Episode VII. {nm} Dorfman Jan 05, 04:31

I agree, I very much enjoyed the new characters and I don't see why they can't be just as iconic as Han, Luke, and Leia someday. {nm} ingenious Jan 04, 23:26

Come on man...maybe Daisy becomes a Keira Knightley or something. But Boyega...come on now! {nm} lhayes37 Jan 05, 08:18

Boyega I thought was a bit over the top. Ridley was superb, and I liked Oscar Issac {nm} Dorfman Jan 05, 09:50

IMO people are already very invested in the new characters. Han Solo helped Episode VII, but people will go to VIII for Rey, Finn, etc., {nm} CG63 Jan 05, 08:54

+1 {nm} Dorfman Jan 05, 09:50

+1, plus Luke. Abrams is very skilled at this kind of thing, and he and a savvy 2016 Hamill can make better use of Luke than 70's Hamill {nm} FranklynStreet Jan 05, 13:22

Rian Johnson is directing Ep. VIII {nm} slipping jimmy Jan 05, 15:16
