Yes, although I believe Abrams won't be directing either of them.

Then there are spinoffs planned for each year that we don't see a main story movie. I believe those will be origins stories, Han Solo and Boba Fett are the two names I have seen so far.

How does this work? Is the force some finite resource that gets diluted if a lot of people tap into it?

If the Force worked like Highlander and each guy who cut off the previous guy's head gets his quickening power (and the cumulative power of every head that guy cut off too) so that it just concentrates and concentrates, that would make more sense. You never see that though.

That dialog is actually from the end of Return of the Jedi, when Luke tells Leia that Vader is his father, and she's his sister.

Ah. And I call myself a Star Wars fan. Albeit, more of casual fan than others.

I wonder if, in the trailer when he says "you have that power too" he is talking to one of Leia's kids. It would make sense in the continuity of the speech. So maybe he will train one or both of Leia's children.

This was from another site.



But if we give Lucas some credit for foreshadowing. Luke's robes here are pretty similar to Darth Sidious'.

Luke being a dark side Force user or new Sith would be dumb.

Luke may be a more flawed character than we're used to, but I really don't think he will be the big bad.

I think labeling Luke as either dark or light is the wrong idea. I think he'll be in some gray area trying to find the true balance of the force. Maybe that's why we haven't seen him in the trailers or posters, all of which have contrasted showing the light vs. dark

To me, Luke is like Rick Grimes. Even if he's doing stuff wrong, it's right in my book.

I get fiercely loyal to fictional characters haha. Luke and Rick being right up there. You can throw in Aragorn, Gandalf and Bilbo for good measure

I think Harrison is usually reluctant to appear on talk shows, and can seem very grouchy. He was a bit odd on Kimmel last night:

I think Harrison Ford is hilarious in these settings, hopefully this interview puts to rest the arguments made by people that Ford has some problems with Lucas.

He had a lot of problems with dialogue especially in ANH.

So Harrison always knew what a Parsec was after all!

Or that has nothing to do with foreshadowing a movie 30 years later, and everything to do with Luke's struggle between light/dark within that actual movie and keeping the viewer unsure of whether he would turn.
