#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 That is why i dont really feel I need to see her in that role decades later after the drugs, booze and antidepression drugs have taken their toll.Sometimes you just cant go back.

Hlao-roo 389 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Darth Vader is about the deep, primal struggle between good and evil within us all. You know, man stuff. To make Star Wars about "mental breakdown and family issues" is to emasculate it. You might as well bring in Rachel Portman to write the music.

nightscape94 965 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 If, by design, you plan on having these new episodes act as direct extensions of 4-6 then it would almost feel weird not having those characters included. With the other planed projects taking place within this shared universe you could do whatever you want. But this series is a conintuation of a particular story line.

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Maybe Leia was so badly traumatized by Vader's torture on Death Star I that the revelation he was her old man sent her into drug induced overeating. Or our trio of heroes is so sick and tired of the galaxy wanting their autographs for defeating the evil Empire that they go into hiding. Wedge Antilles will spend three movies trying to put the band back together, which won't happen until late IX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,012 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Oh yes I know, but I knew about these beforehand. Early versions of Jedi are new to me.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Oh I assumed you knew about the actual drafts, it's just very interesting seeing them play out in a comic book rather than just a script. I'm only about 40 pages into The Making of Return of the Jedi because I don't have much free time at the moment but it seems to hit the same high standards of the previous books.

Matt C 454 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 A brochure from Disney's exhibit at the European Brand Licensing Show states that Episode VII is still tentatively due for a spring/summer 2015 release.http://collider.com/star-wars-episode-7-release-date/May is technically spring -- even though it's seen as the start of summer blockbuster season. I'm also curious that no films are currently scheduled for April 2015 at the moment. And save for Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1 and Monster Trucks on May 29, the following month is pretty light too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't know what the source is on Doug Chiang being involved, but if that's true, I'd welcome his return - his concept design work for the first two prequels was excellent.

Wycket 36 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yeah, designs were never the problem in the prequels, its the fact that they were all nearly realized as plastic looking CGI models that bothered people. With actual sets and props this time, the movie should have a great aesthetic at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 This is confusing. Some places are saying that it's just JJ and Kasdan taking their turn at Arndt's screenplay now, while others are making it seem like Arndt is totally scrubbed along with all his work, throwing what little we know (casting calls and the like) into doubt.
