Lucas Says Ford, Fisher and Hamill May Return For Next Star Wars

93,000 writes "According to Yahoo, George Lucas has let slip that Han, Leia and Luke will return for the next Star Wars installment. From the article: 'Lucas backtracked, saying, "Maybe I’m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them." Then he tried to cover his tracks: "I won’t say whether the negotiations were successful or not."'"

    Hopefully this will allow for an Abrams style reboot of the franchise as has been done with Star Trek and pass the torch to new young actors who can hopefully age gracefully for the next 10-15 years...

    now all they need is enough story and character to cover about 7 hours of movie for parts 7-9

    I heard that some of the clone war writers were pretty good -or maybe alan Dean Foster???

    She recently did a special called "Wishful Drinking", which is about her life, where she complained that someone on the internet say she looked like Elton John. She said it wasn't so much that they said it as much as she understood what they meant.

    She is actually pretty funny and it was a pretty good show.

    I understood her frustration. As an actress, people expected her to be 23 forever. On top of that, the years of hard drinking took a toll on her body and face so she aged TERRIBLY. I was hurt, personally hurt when I saw what all those years of drinking did to what I once regarded as one of the most beautiful women ever.

    In the book, everyone else in the cantina starts backing away because they knew how foolish it was to let Han get his hands under the table.

    Everyone else in the story knew that Han was going to shoot Greedo except Greedo. That made his death hilarious. He went after a guy with a bounty without even doing his homework.
