Breaking Star Wars News...

I assure you this blog isn't turning into a solely Star Wars blog, it's just...well in the nerd world, that's really big topic.

So having said , guess who contradicted himself in the news today? Harrison Ford. Han Solo himself said he would love to be coming back, and is very interested in playing his first huge role once again. I say he contradicted himself because not only but barley a year ago this same man said he would never play Han Solo again, by choice. But he would though be interested in once again playing the iconic Deckard in Blade Runner once again, which now may also be a possibility. Anyhow, Ford along with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher also have expressed interest in coming back to this larger then life series.

While the cast is being worked out, so is behind the camera talent. Mathew Vaughn, director of such films like Kick-Ass, and X-Men First Class, is rumored to be the future director of Star Wars Episode 7. He recently dropped out of directing the sequels to both of the films listed above, and many believe Star Wars is the reason why. A writer has yet to be announced or rumored. Stay tuned...

Star Wars Episode 7: A New Dawn?...

In an apparent leaked email from an insider at LucasFilm an apparent title for the new film has been released as well as two different emails about the details of the two new Star Wars trilogies . Look below for the two quoted emails.

"The movies I told you about are indeed the primary focus. Luke Skywalker is a primary focus, as are many of the original trilogy cast," the email read. "I never explained to you that they were being rewritten from previously secret drafts from way back during the making of the original trilogy. You will see a tone more in line with the original trilogy, and specifically featuring that cast, if everything shakes out as intended. Which it will, I promise you."
"Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, C-3PO and R2-D2 are I am assured to feature prominently in the new trilogy, as was always the idea. Apparently some have already been approached. Quite a while back too to my understanding. Hamill is a certainty."
According to Lucas the reason for not producing these two trilogies is that technology wasn't quite there.
