  Couldn't help but recall the Colbert segment a few months back in which he speculates the latest film will be called Star Wars: A New Hip.

  Another young diector getting the keys to a Star Wars film then. Josh Trank's is due 2018 I take it.
  
  It's odd when you realise the first standalone film will have been filmed before we even see Episode VII.
  
  Oh and bad news about Harrison, hopefully they can work around it while he recovers.

  It was a door on the Millenium Falcon that did it. What a piece of JUNK!

  A very good choice.

  Rian Johnson is in fact directing Episode VIII and Episode IX.

  Now we only need to find out who is directing the third standalone film, due in 2020.

  Last I read, he was simply penning the storyline to IX.

  Click on the above link. Deadline had the exclusive.
  
  "I’m told that Lucasfilm is making a deal with Looper writer-director Rian Johnson to write and direct Star Wars Episodes VIII and IX."

  Kinda disappointing. I was hoping for either a new director each film, or one director for the whole trilogy.

  Who knows what will happen though, these films are still a long way off.

  Not Episode VII related but I think this thread is for all Star Wars stuff right?
  
  I picked up these awesome comics called 'Star Wars Infinities'- has anyone read them?
  Basically they take one significant event from each of the movies and changed it, which in turn screws everything else up.
  
  
  
  For A New Hope, Luke's crucial shot misses the Death Star, in Empire Strikes Back Luke dies in the snow on Hoth and in Return of the Jedi the gang fails to save Han from Jabba the Hutt. It's really wild what crazy directions the stories go. They end up with completely different endings
  
  I wish they'd make some prequel ones

  I liked a few things from the Infinites comics, but I felt that they were overall forgettable. There were beats that just weren't done well (I don't give a sh*t how propaganda the Empire is, "Justice Star"?!), but they weren't completely horrible, like some of the Clone Wars comics, or Dark Empire II.

  Rian Johnson is a great choice. Better than Abrams imo.

  It's a slow news day, but I came across this picture of Ford shortly before his accident, and he has his classic Han Solo hair style!
  
  
  
  And BTW that cool jacket sort of looks like a tan version of the one he wore in Empire Strikes Back, doesn't it?

  The "on set injury" had to have been a cover-up, it's truly a story-related injury!

  I wouldn't call that a 'cool jacket'. It's definitely a grandpa jacket.

  :)) And what about those cool Han Solo jeans and glasses and cheap hair cut?

  I second that- the dude can still pass for 50. And probably kick my ass
