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."'"
Luke, Han, Lea, Gweedo, hell, they can bring back the goddamn Ewoks if they want, as long they keep George Lucas himself out of the crew, they'll be fine.
I haven't healed from Howard the Duck yet.

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???
-I'm just sayin'
What he said was that they may APPEAR in the next film, but what he means is that he's using footage from the first three movies, and digitally recreating them. The human actors will not be involved.
... I have a bad feeling about this.
Did Han sign first?

Maybe he became a Saint. After all, he was dead and holy by that time.
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.
Do you really think they wouldn't be able to afford him? This is a new Star Wars movie being made by Disney, they can and will spend whatever amount of money they need to get whatever it is they want, and they'll still turn a profit even if it sucks.
Try not to take me more seriously than I take myself.
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.

While Fisher seems to have confirmed it. Can't see Hamill has anything else to do.
Mark Hamill has become one of the most successful and sought after vocal talents in the business.
Film and television animation, video games, audio books and so on. The definitive voice of The Joker.
Seriously, who the fuck is "Lea"?
I know it's too much to ask the Slashdot editors to check their work, but how did THAT misspelling make it past how many geeks' eyeballs?
I only post comments when someone on the internet is wrong.
yea, sure looks like Mark has been sitting on his but for the last 25+ years

Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
Now that JJ Abrams is directing both Star Wars and Star Trek, can we get William Shatner to play a villain in the new Star Wars movie just for the entertainment value of the fan bases exploding at each other?
Curse your filthy mouth for saying this:
"Hopefully this will allow for an Abrams style reboot..."
JJ Abrams is all hype and money. His concepts are all a tease with no substance. Substance comes of course, but in his projects what we usually call 'plot', 'writing', etc are slapdash afterthoughts. He benefits from the fact that ~60% of the population will watch whatever is playing in theaters that week due to artificial scarcity of film choices.
I'm not even a Star Wars fanboi...if anything I'll claim to be a Trekkie. If you have any notion of Star Trek as a franchise and why fans like it, the 10 Minute Star Trek 2 trailer that played before The Hobbit should be all you need to see: http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/12/19/star-trek-into-darkness-first-trailer-rewind-theater
JJ Abrams is shit. That doesn't mean his projects are doomed. In the big-budget studio world, franchises like this become so monolithic it usually prevents stupid shit like Abrams' ridiculous lens flare fetish. Put any random 30-something film buff in his chair and let him bark orders and bullshit concepts for action scenes and you'd get the same result.
IMHO, Abrams' shit tendencies will *not* ruin Star Wars like they ruined Star Trek. Too many people with money on this understand how shitty Abrams is...
Thank you Dave Raggett
When 900 years old you are, look as good you will not. It should be 900 years after Yavin. Because look as good, he does not.

As rubycodez says, "drinking" isn't the primary recreational drug involved, but yeah. 'S a shame.
But counter to stereotypes of the aging ex-starlet, she does seem to be a truly nice person, and is taking/has taken the let-down a lot better than I would ever have.
And she has survived her drinking/drug days, and has grown into a better person, that's more than you can say about a lot of celebrities. I give her props just for that. Not a quitter, Princess Leia is.
