Fisher to Reprise Princess Leia in New 'Star Wars'
By Krista Wick | ET Online – 16 hours ago.. .

 
Not long after Luke Skywalker himself (Mark Hamill) revealed to ET that he was in talks to join the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII cast, Carrie Fisher has confirmed she will indeed dust off the gold bikini, so to speak, and reprise her role as Princess Leia.

When asked point blank by The Palm Beach Illustrated whether Luke's sister would return for the much-anticipated J.J. Abrams-directed sequel, Fisher said "yes," but warns that filmgoers should not expect a sexy return from the screen icon.
 
"She's in an intergalactic old folks' home," imagines Fisher of her "elderly" reprisal in Episode 7. "I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle."

Maybe we will get lucky and Jar-Jar comes back!

Since you said "lucky", I presume that you meant to finish the sentence "and we'll get to see him horribly killed by his own stupidity".

Who wants to see that, though?  How about no Jar-Jar at all?

Harrison Ford On Star Wars Return: 'I Think It's Happening'
Access Hollywood – Wed, Mar 20, 2013 2:20 PM PDT...


Dust off the Millennium Falcon - Han Solo might be back for the new "Star Wars" film after all!

Amid constant speculation about whether the franchise's original big three - Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher - would return for the upcoming seventh big screen installment (directed by [hack]), Ford seemed willing to throw fuel on the fire this week, when he was asked if the old gang was getting back together.

"I think it's almost true. I'm looking forward to it," Ford told WGN9 News, after being asked if the original "Star Wars" actors would make an appearance in the new film.

"It's not in the bag yet, but I think it's happening," he added.

Casting rumors began to fly back in February, when the Latino Review claimed the now-70-year-old Ford would, in fact, reprise his iconic role.

Next came a quip from the original Princess Leia (Fisher) about her return to the franchise, who after saying she would be back, joked that she envisioned Leia "in an intergalactic old folks' home."

Disney has yet to comment on any of the casting rumors.

"Star Wars: Episode VII" has a tentative release date of 2015.

New 'Star Wars: Episode VII' to be filmed in England
Reuters – 19 hours ago...


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Filming of the new "Star Wars" movie will take place in England, returning the franchise to its British roots, Disney's Lucasfilm said on Friday.

"We've devoted serious time and attention to revisiting the origins of 'Star Wars' as inspiration for our process on the new movie, and I'm thrilled that returning to the UK for production and utilizing the incredible talent there can be a part of that," Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm president, said in a statement.

The six previous "Star Wars" films were all partly filmed in the UK at famed studios including Pinewood, Elstree and Shepperton.

Disney announced three new "Star Wars" films in October 2012, when it purchased George Lucas' Lucasfilm company for $4.05 billion.

The news was welcomed by the British finance minister, George Osborne, who tweeted on Friday: "Great news for our creative industries. May the force be with us."

"Star Wars: Episode VII" will be made by director [[jerk, sphincter] hack], and will further boost the British film industry that has been regenerated by the popular James Bond and Harry Potter film franchises.

The "Star Wars" franchise has grossed more than $4.4 billion at the worldwide box office since the first film was released in 1977.

"Star Wars: Episode VII' is scheduled to be released in 2015.

Luke's Change: an Inside Job

If you're going to do fake conspiracy theories, get the facts straight.  Wedge isn't the one who missed the shot, he covered Luke's run till he got shot, then bugged out, which is why he also survived...and blew up the second Death star.

I personally find interesting the latest recent releases of movies in the footsteps of old classics like star wars and star trek. They are obviously better done thanks the more refined use of computer graphics, and both Wars and Trek are been made as prequel until now, maybe as sequel may not have the same impulse or be a huge [nonsense], as often happens with the sequel also of other genre (for example john rambo, indiana jones and the kingdom of crystall skull).
Maybe new Trek nothing to do with the old one, but i like it so good ... sorry for the ages

I will say this...

Enough of these so-called "news" articles that has everyone and their brother "expressing interest" in playing and let's get to real juicy details. Then we can all begin nerdraging or nerdgasming. Whatever way the mouse takes us.

I mean god, they even had the guy that played Wicket the Ewok in on the act. Slow news days?

The media is in on the Death Star cover-up...

My optimism is probably not welcome in this thread, but personally, I'm looking forward to it.

When Lucas sold the rights to Disney, I was among the few who cheered. Fact is, Disney does good work, and on the occasion they handle someone else's work, they generally do so gently and respectfully. Disney fronted the money for Tron, and otherwise left it alone. Disney does a fantastic job localizing Studio Ghibli's work. If anyone can handle Star Wars properly, it's Disney. And with Lucas out of the director's chair again, we might even get some good acting out of the actors.

When I heard JJ Abams was directing, I knew they'd put it in fairly decent hands. His directing style is a bit Bigger and Louder than I generally prefer... but I honestly can't think of any other contemporary directors that could handle the material properly. EVERYBODY does Big and Loud these days, but if your aesthetics are properly tuned, you can feel the Trek in his new Trek movies, and I fully expect there'll be some excellent Star Wars underlying the special-effects extravaganza.

I just hope they kill off Chewbacca.

Ever met Peter Mayhew in real life? He is a real sarcastic jerk. From reading around on various boards, I do not think I ambeing unfair in my assessment.

I saw him at a convention.  Was not even there to see him. I do not usually care for celebrities, I just wanted to game. He was outside puffing on a cig. I just said hello and it was like I spit in his mom's face. Not to mention he talked very condescending to me. wow. If you do not like the convention circuit and hate the people, do not do it.

Oh? What's that? You are a sucky actor who can only make money now because you can not play anything else but a dude in a rug costume years back?  Even Lucas told the EU novelists it was okay to kill the dude off. That says something.
