I'm betting he was confusing Hoth with Bespin.

Outlanders.

That would be my assumption, yes. I'm in the middle of a huge project right now and haven't had time to check in with the folks I know at Disney or LucasFilm. But based on the past, the writers were given specifics of what they could or could not do or write for the novels.

As I mentioned earlier, they're less than six months from principle photography, which means that the Americans involved in the film (Abrams, Arndt, Kennedy, etc.) will be making plans to move to England soon. With that in mind, the script must be close to being finalized and the general outline is definitely set in stone.

Oh then if that's the case, the writer probably doesn't know too much about Episode VII, other than what to avoid.

:cuss: Hoth is much much cooler!(and it has native wild life to help your cause!) Besides how do you occupy a gas giant????:harumph:

The rumor I passed on weeks ago is now getting louder:

Speaking of losing jobs... why is it that I keep hearing tons of rumors that JJ Abrams is on the verge of dropping out of Star Wars? This has been something I've heard for a while now, and from multiple insiders. I know that he didn't want to shoot the movie in England and was overruled, but that happened a while ago. This weekend at Comic Con I continued to hear these whispers. No director for Trek 3 has been found yet - might Abrams end up coming back after all, leaving Star Wars to someone else? I'm expecting Star Wars news out of the German Star Wars Celebration at the end of the month - if there is some sort of announcement of a title or casting and Abrams isn't there, start wondering.

Best news ever.

Good....then bring in Ridley Scott. :hmmm:

It'll be someone from the Disney family - Andrew Stanton, Brad Bird, maybe even a Matthew Vaughn, etc. and so on.

Ridley Scott doesn't make kid's movies. And Prometheus was unwatchable.

And it proves my source was right, which is even better news moving forward for those on my "Secret" list.

*shrug*

I'm going to watch the trailers and literally ignore everything else.

GFY

LMAO

Brad Bird would be a sexy selection.

He was their first choice but he had to pass due to his work on "Tomorrow Land".

Matthew Vaughn > *

Though it would tickle me pink, I doubt Disney makes that selection. Hitting the younger demographics is likely a huge priority for the studio.
