That's nice, bab! ^^
Back on subject: I will say that I am a bit nervous about the new Star Wars films. Episode 7 is coming out next year, and I've learned over the years that it's always a three year wait until the next installment to the trilogy gets released. That being said, I'm sure Episode 8 will be coming out in 2018, and 9 will be 2021.
My only concern is will the actors still be around for those? I mean, Harrison Ford is in his 70's, so if we lose him or Mark Hamil or Anthony Daniels in the process, what will happen to the films? I'm not too concerned about Carrie Fischer because she's still fairly young, and on average, women usually live longer than men.
I don't remember: Did Boba Fett die in Return of the Jedi? If not, it would be nice to see him return, and I'm sure Dee Bradley Baker will be doing his voice.
I don't think I'll need to think about James Earl Jones or Frank Oz since Darth Vader and Yoda both died in Jedi. Though, even though Obi-Wan died in Episode 4, he came back to Luke as a ghost in 5 and 6.
So, I don't know. I'll just wait and see what happens, I guess.

You do make a good point there. Maybe they're only appearing in the first of the new trilogy to pass the torch or something?
I have heard though that Harrison Ford injured his ankle on the set, so his part may be cut down to shorter than intended. Mind you, you could still keep him in if you keep him at the controls of the Millenium Falcon, right?
Also, with James Earl Jones, he may have been the voice of Vader, but he wasn't the body for Vader. For all we know, they'll get Hayden Christensen to be Anakin's Force Ghost, like in the DVD version of Jedi? And if he is younger, Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan? That is, If they choose to have the Force Ghosts.
In Expanded Universe, they did have a way for Fett to escape, but since these new films are coming, some of the Expanded Universe may be made Non-Canon now.
Time will tell for the New Trilogy, Eh?

I don't know about Harrison Ford after hearing what I've heard about him wanting to kill Han Solo off in the fifth or sixth film, if you think I'm talking false witness to this then please read this. www.webpronews.com/harrison-ford-wanted-to-kill-han-solo-2014-06If they had succeeded in doing this it does make you wonder who Princess Leia would marry at the end of the film. "Return of the Jedi."

Yeah, I did hear the reason Han was put into Carbonite in the Empire Strikes Back was because Harrison Ford was considering dropping from the film. It works better to keep him in and alive, doesn't it?
I even hear ideas that George Lucas had for Episode VII, around the time Return of the Jedi was shown was to have the Falcon be destroyed.
Here's hoping they don't kll or destroy any of the iconic things from the Original Trilogy, eh?

That is, If they choose to have the Force Ghosts. I argue those on so many levels. It was the voice of Janes Earl Jones that really made the character of Darth Vader. I don't know if they'll use Hayden Christiansen considering how much older he is now. Also, I doubt they'll use Ewan McGregor. Even though Alec Guiness is dead, using Ewan would create a major paradox! What do you mean by Force Ghosts? You mean Hollywood is forcing them to play the ghosts?

No, when he means Force Ghosts, it's explained that Obi-Wan was able to talk to Qui-Gon, since he died in Episode 1, the novel to Episode III explains that Yoda was able to teach Obi-Wan to talk to Qui-Gon with the Force, how Luke Skywalker was able to do this with Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin, I don't know, they never really explained it in Episodes 4, 5 and 6.
Hope this answers your question Belchic.

They can do whatever they want, I'm going to skip this one because I know they'll do something stupid and screw up the franchise. Take at look at Abrams' Star Trek with Vulcan getting wiped out in the middle of the film.
The new blue X-Wing is nice though. The A-Wing in "Jedi" was supposed to be blue but changed to maroon when they found the blue didn't work well with their special effects.

Force Ghosts are when Obi-Wan appears to Luke in Episode V & VI. I talk about Hayden Christensen because he plays Anakin's Ghost in the DVD Version of Return of the Jedi. It's only been ten years, don't think he's aged THAT much. And I talk about James Earl Jones being the voice because he isn't Vader's Body. That is David Prowse. When Luke takes Vader's Helmet off, that isn't James Earl Jones underneath. This is what the one who plays Vader's Body really sounds like; www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSm9DDxQv8ESince this is Episode VII too, I don't think James Earl Jone's voice would be needed, would it? I know they were meant to use B-Wing's more too, but the chroma key bugged on them too, didn't it? They're also reconstructing the Millenium Falcon too! 1.bp.blogspot.com/-SkcoAcPRiiQ/U43jVhesCqI/AAAAAAAAsRU/W_RvYL6CrsE/s1600/Star+Wars+Episode+VII+7+set+pictures+09+Millenium+Falcon.jpgWhat you think, Pups? =3
