Star Wars: Episode VIII (2017)

I kind of wish they'd move away from the family ties. I understand that its what the entire series is predicated on, but it's a big fucking universe, and the Skywalker family hasn't exactly been too great for said universe

Disregard, now they're saying he said "Curses!" and not "Cousin".

Shmi was a nice lady.

We might not have seen the last of Anakin. Apparently his force ghost is in concept art for Force Awakens.

I don't get people thinking Han will appear in a flashback. I don't recall any flashback sequences existing in Star Wars as it is.

that's the only thing I could think of regarding him being signed on for all 3 movies. I'm guessing we get a flashback that could've already been filmed because Ford's not getting any younger

Oh maybe not - the pics just look like hes older, but I guess they are going for a Anakin/Darth look

I was thinking the same thing. There are no flashbacks in any Star Wars movie. The vision Rey had is the closest to a flashback that we've seen in any of the movies. That's not to say it can be done, but in keeping with the tone it doesn't seem like something they'd do. I haven't back read, but unless there's something more substantial than Kathleen Kennedy quickly saying at a premier that, "everyone will be back for the next one", I don't think I buy it. Unless it's a flashback, Han won't be coming back. Maybe she said that to throw everyone off, but I don't see how he comes back. Especially since he got what he wanted by getting killed off.

She could have also just been reporting her inference from everyone being signed for all three movies.

Qui-Gon Jinn's/Liam Neeson's episode II work: "Anakin. Anakin! NOOOOOO!"
Qui-Gon Jinn's/Liam Neeson's episode III work: .......... appears only in novel


For all we know, Han is still frozen in carbonite and the one in jabba's palace was a clone

SPOILER for VII:





Maybe they just lied about Ford being signed to all 3?

I mean what if they said 'yea Hamill and Fisher are on for 3 but Ford is in just the 1"....that would be dumb of them to say

[Beefsteak1138]

In the theater for my second viewing. Sofaking excited.

This is my thinking as well. Sign them to all three and it doesn't spoil who lives or dies.

My thought was that what Rey had was a "force vision", and not so much a flashback.

James Earl Jones rumored for Rogue One:

Hulk smash!

Also, I'm stealing this from a Reddit comment, but if Luke has a big role in this movie, Episode VIII should be called An Old Hope. *rimshot*

The release date has apparently been pushed back to December 15, 2017 to accommodate the next Pirate's of the Carribean movie () and make those holiday dollar$$.

So now it'll be Star Wars vs Avatar in the box office. Interesting that they're accommodating Pirates and not Avatar.

They probably can't decide which original 3 film to copy note for note next so they're delayed a bit

I don't buy Pirates being the reason.

I bet with VII and Rogue One being December releases they decided to just sync it up so December is always Star Wars month.

Well hopefully it's V so we can find out who is Rey's father.

Star Wars + Christmas = maximum toys sold

I've started collecting some of the Black Series figures and all I gotta say is if Star Wars wants to make max profit on toys during the holidays they need to dump Hasbro. Their distribution has been retched. It's a month out from Christmas and it's still nothing but empty pegs everywhere.
