RUMOR: Plot Details & Directors On The Shortlist For The New STAR WARS Trilogy
A blog that reported three years ago that George Lucas was planning on making Star Wars: Episodes VII, VIII, and IX
has new information about the sequels and a list of directors that
Disney are supposedly interested in. Hit the jump to check it out.
The films are reworked versions of what Lucas was planning as far back as when he was making the original trilogy.
This next trilogy may conflate plot points originally intended
to span two trilogies – the second featuring the Skywalker offspring.
As such, Luke Skywalker is a key character.
And so are many of “the original trilogy cast” with Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, C3PO and R2D2 set to appear.
Hamill is already locked-in.
The Empire was not completely destroyed at the end of Return of the Jedi.
Disney intend “on playing to the cultural significance of that original trilogy.”
The scripts that have already been written for the live-action TV show “will be absorbed in some way into a TV format.”
Disney are “all over” restoring the original trilogy.
This mysterious source also lists the names of some directors that
were being “bandied about” – Steven Spielberg, Neill Blomkamp, Alfonso
Cuaron, Matthew Vaughn, Darren Aronofsky and Joss Whedon.
