Harrison Ford to have major role in “Star Wars Episode VII???

Leave a comment

As Sunday May the 4th approaches, even more rumors hit the internet about the involvement of Star Wars veterans… Harrison, Mark, and Carrie. They are hyping that Harrison Ford as Han Solo will have a major role in “Star Wars Episode VII” but nobody’s saying anything yet. It’s looking like that Han Solo will be throughout the next movie while Luke and Princess Leia will have smaller roles? It’s no surprise that Han Solo will probably have the most screen time in “Episode VII” ’cause it’ll probably help hype the Han Solo spinoff film that Disney/Lucasfilm is planning. Look like we will see plenty of Han Solo in the next movie. Han Solo is probably not just gonna be a mentor to new Jedi’s. He’s probably gonna help fight off the Empire.

Even if Harrison is aging, he’s 71 right now… I’m sure we’ll see him in plenty of action scenes. I’m sure Han will still have his blaster laser gun he has always used and we’ll see him running around with that. I’m sure we’ll see him back in the Millenium Falcon.

The question I’m wondering is, will Han Solo still don the black vest and white shirt? Probably. We’ll get the same Han Solo we always had.

Can’t wait to see the original trio back on the big screen. I’m sure we’ll still get Princess Leia and Han arguing together for comic material. It’ll feel like the original Star Wars all over again.

Harrison Ford does surprising Reddit AMA chat but of course keeps quiet on “Star Wars: Episode VII”…

Leave a comment

Harrison Ford recently did a surprising Reddit AMA chat to promote his new Showtime show, “Years of Living Dangerously” and of course, his fans asked him a lot of questions about his past movie career mostly. Keep in mind that this chat will be VERY addicting as it is entertaining as hell. He must have been on Reddit for quite a while ’cause he answered a lot of questions. Of course, there is not one discussion of “Star Wars: Episode VII” which is understandable ’cause if he confirmed that he’s gonna be in it… this would have been big news. I’m sure Harrison is in “Star Wars 7″… Disney/Lucasfilm is probably ordering him to keep it quiet for now.

While he didn’t talk about Star Wars Episode 7, he did talk a little bit about the “Blade Runner” sequel.

Enjoy the chat here:

I am Harrison Harrison Ford. AMA.

Edit to add: I tried to copy and paste my favorite responses but for some reason reddit didn’t allow it.  Oh well.

Is Harrison Ford too old for Star Wars??? I’d say no…

Leave a comment

Whenever Harrison Ford gets confirmed to reprise his role as Han Solo for “Star Wars 7”, I have a feeling a lot of people are gonna criticize his age for this. They always criticize Harrison’s age. People did it when he agreed to return to Indiana Jones, “The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” movie. I don’t think age is a problem when it comes to Star Wars. I think Harrison can handle action scenes just fine ’cause remember Harrison was in “The Expendables 3” film and I’m pretty sure he’ll do some action scenes in that film. Harrison is still doing his own stunts in other action films. On top of that, there have been other Star Wars actors who were aging at the time doing their own stunts: Sir Alec Guinness, Christopher Lee, etc. They were doing some pretty physical stuff too!

I know the new Star Wars films are going to focus on young characters as the main stars but Han Solo is probably gonna end up helping the young Jedi’s out in some way. Will we see the return of the Millennium Falcon? I’m hoping for that too.

Harrison maybe getting older but I’m pretty sure he’ll still kill it as the Han Solo role. I’m sure we’ll still get the same wisecracking humorous smuggler like he was in the original trilogy — the only difference is that he’ll be a little older. Other questions: Will Han be married to Leia by this time? Will they have kids together? From the looks of things… it’s looking like the new film may focus on a family.

Even though Harrison, Carrie and Mark haven’t played these characters in many years… I’m sure all three will kill it. They’ll do a great job, I’m sure. When will we ever get a confirmation on whether or not they’ll be in? I think they just did confirm it by saying “familiar faces”, they just didn’t name names yet. They will soon, though.

JJ Abrams says the “Star Wars: Episode 7” script is done but I’m getting kind of skeptical…

4 Comments

JJ Abrams says the script for “Star Wars: Episode 7” is done finally and they’re gonna go full steam ahead which I think he’s saying they’re gonna start filming soon. He’s also not gonna film the new Star Wars in IMAX as he claims that they are loud cameras and they are not right to do intimate scenes with which is kind of funny ’cause JJ used to be obsessed with IMAX but he doesn’t like IMAX anymore?

Anyway, I’m getting pretty skeptical of “Star Wars 7” after seeing “Star Trek Into Darkness”. Now that JJ has jumped aboard to write the script himself after the previous writer left, I don’t know how good the script is gonna be. The script to “Star Trek Into Darkness” was an absolute disaster so hopefully “Star Wars 7” won’t be the same. Since Lawrence Kasdan helped JJ with the script… maybe that’ll help make the script for “Star Wars 7” better but I don’t know. JJ maybe an okay film maker but his writing has problems. Hopefully, him and Kasdan will do Star Wars justice.

Yes, “Episode 7” will be full of CGI and lens flare indeed but I hope it’s a good story. Even though the script is done you can see that JJ is still being secretive on the plot. Is this movie a return for all the original Star Wars gang? Like everyone else, I’m expecting that too after JJ confirmed R2 the droid will be in it. Han, Leia, Luke, Lando, Chewbacca, etc. They’ll all come back.

Hopefully they leave the Ewoks out of it, though. I have a feeling “Episode VII” will leave right off from “Return of the Jedi”. Could “Episode VII” start off on Endor where “Jedi” left off?

I’m more interested on who the new villain is gonna be. Shouldn’t be Vader. Should be somebody new. A return of Master Palpatine is still possible, though. He could have survived that fall after Vader threw him off at the end of “Jedi”. I’m hoping “Episode 7” is gonna be good.

Darth Vader posts a selfie on the Star Wars instagram account…

Leave a comment

I’m probably one of the very few who is not even on instagram but I’ll probably make my way there at some point. For laughs, the Star Wars instagram posted a pic of Darth Vader taking a photo of himself with an Iphone…

Check it out, here.

Could this be a hint that Darth maybe returning to Star Wars after all? I can see “Episode 7” continuing the story of Anakin Skywalker ’cause that’s what these movies are about to begin with… they were never about Luke, really. Will James Earl Jones still be involved with Star Wars?

Happy Star Wars day…

While I am more of a “Star Trek” fan than “Stars Wars”, I can appreciate “Star Wars”. Sure, why not? I do like the original trilogy and the prequels. I think the prequels are actually pretty good but the writing on the prequels had some problems, plus I hated the Jar Jar Binks character which he wasn’t needed. I believe the only reason Lucas created Jar Jar ’cause he needed an entertaining character for the children.

I really hope the upcoming new trilogy: 7, 8, and 9 will be much improvements. Without Lucas having anything to do with Star Wars this time around, this could be the perfect opportunity to make the Star Wars better films. Yes, Luke Skywalker, Solo, Leia, Lando, Chewbacca and the rest of the original gang will probably reunite for the new series which is gonna be cool.

I’ve always believe that my favorite Star Wars movies have always been “Empire Strikes Back” and “Revenge of the Sith”; they were the best ones, in my opinion. The rest of ’em were just okay. I think the new trilogy will have the potential to top them all if the writing and directing can be good enough. I think J.J. has what it takes to make them good movies ’cause he knows Star Wars better than anybody since he’s a fan. JJ would know exactly what fans would want out of Star Wars and he would do the films justice, I hope.

I was expecting Lucasfilm to make some huge announcement for “Star Wars 7” on May 4th but so far, they’ve been silent. Star Wars 7 is still in the early stages so we still have got a long ways to go for them to start announcing the plot-line, the cast, etc. I am a fan of “Star Wars”, but I’m not that obsessed. Star Wars is cool, though, don’t get me wrong. I’ve always been a fan ever since I was a child. Even saw “Return of the Jedi” in theater when it first came out. I saw all three prequels in theater too.

I just find Star Wars a tad bit overrated. No offense. I am looking forward to seeing what JJ plans to do with the new films, though, it’s intriguing to me.

Report: Carrie Fisher says she’s game for Star Wars return, but no confirmation from Lucasfilm yet…

Leave a comment

Carrie Fisher, had an interview with Palm Beach Illustrated, and of course, they couldn’t resist asking if she would reprise her role as Princess Leia for, “Star Wars 7”. She replied back with a simple, “Yes”. That was it. So Entertainment Weekly, contacted Lucasfilm themselves, and the folks at Lucasfilm said that they haven’t even started casting yet. I expect the casting to start pretty soon, though.

I don’t know how they are going to pull off Princess Leia in the new, Star Wars. Carrie Fisher used to be beautiful and gorgeous in her younger years, but now look at her. Carrie looks way different today. I’m sure she still has what it takes to play Princess Leia just fine, but she may look a little bit different. Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me that Lucasfilm will try to make Carrie look younger and beautiful with the power of make up effects, and computerized air brushing. They can easily make her the beautiful Princess still, but she will be a little older.

Will Leia be married to Han Solo and they have a few kids together? Luke will mentor those kids and train them to be Jedi’s? I’m sure that’s the plot they’re going for, but I hope they’ll have  more of a story than that, honestly, I think mentors training the younger generations in fictional movies is getting old. They already have the same idea with, Ghostbusters 3.

See the story at, Entertainment Weekly.

About Obama’s controversial Jedi Mind-Meld comment…

JediaMindMeld

I haven’t been following the President’s “Sequester” and budget cut stuff, ’cause all that is a load of crock, and I’m tired of Obama and his bullshit. He continues to prove himself that he is not qualified for the President’s job. During the press conference, not only that he pissed off the Republicans, he also pissed off the Star Wars and Star Trek community by saying this: ““Even though most people agree… I’m presenting a fair deal, the fact that they don’t take it means that I should somehow do a Jedi mind-meld with these folks and convince them to do what’s right,” Read more about it, here.

I know he didn’t mean it, and it was a mistake, since he wasn’t reading off a teleprompter but that just shows that he is crap at speaking. He maybe good at reading, but take the teleprompter away from him, he is horrible and you can’t understand a word he’s saying.

I think what he really meant was that he was referring to, “Vulcan Mind Meld“, somehow he thought it was a Star Wars thing. To those who aren’t into Star Trek that much, if you don’t know what a mind meld is, it’s a power that is used for Vulcan’s only. You know how when Spock goes up to somebody and puts his hand on someone’s face? That’s a mind meld. It’s a power to exchange people’s thoughts. I understand Obama’s point bringing Mind Meld into this, but bringing Jedi into it by mistake will just get him in trouble.

Plus, what he said about Republicans is even more offensive. He wants the Republicans to side with him and we shouldn’t have to. It should be our right.

Obama’s a piece of shit.

Where was Harrison Ford while the internet blew up with rumors that he may return to Star Wars???

Leave a comment

harrison-ford-family-vacation-after-star-wars-7-news-02

Yep, there is Harrison with his wife Calista, and their son, vacationing in Rio De Janeiro in, Brazil. Maybe that’s why Harrison himself couldn’t comment on whether or not he’s reprising his role as Han Solo in Star Wars 7? I’m sure Harrison will say something about it soon, though, when the press will start bugging him about it. I think Harrison will start talking about the Star Wars return in interviews when he starts promoting his next movie, “Ender’s Game”.

Despite his age though, Harrison is STILL gonna look great as Han Solo, and I’m sure he still has what it takes to play the role again just fine. We will still get the same Han Solo, we always had. When he returns to Star Wars, he won’t disappoint us, I’m sure, and he’ll make it so that his age is unimportant. We’re still gonna get that likeable wisecracking smuggler!!!

He’ll do fine in his Han Solo, return! 😉

Harrison Ford, rumored to return as Han Solo for Episode VII…

Leave a comment

Rumors hit hard on the internet today, that Harrison Ford has signed on to reprise his role as Han Solo for Episode 7. It wouldn’t surprise me if it turned out to be true, because every time Lucasfilm/Disney wants to announce news, the internet leaks it earlier, and then Lucasfilm/Disney will confirm the news themselves. That’s exactly what happened when it was announced that Disney bought Lucasfilm and JJ Abrams was going direct it. Can the internet give them a break and let them give the news first for once? LOL! Technology, gotta love it!

If it’s true that Harrison officially signed on, that’s good. I’m all for him coming back ’cause it isn’t Star Wars without Han Solo.

Yes, he is too old but in Star Wars age doesn’t make a difference. Sir Alec Guinness was about that age when he played Obi Wan in the first movie, nobody complained about his age back then. The same with Liam Neeson as Qui Con Jinn and Christopher Lee as Count Dooku.

It may seem silly to have Harrison coming back, but we need him if they are going to continue after Jedi. He maybe old yes, but I’m sure the writers have found something for Han Solo, so his story won’t sound creepy and weird. Maybe the new Han Solo for Episode 7 can have a similar character like what Obi Wan did in “A New Hope”. Han Solo can simply be a mentor for somebody. Maybe Han and Leia has a family together now. They have children now and Luke can train them to be Jedi’s.

I’m sure Harrison is still capable of doing action scenes just fine. Give him a break.
