George Lucas Reveals He Signed Hamill, Ford, Fisher for Star Wars: Episode VII The rumors started almost as soon as it had been announced that Disney had bought Lucasfilm and would release Star Wars Episode VII in 2015. Even before we knew anything about the new movie, the consensus from Star Wars fandom at large seemed to be that Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher obviously needed to star in it. Now, however, George Lucas has let it slip that he signed all three actors for the next movie, if not more beyond that. In a Bloomberg Businessweek story about Disney’s buyout of Lucasfilm, the Star Wars creator reveals that Lucasfilm “had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison — or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation [when the Disney deal came about]. So I called them to say, ‘Look, this is what’s going on.’” Lucas seemed to immediately realize what he had said and attempted to backtrack from the admission, saying “Maybe I’m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them,” and adding, “I won’t say whether the negotiations were successful or not.” Don’t worry, George. I think that saying that you “had already signed” the actors pretty much says it all. George Lucas Reveals He Signed Hamill, Ford, Fisher for Star Wars: Episode VII | Underwire | Wired.com
Re: Star Wars Episode VII: News & Rumors Oh my god that just made my enthusiasm skyrocket for this. Holy crap.
super interested to see how this goes now...sounds like there will be a nice transition into the new trilogy...
Other than the original three, my favorite Star Wars movie was the one with Darth Maul fight both Obi Wan and the dude played by Liam Neeson. I was disappointed in the fight between Yoda and Christopher Lee's character in whichever movie that was.
Re: Star Wars Episode VII: News & Rumors Antagonist? New powerfull Sith Lord? I was disappointed they killed off Maul so quickly. He could have been a great ominous brute charactor to pair with Palpatine Sent from my HTC Vivid
So is carrie fisher gonna lose 200lbs or will there be a bloated wrinkled metopausing jedi running around ?
Nobody said she was being brought back to play Leia...Ive been hearing that Jabbas daughter is going to be the main antagonist of the next trilogy.
Re: Star Wars Episode VII: News & Rumors I've been reading that this will be the ep that chewy dies..and why am I just NOW finding this????
Re: Star Wars Episode VII: News & Rumors I'd still bang Carrie Fischer, but that's beside the point So I hear they are going a Boba Fett movie. Im guessing this will be two and hours of him not doing anything overly significant Sent from my HTC Vivid
