George Lucas Says Fisher, Hamill and Ford are Returning for Star Wars: Episode VIISubmit Comment
Carrie Fisher recently confirmed that she'll return for "Star Wars: Episode VII." Her representatives immediately released a statement saying that the actress was joking. But in a new interview, George Lucas accidentally revealed that Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford are all coming back for the new film.

"We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation," said Lucas. "Maybe I'm not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that, but we were negotiating with them."

According to a recent rumor, the story will focus on the children of Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. The children will be about twenty years old. Meanwhile, R2D2 and C-3PO will be unchanged.

Luke's been putting in his sister? Or in Han?

Superman Returns focused on the child and that movie was ruined

So Duke Skywalker, Dan Solo, and Leia something.

I hope their screen time will be limited.

This really does have the possibility of being worse than every Jar Jar scene.

I just hope Fisher and Ford remember their dentures, and Hamill gets on a diet.

@Crazy: Wouldn't say SR focused on the kid, but he sure was a ridiculous MacGuffin. Only the Crystal Skull is worse. Should have focused on Superman being the bad ass only Superman can be, but instead we got him looking stupid whilst aping Reeve. And the entire Lex Luthor Atlantean-Kryptonite plot device didn't help.

As for the news, everyone saying this will suck should think again. Disney has the CGI wherewithal to knock this out of the part, so visuals, check. JJ Abrams is on board to direct and he's not exactly a McG/Ratner slouch. Direction? Check. Michael Arndt is writing the script, and he did fine with Toy Story 3 and Little Miss Sunshine, plus Oblivion looks pretty f*cking solid. So screenplay? Check. You have the old crew coming back, so old school appeal? Check.

All that's left to put to rest any serious concerns is who they'll cast for the younger crew, the cast who will carry the water for the next trilogy. Big part, sure, but it's a good bet they'll cast them a little better that Lucas did with the second three films, and that's all anyone should need.

Yeah casting Hayden Christensen as Mannequin Skywalker railroaded AOTC and ROTS because he is such a bad actor and ROTS was barely saved by the ramping up of Darth Sidious and everything else to tie into ANH.

When I first heard about the prequel trilogy I said for the longest time that Ethan Hawke, Guy Pearce, or Jason Patric should play Anakin and this was because of all of them having a resemblance to Mark Hamill in ANH and that they are all good actors.

Hayden looks nothing like Hamill.

Obama: No 'grand peace plan' during Israel trip

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama is playing down expectations for a Mideast peace breakthrough during his upcoming trip to Israel, telling American Jewish leaders that he won't be carrying a "grand peace plan" when he arrives in the region later this month.

Obama, in an hourlong private meeting at the White House on Thursday, acknowledged that near-term prospects for peace are bleak, according to a person who attended the discussion. But the president said a deal with the Palestinians remains the only way for Israel to achieve long-term security.

Israel's political climate makes the prospects for jumpstarting peace talks all the more unlikely during Obama's trip. Elections in January weakened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who since then has struggled to form a coalition government.

In his meeting Thursday, Obama said pursuing sweeping peace talks now would be premature, given that Israel is still working to form a new government. But he added that doesn't preclude him from launching a peace effort in six months or a year, according to the person in attendance, who was not authorized to discuss the gathering publicly and requested anonymity.

Netanyahu recently asked Israeli President Shimon Peres for a two-week extension to build the coalition, putting his new deadline just ahead of Obama's expected arrival in Israel.

The White House has not announced the dates for the president's trip, although Israeli news media have reported he will arrive on March 20. Obama will also make stops in the West Bank town of Ramallah, and Jordan.

The president sought to restart peace talks in 2011, but the effort collapsed within weeks. Palestinians refuse to resume negotiations unless Israel stops building settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Netanyahu says talks should resume without any preconditions, and he has allowed stepped-up construction in the territories since the United Nations moved to recognize a de facto state of Palestine in November.

The White House did not put the meeting with Jewish leaders on the president's public schedule. A White House official later said Obama sought input from the leaders on his trip and underscored that it would be an opportunity for him to speak directly to the Israeli people.

Marc Stanley, chairman of the National Jewish Democratic Council, was among those who attended Thursday's meeting. He said Obama reiterated his "unshakeable support for Israel and explained that his upcoming trip will be focused on discussing with his Israeli counterparts the critical issues facing the Jewish state, including Iran, the peace process and Syria."

In addition to his meetings with Netanyahu, Obama will hold talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. He told the Jewish leaders Thursday that he would emphasize to Abbas that peace remains possible, though very difficult given the current climate in the region.

While in Israel, Obama is also expected to note that Israelis live in an increasingly dangerous region, given the instability in Syria and the potential nuclear threat from Iran. He'll likely reiterate that all options, including military force, remain on the table for the U.S. when it comes to dealing with Iran, while also touting the impact of strict economic sanctions.
