Nou als het goed is komt er dus in 2015 een nieuwe Starwars Film - episode 7. Nu is de vraag waar gaat deze film over?
De Wiki zegt het volgende:
Episode VII would begin roughly 20 (or perhaps 30 or 40) years after the end of Return of the Jedi.[6][7]
R2-D2 and C-3PO would be the only characters who might continue through all nine films.[6][8][9]
The trilogy would deal with the rebuilding of the republic.[10]
"It's like a saga, the story of a group of people, a family" (Lucas).[6]
The focus would be on Luke Skywalker’s journey to becoming the premier Jedi knight, with Luke's sister (who was not Leia) appearing in Episode VIII, and the first appearance of the Emperor, and Luke's ultimate confrontation with him, in Episode IX (a storyline as planned pre-1980, according to Kurtz).[2][11][5]
Luke would have a romantic relationship with a female love interest.[4]
The main theme of the trilogy would be moral and philosophical problems, such as the necessity for moral choices and the wisdom needed to distinguish right from wrong, justice, confrontation, and passing on what you have learned.[3][12]
The key actors, Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford as Han Solo and Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, would appear, in their 60s or 70s.[3][13][14]
In Episode IX, Hamill would cameo, "like Obi Wan handing the lightsaber down to the next new hope" (according to Hamill).[15]
Starwars Episode 7 Questionaire:
1. Wat is volgens jouw het verhaal?
2. Welke characters moeten er IN en welke characters moeten er zeker NIET in?
3. Welke planeten komen volgens jouw in de Film?
4. Zal men inhaken op de Expanded Universe?
5. Wat wil je nog verder over kwijt?
Kep diversen hopen eigenlijk.
Ik hoop op Dark Empire 1 en 2 en Empire's End (kep de comic bundels hiervan) waarin Luke het opneemt tegen the Emperor die velen "clones" heeft. Die wil eigenlijk een zoon van Leia hebben om in te clonen, Luke op zoek naar Jedi om de council te herbouwen, Leia en the Force, Chewbacca's familie, Mara Jade, Boba Fett, Grand Admiral Thrawn's trilogy.
Zo maar ff enkele hopen van mij.
Zou leuk zijn als er oude acteurs in meedoen, maar zijn ze niet te oud om hun eigen character te doen?
En zou een nieuwe Luke of Han net zo cool zijn? Voor een nieuweling aan de SW universum maakt het geen drol uit, maar voor de oudere fans onder ons, zal het raar zijn om een Luke te zien die niet op Hamill lijkt.
Ik hoop ook dat er niet een compleet nieuw verhaal komt, die lak heeft aan de bestaande expanded universe. De SW timeline vind ik wel dat ze die beetje in ere moeten houden.
Ik denk dat we van Disney qua kwaliteit film best hoge verwachtingen mogen hebben. Zie de Pirates films en Marvel films.

Starwars Episode 7 Questionaire:
1. Wat is volgens jouw het verhaal?
Persoonlijk denk ik dat het verhaal inderdaad gaat over de herbouw van de Republic of dat Republic al herbouwt is. Luke Skywalker speelt een belangrijke rol misschien niet aktief als persoon maar wel als rode draad door de nieuwe triologie.
De MAIN characters zijn allemaal nieuw en zijn zonen of dochters van de oude MAIN characters (epi 4 /tm 6)
Ik hoop dat de overblijfselen van de Empire weer een grote rol gaat spelen met grote space battles 🙂 vol met Xwings/Ywings en Tie Fighters.
Trawn als MAIN boef zal denk ik NIET voorkomen in de nieuwe triologie want dat is Expanded Universe en LucasFilm zou dan met heel zaken rekening moeten gaan houden welke al beschreven staan in de Expanded Universe en daar houdt Lucas niet zo van.
Ook hoop ik dat de Focus minder op Jedi/Sith zal liggen ( nu zijn deze volgens de lezing uitgestorven op een enkeling na )
2. Welke characters moeten er IN en welke characters moeten er zeker NIET in?
WEL: Ja de oude characters natuurlijk -Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, Bob Fett, R2D2 en CPRO en hopelijk meer en het liefst natuurlijk met de orginele acteurs! ok ze zullen zeer oud zijn maargoed dat maakt mij niet uit. Geweldig als Harrison Ford nog een keer in de huid kruipt van Han Solo want hij IS HAN SOLO en niemand kan die rol spelen.
Harrison Ford heeft lang geleden aangekondigt dat hij nooit meer Han Solo zou spelen maargoed Lucas zou ook nooit meer Ep 7 t/m 9 maken.
NIET:
De volgende characters hoeft voor mij niet zo: JAR JAR BINKS 🙂 de rest maakt me niet uit.
3. Welke planeten komen volgens jouw in de Film?
Zeker:
Tatooine
Corusant
Hopen:
Bespin?
Hoth?
Endor?
Yavin?
4. Zal men inhaken op de Expanded Universe?
Nee ze zullen de Expanded Universe niet gebruiken in het verhaal van de nieuwe triologie. Misschien dat ze een character lenen hier en daar - Mara Jade?, Joruus C'baoth?
5. Wat wil je nog verder over kwijt?
Ja niet veel ik vind het helemaal geweldig in wat voor vorm Episode 7 ook uit zal komen en begin al met aftellen !

“The new Star Wars movie will be really different from the very first frame! Instead of starting with the classic Twentieth Century Fox logo and music, it will start with the Disney logo and music!,” Access’ Scott “Movie” Mantz said. “Wow, so many possibilities! No matter what people thought of the prequels, the prospect of an all-new ‘Star Wars’ movie is really exciting!”
Hmm ???
De Wiki van Episode 7 is aangevuld met:
the plot will not be based on the various novels, graphic novels and other materials that have continued the story of these three characters and have previously been considered Star Wars canon. Rather, Episode VII is expected to be an entirely original story.[9]
Ik vind een nieuwe verhaal lijn best leuk, maar dan mag het geen episode 7 tm 9 heetten
Mark Hamill interview over Episode VII, VIII en IX in Entertainment Weekly
Entertainment Weekly: What did you make of the big news yesterday?
Mark Hamill: Oh my gosh, what a shock that was! I had no idea that George was going to sell to Disney until I read it online like everybody else. He did tell us last summer about wanting to go on and do [Episodes] VII, VIII, and IX, and that [newly appointed Lucasfilm president] Kathleen Kennedy would be doing them. He seems to be in a really good place. He’s really happy. And that’s nice because I know that when we were making the movies, he was not a jolly guy on set. [laughs] I always felt badly for him because he agonizes over details, and I’m sure after imagining it in his head for so many years, to see it realized—he’d look up and just hang his head and groan. Harrison [Ford], Carrie [Fisher], and I were always trying to cheer him up and joke him out of his doom and gloom. I missed his call yesterday, but I spoke to him maybe three weeks ago. But until we know more, it’s hard to make any comment other than congratulations to George.
EW: So you met with George this past summer and he told you about his plans to make another trilogy?
Hamill: Yeah, last August, he asked Carrie and I to have lunch with him and we did. I thought he was going to talk about either his retirement or the Star Wars TV series that I’ve heard about—which I don’t think we were going to be involved in anyway, because that takes place between the prequels and the ones we were in and, if Luke were in them, he’d be anywhere from a toddler to a teenager so they’d get an age-appropriate actor—or the 3-D releases. So when he said, “We decided we’re going to do Episodes VII, VIII, and IX,” I was just gobsmacked. “What? Are you nuts?!” [laughs] I can see both sides of it. Because in a way, there was a beginning, a middle, and an end and we all lived happily ever after and that’s the way it should be—and it’s great that people have fond memories, if they do have fond memories. But on the other hand, there’s this ravenous desire on the part of the true believers to have more and more and more material. It’s one of those things: people either just don’t care for it or are passionate about it. I guess that defines what cult movies are all about. We’ll see. I’m anxious to know what’s going on, but the main story [yesterday] was the sale to Disney. I have mixed feelings about that, but they haven’t done badly by Marvel and the Muppets and Pixar. It’s one of those big decisions that at first seems unusual but then the more you look at it, the more it makes sense.
EW: When you had lunch with George, did he get into any details with you about where the story would go in the next three films, or whether you would have a part in them?
Hamill: Well, no, he was just talking about writers and the fact that he wouldn’t be directing. I guess he wanted us to know before everybody else knew. He said, “Now you can’t tell anybody!” [laughs] Even now I’m nervous about saying anything. I just don’t know!
Vandaag nog geen nieuwtjes kunnen ontdekken behalve het feit dat er enorm gespeculeerd wordt of de oude acteurs (Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher en Harrison Ford ) wel of geen deel uit gaan maken van de nieuwe sequel!
Stel dat ze een stukje overslaan in de tijdlijn, dan kunnen ze nog altijd hun eigen rol spelen, maar dat dan het verhaal gaat over hun eigen kinderen bv?
1. Wat is volgens jouw het verhaal?
Volledig nieuw verhaal met hier en daar een knipoog naar het verleden.
Misschien iets met familiebanden naar Solo en Skywalker.
Nieuwe Jedi/Sith?
2. Welke characters moeten er IN en welke characters moeten er zeker NIET in?
IN: C3PO, R2D2, Chewie, Han Solo, Leia en Luke.
NIET IN: iedereen die al dood is en dus niet wonder boven wonder toch weer levend is (Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Palpatine etc.)
3. Welke planeten komen volgens jouw in de Film?
Coruscant, Tatooine,
4. Zal men inhaken op de Expanded Universe?
Nee
5. Wat wil je nog verder over kwijt?
Ik hoop weer op een mooie mix van space en planet
Niet van die vreemde alien karakters
veel verwijzingen naar het verleden (deel 1 t/m 6)
1. Wat is volgens jouw het verhaal?
Geen idee. Ik hoop origineel zonder de expanded universe geweld aan te doen. Hoewel... de vuzong yang verhaallijn, of hoe ze ook mogen heten, mag van mij uit de canon gehaald worden.
2. Welke characters moeten er IN en welke characters moeten er zeker NIET in?
Characters alleen als het de originele acteur is. Geen rip-off, want dat verziekt de boel. R2D2 en C3P0 uiteraard, want daar draait de film om. Chewie, Luke, Han en Leia moeten er ook in, al dan niet met off-spring. In geval expanded universe een rol speelt kan Ms. Mara niet ontbreken. Anakin en Obi kunnen eventueel in spirit vorm. Hoewel Obi spirit toch echt Sir Alec moet zijn, dus dat kan lastig worden.
3. Welke planeten komen volgens jouw in de Film?
Coruscant en Tatooine kunnen bijna niet missen, hoewel de band met Tatooine verdwenen is. Corellia zou wel eens een rol kunnen gaan spelen.
4. Zal men inhaken op de Expanded Universe?
Nee. Op zijn best er niet mee in conflict zijn. Ik denk bijvoorbeeld dat we Mara niet gaan zien.
5. Wat wil je nog verder over kwijt?
Ik speculeer niet echt. Ik heb destijds begin jaren '90 uren verspilt met speculatie op usenet, waarvan niets steekhoudend is gebleken. M.a.w. ik zie wel. Ik wil er ook niet te veel van weten, want in mijn ervaring bevalt de film minder naarmate je meer van tevoren weet (en dus verwachtingen schept).
Deze fans doen het goed! Ze zitten vooraan voor de Premiere van Episode 7! 🙂
'Star Wars' sequel: Harrison Ford open to idea of Han Solo role -- EXCLUSIVE
Harrison Ford is open to the idea of bringing Han Solo back to life on the silver screen in 2015, according to sources close to the just-announced Star Wars sequel, but don’t be surprised if his contract includes a mandatory death scene for the sly old space smuggler.
“Harrison is open to the idea of doing the movie and he’s upbeat about it, all three of them are,” said one highly placed source, referring to Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher, the trio that made a hyper-speed jump to global fame on May 25, 1977, the opening night for George Lucas’s original Star Wars film.
The Hollywood trajectories of Hamill and Fisher led to reinvention — he’s now an in-demand voice actor; she used a gift for acerbic memoir to deliver Postcards from the Edge and Wishful Drinking. But Ford, who reached his 35th birthday in the summer of 1977, launched himself on a truly historic career run that synced up with the blockbuster bonanza of the 1980s. Ford’s star rose with The Fugitive, Air Force One, Clear and Present Danger, Presumed Innocent, Blade Runner, and of course, the four fedora films as a certain archaeologist named Henry “Indiana” Jones.
The actor, now 70, is plenty proud of Indy, Jack Ryan, John Book, and Dr. Richard Kimble but in the past he didn’t disguise his disdain for Solo. “As a character he was not so interesting to me,” the frosty Ford explained in an ABC interview in 2010.
The slippery Corellian pilot’s great talent is keeping himself alive, a skill that apparently extended beyond the screen. Solo’s death scene in early outlines for Episode VI: Return of the Jedi was scrapped, according to Ford and others, because the character was a top seller as an action figure.
EW Daily Poll: Best election movie?
As Ford told ABC in the same interview: “I thought he should have died in the last one to give it some bottom…George didn’t think there was any future in dead Han toys.”
Disney, which acquired Lucasfilm in a $4.05 billion deal, sees plenty of retail future with Star Wars sitting on the same corporate toy shelf as Marvel and Pixar, and they’ll certainly be offering a stellar payday to coax Ford to bring his star power back to role that started it all.
More than money, Ford might be drawn back by the upside of changes at Lucasfilm where the respected Kathleen Kennedy is taking over as company president, and with the Jedi franchise as a whole now that Kennedy is in as executive producer and Lucas will take on a consultant role, leaving the director’s chair for someone else.
Indeed, Ford won’t go to the next level of contract talks until there’s a script and director in place. Either could be a deal breaker. Still, at any stage, an “upbeat” signal from Ford on any Solo matter is enough to shock and excite fans who view Star Wars as something close to religion.
Solo, Luke Skywalker (Hamill), and Princess Leia (Fisher) appeared in two more films and when last we left them (in 1983’s Episode VI: Return of the Jedi) they were on the forest moon of Endor reflecting on the downfall (literally) of the Emperor and Darth Vader’s final act of redemption.
Now a new-look Lucasfilm — with Lucas moving into retirement and the Walt Disney Company taking over — plans to circle back with a new trilogy that picks up the story decades later and presumably uses the original trio to hand off the franchise to a new generation. (It’s a familiar approach; 2009’s Star Trek beamed Leonard Nimoy back aboard or 2010’s Tron: Legacy turned to Jeff Bridges to initiate the next cycle.)
Hamill told EW that he and Fisher heard about the idea when Lucas summoned them for a lunch in August, not long after both were onstage return guest at Star Wars Celebration VI, an official Lucasfilm event that drew tens of thousands of fans to Orlando. Many of those true believers are delirious about the new hope of a third trilogy but Hamill, 61, knows that some outsiders will roll their eyes.
“I can see both sides of it,” Hamill said. “Because in a way, there was a beginning, a middle, and an end and we all lived happily ever after and that’s the way it should be — and it’s great that people have fond memories, if they do have fond memories. But on the other hand, there’s this ravenous desire on the part of the true believers to have more and more and more material.”
In the 29 years since the red carpet premiere of Return of the Jedi, Ford has declined hundreds – if not thousands — of offers to appear at Star Wars events and cast reunions even the ones sanctioned and run by Lucasfilm. In fact, in all those years was only one offer he accepted: He attended a 30th anniversary screening of the The Empire Strikes Back in 2010 to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
About 400 fans (including Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan, Jon Favreau, and Kevin Feige) paid $100-$175 each to hear Ford reflect on his Millennium Falcon days. I was the moderator for the event and the star arrived in a cheery mood but, after watching the film, he was weary of the crowd’s zeal for something he could never love.
“I don’t know that I understood it very well,” Ford said in a flat tone of the franchise’s ascension in popular culture. “I’m not sure I understand it yet…I was very happy to be involved. I was pleased to be a part of an ensemble.”
It was a bare-bones answer but still the crowd cheered and no one asked for a refund – everyone was just excited to see Ford back in the same theater as the Star Wars universe. That alone may be the Force that brings Ford and Solo back together for their date with destiny.
Media speculation also focused on the possible return of series stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams. Carrie Fisher was recorded on video stating that she would like to reprise the role of Princess Leia.[65] It was reported that Ford was open to returning to the character, and all three were 'upbeat' to return.[66] Billy Dee Williams' character, Lando Calrissian has been reported to be in Ardnt's story treatment, and Williams has stated that he would be interested in reprising the role for the film.[67][68]
