Harrison Ford is open to the idea of bringing Han Solo back to life on the silver screen in 2015, according to sources close to the just-announced Star Wars sequel, but don’t be surprised if his contract includes a mandatory death scene for the sly old space smuggler.
“Harrison is open to the idea of doing the movie and he’s upbeat about it, all three of them are,” said one highly placed source, referring to Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher, the trio that made a hyper-speed jump to global fame on May 25, 1977, the opening night for George Lucas’s original Star Wars film.
As pre-production of Star Wars: Episode VII begins, Lucasfilm has confirmed that award-winning writer Michael Arndt will write the screenplay for the new Star Wars film. As revealed in the ongoing video series posted here on StarWars.com, Kathleen Kennedy and George Lucas have begun story conferences with Arndt. Arndt won an Academy Award® for Best Original Screenplay for writing Little Miss Sunshine (2006), and was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for writing Toy Story 3 (2010).
...industry insiders say the evil Vader will grace the big screen again.
“He’s an integral part of the franchise. Replacing him is virtually impossible,” explains a film mole.
“The plan is for him to return and play a significant role in the new films.”
[...]
“This is science fiction remember,” we’re told. “Darth Vader will rise from the ashes.”
Ok langsam wirds weird:

"a mole"
Da wird sicher noch übles kommen an Gerüchten bis dahin
...and the Star Wars news keep on coming. Two weeks ago, we reported that Michael Ardnt (Toy Story) was hired by Disney to write Star Wars: Episode 7. While everyone is speculating on who will direct the next film in the franchise, Disney has already decided who will write Episodes 8 and 9.
THR confirms that screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi) and Simon Kinberg will write either episode VIII or Episode IX. They will also produce the films. Their exact division of responsibilites is not yet known.
This is great news for fans because one of the writers of the original franchise is coming back. Creatively, this is a great decision by Disney.
Stay tuned for more details soon

Zack Snyder will not be directing Star Wars: Episode VII, but that's not going to keep him from playing in the Star Wars universe.
As many have suspected in the wake of Disney acquiring Lucasfilm, we're going to start seeing a whole lot more stories set in a galaxy far far away, and now Vulture reports that the Man of Steel director will be the first to give a parallel story a shot. They say he's making a film loosely based on Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai-- which of course, was also the inspiration for the classic Western The Magnificent Seven. Snyder's film would reportedly take place sometime after the events of Episode VI, which means we're leaping into the future, and probably a time that has nothing to do with Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader or all the rest. The film wouldn't have a number like all the other entires, but it's possible it might be intended to kick off a brand new Star Wars series all its own.
The Star Wars cinematic galaxy is about to experience a Big Bang. Lucasfilm is officially announcing new spinoff films that will expand the mythos and depths of the Star Wars universe in previously unexplored ways.
One of the standalone films will be written by Lawrence Kasdan, screenwriter of The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and co-writer of Return of the Jedi while the other will be penned by Simon Kinberg, writer of Sherlock Holmes and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The movies will be separate from the upcoming Episodes VII, VIII, and IX, on which Kasdan and Kinberg are also consulting, and are expected to be released sometime after Episode VII. Each standalone film will focus on a specific character, and two spinoff films are currently confirmed.
In a call to investors, Bob Iger, chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, revealed while the original focus was on the highly-anticipated sequel trilogy, the idea of spinoff films was bandied about early and the additional films are now becoming a reality. "We are in development of a few standalone films," he said, "that are not part of the Star Wars saga...there are now creative entities working on developing scripts for what would be those standalone films."
The first Stand Alone film is going to center upon YODA. At this stage specifics are sparse, but Kathleen Kennedy is putting together a STAR WARS slate... I'm wildly curious for more details on the YODA film - would this be a young or old YODA tale?
The franchise's creator says he began discussions for the original stars' return; plus, Disney's Bob Iger reveals the harsh emails he got from Steve Jobs.
Die Webseite “Kotaku” behauptet, dass es bei der Entwicklung von “Star Wars 1313” einige “turbulente Wendungen“ gegeben hat, seitdem LucasFilm vergangenes Jahr für 4 Milliarden Dollar von Disney gekauft wurde. In dem Bericht heißt es, dass das Mutterunternehmen von LucasArts seinen Produktionsweg geändert hat und die Produktion von Filmen der von Spielen vorzieht.
