not entirely opposed to this, I like her singing okay and I have to say it's in the spirit of the original movies to build the cast out of largely untried actors in the lead roles. If they start announcing gracefully aged British character actors for the secondary parts I'll be really impressed. (But please no Alan Rickman as Darth Severus.)

Yeah she might be a terrific actor for all I know, whatevs. Basically I'm approaching these new films with interest and an open mind. If they turn out to be good then bonus, if they're shit then it's not like the franchise hasn't been already debased.

How about if they cast Justin Lee Collins as Jar-Jar Binks' son?

both.

Looks like the Jake Lloyd's screen role was playing a character called J.J.

Think about it.

*first screen role, that is

I do not like the new Storm Trooper costumes (link because pic is large):

It's all about merchandising, duh.

yknow we improved that Ewok song with the special edition, but what it's still really missing is a sick drop.

Prepare your headshots:

A young man aged between 20 and 25, witty and smart, fit but not classically handsome,

Man in late twenties, also fit, but this one is handsome and confident.

Late teenage girl, independent, good sense of humour, also… physically fit .

Second young female, also late teens, tough, smart and physically fit.

Man in his forties, obviously physically fit, this one is a military type.

A man of around thirty or so, this one is an intellectual type.

Finally, a guy aged around seventy, strong opinions and tough.

Finally, a guy aged around seventy, strong opinions and tough.

I can't wait to see Emperor Cos Dashit finally realized on the big screen.

it's cool that Reel 2 Real is writing the casting calls for this

So they're going with a cast primarily composed of good-looking young people, you say...

Finally, a guy aged around seventy, strong opinions and tough.

crazy that they're actually having a casting session for han solo

obviously physically fit

lol s1ocki i thought the same thing

maybe they are going for an ensemble like this!

god i love that movie

what do you mean "like this"? There's your cast.

doogie-doogie howser

Finally, a guy aged around seventy, strong opinions and tough.

So, this maybe implies Ford won't return for this movie, right? I don't think they'd have a third old mentor figure besides Luke and Han... Unless the old dude is the bad guy.

who knows, it could be like, the hero(ine)'s dad or something

Finally, a guy aged around seventy, strong opinions and tough.

Calling it now. It's the "That's so wizard, Annie" guy.

I'm not gonna lie to you, there's already an "Expanded Universe" novel, Tatooine Ghost, in which that dude plays a major role:

. . . Han and Leia embark on a journey through Tatooine in order to retrieve the art piece, battling the Imperial forces and Tusken Raiders with the help of Jawas and a Squib trio, Emala, Sligh and Grees. During their voyage, Leia finds out more about her late father's past, and runs into Anakin's old friend, Kitster Banai, who reveals to her what her father was like before he left Tatooine under the guidance of the late Qui-Gon Jinn. Leia also retrieves a holojournal recorded by Shmi, revealing details of her life in between Anakin's departure from Tatooine to his return to his home planet. After Leia saves Han from being dehydrated and lost in Tatooine's vast, dry desert, it is implied that they sleep together, which would indicate that this tryst was what led to the conception of their children, Jaina and Jacen.

Not surprised in the slightest.

Thank you for not judging me for knowing about it.

For I am deeply ashamed.

we judged you long ago for far less, lol :)

;_;

A young man aged between 20 and 25, witty and smart, fit but not classically handsome,
Man in late twenties, also fit, but this one is handsome and confident.
And Captain Lando Tucker, a dedicated young man with no characteristics.

to what extent is Lucas involved this time round?

holding out hope for Darth Icky

Thank you for not judging me for knowing about it.
I was being charitable and assumed you Googled it.

For I am deeply ashamed.
As you should be.

to what extent is Lucas involved this time round?
IIRC, he may have handed off an outline. Other than that, not at all. He sold his toys and went home.

ah right thanks.

only gonna see this if billy dee and harrison are in it, maybe if carrie fisher (but only if she plays herself).

read that wrong

Cinematographer Dan Mindel ASC, BSC will be reteaming with JJ Abrams to shoot Star Wars Episode VII. That comes as no surprise as Mindel worked with Abrams on the Star Trek films and Mission: Impossible III. The big news is that Mindel says that Episode 7 will be shot on Kodak film stock 5219 film, NOT digital cameras like the last couple prequel movies. The Phantom Menace was the last Star Wars film to be shot with film cameras (although some trivia fanatics will note, the movie did include a digitally photographed shot).

I imagine that trivia fanatics are the only real fans of the Phantom Menace

oh man i hope they're just doing that to troll george lucas

maximum troll would be a ton of practical effects

would watch Star Wars as creature-shopped by Guillermo del Toro.

yeah, a lot of the stuff around this movie is a repudiation of the prequels. that doesn't mean the new ones are any good, but there's definitely a sense of deliberate palate-cleansing

wonder if lucas sits in his mansion and sulks about this

no wait he's working on the "experimental" movies he's promised us for decades*

*would genuinely blow my mind if lucas came out with some $1,000,000 expanded cinema frampton-meets-brakhage-meets-tscherkassky experimental nonnarrative IMAX feature.
