He's going to be on the DIY Network right after Vanilla Ice with The Darth Maul Project.

Looper has plot holes the Death Star could fit through. Hope he's a lot tighter on this script.

I found it totally weird that none of the sources talking about this are raising that question.
Does this mean JJ is botching the current film? They're annoyed with him? Falling out? Other?
Just seems weird.

Looks like the Harrison Ford injury may have been a little more serious than first reported. Some sites are reporting his leg broke and that they have to reschedule shoots now while he recovers from surgery.

That might just be the best thing I've found on this site, outside the 10k thread.Holy crap. That's useful.

So Gareth Edwards, Rian Johnson... Walter White? If they could even find a minor role for Cranston that five minutes would be awesome.

Cool trailer for episodes 4-6, redone in Guardians of the Galaxy style.

Info on new cast members and issues surrounding Ford's injury
=======================================================================================
The Star Wars: Episode VII cast has just grown again. Plus, we've got an official update from the production on how it's dealing with Harrison Ford's injury.
Yesterday, via a press release on the Star Wars official site, Disney and Lucasfilm announced that two young actors, both of whom responded to the massive open casting call for Episode VII, have been cast in the J.J. Abrams-directed production. Nearly 70,000 hopefuls responded to the open casting call with both in-person and online applications, and these two were among the lucky few who actually earned a place in one of the most anticipated films of 2015.
First, we've got Crystal Clarke, an American studying in Glasgow, U.K., who "has both stage and screen acting experience," and will make her feature film debut in the 2015 feature The Moon and the Sun. Then there's British actor Pip Andersen, who's described as "a skilled practitioner of parkour, a discipline that involves propelling oneself through any given environment with incredible grace and agility," and who recently appeared in a Sony-produced Spider-Man ad. As with every newcomer to the Star Wars cast, both Clarke and Andersen's roles are unspecified, but given Andersen's parkour experience, we wouldn't be surprised to see a lightsaber in his hand.
“The Star Wars universe has always been about discovering and nurturing young talent and in casting Episode VII we wanted to remain absolutely faithful to this tradition," Lucasfilm president and Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy said. "We are delighted that so many travelled to see us at the open casting calls and that we have been able to make Crystal and Pip a part of the film."
The press release also gave an official update on how the production is dealing with the serious injury Ford suffered on set last month. Ever since it became clear that Ford's injury was much more severe than a sprained ankle -- he actually broke his leg and required surgery -- rumors have been swirling about how the production plans to work around his recovery and still make its 2015 release date, including a rumor that some of the story that would have focused on Ford will now be shifted over to Oscar Isaac's character. Well, Lucasfilm isn't talking about rewrites, but they have announced a two-week production hiatus coming up next month to accommodate Ford's recovery.
"In August, the team will take a brief two-week hiatus while adjustments to the current production schedule are made as actor Harrison Ford recovers from a leg injury. Harrison is doing well and is looking forward to returning to the set soon. Shooting remains on track to wrap in the fall with the film scheduled for release on December 18, 2015."
So, while we likely haven't heard the last of those rewrite rumors, we do at least have official word now of the production making adjustments for Ford. Whether that means we'll see less of him in the final film is unclear, but this press release did reinforce something we've been hearing for months: Disney is determined to make that December 2015 release date.

Possible plot leak. Not impressive.

This is very odd. Are Han and Leia not married? The general plot I could see but this specifically just struck me as strange.
Han and Chewie recognise the lightsaber as Luke's, and they say they haven't seen their friend in thirty years, since the events of Return of the Jedi.

Same thing happened to me with Ep II. I read what I thought was a "fake" script treatment months before the movie came out. Forgot all about it. Once I got about 15 minutes into the movie in the theater I realized the story was familiar. Suddenly I remembered the entire scriptment and the movie was spoiled for me. Since then I do my best to avoid real spoilers/leaks.

So will Han Solo be walking around with a limp in these?

I am hoping they work it into the script some how with him complaining that the Falcon is falling apart and will hurt some one

Seemed pretty clear. Han gets a light whip to use as a nod to his character Indiana Jones.

Same here. The night before the release I watched something that said darth maul dies. So pissed. It is hard to balance excitement and not wanting spoiled.

I spoiled myself for the last three and loved every second of it, and will do the same with the next three.

So now officially only Episodes I-VI and the Clone Wars cartoons are canon. The entire expanded universe books are now referred to "stat wars legends" and are thrown out the window. All background on character all relationships etc. I thought all these were approved by Lucas/Lucasfilm so were legit. Now they are garbage?
This deal is getting worse all the time.

That was pretty much understood when Disney bought them and said they were making new ones. I just hoped they would pull the good stuff and incorporate it into the stories.

Maybe one half of one percent of their target audience has read those books. They are not going to be held to those because a bunch of nerds dressed up in Ewok costumes read them in their youth.

Is this a surprise to you? 99% of people don't know anything about Star Wars fan fiction. And from the little bit I've read, it's a good thing. A bunch of rubbish, imo.
