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.

... I have a bad feeling about this.
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.

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?

Following a galaxy-wide financial crisis, Jar Jar Binks goes rogue, demanding the government honour his pension, holding Queen Leia and her consort Han Solo hostage on board a cargo ship. An ageing Luke Skywalker is recalled from Tattoine in pursuit of Binks, piloting a vintage last-millenium Falcon. This rust-bucket hasn't seen a mechanic in 30 years. A malfunction in the hyperdrive creates a temporal vortex. sending the ships of Binks and Skywalker back 60 years to when Obi Wan was still a young man.
The vortex dumps them in orbit of planet Naboo, where out of the cockpit Luke glimpses his parents Padme and Anakin undergoing a secret wedding. He fires on Jar Jar's ship, which bursts into flame and crashes into the lake retreat, thus killing Jar Jar, Padme and Anakin. Han and Leia are ejected into the lake shortly before impact.
C3PO and R2D2 are unscathed. Realising the paradox of accidentally killing his parents before conception, Luke exclaims "Nooooooooooooooooo!" immediately before he and Leia's existence is erased from history. Solo emerges from the lake alone.
And so any recollection of episodes 1-3 are instantaneously erased from the audience's memories thus creating a parallel timeline.
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.
