I don't think that the writers are going to feel the need to stay close to any plotlines developed in books any more than Star Trek writers do.

Hence, the "ancient" reference.
Agree. This is NOT good if true. SS' take on EPI III was pure shit.

Vader wouldn't be able to stand in true Sith Lords' presences of old. He'd get swatted away like a fly. Bring a new villain that obviously rivals that poser.

And now, we're off! This is GREAT news, IMO. Darth Vader can live on the big screen once again without the need for Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher or Mark Hamill. Also, I'm hearing that Matthew Vaughn is almost locked for the next movie. We'll see...
------------------ http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...ar-wars-394910 Star Wars: How Writers Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg Will Expand the Galaxy Sources tell THR that each will write separate projects, not necessarily "Episode 8" and "Episode 9" -- a plan similar to Marvel's movies around "The Avengers." The post-George Lucas Star Wars universe slowly is taking shape. Soon after it was announced Oct. 30 that Disney would acquire Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion, it was revealed that Oscar winner Michael Arndt (Little Miss Sunshine) had written a 40- to 50-page treatment for the new trilogy and would be writing the script for Star Wars: Episode VII. Then reports emerged the week of Nov. 19 that The Empire Strikes Back’s Lawrence Kasdan (CAA, Greenberg Glusker) and Sherlock Holmes’ Simon Kinberg (CAA, Jackoway Tyerman) would be writing and producing Episode VIII and Episode IX, even as Disney and Lucasfilm refused to confirm their top-secret plans. But now insiders tell THR that while Kasdan and Kinberg indeed have been hired to work on the Star Wars franchise, they will be writing separate projects (hence the reason why they also would receive producer credits), not necessarily Episode VIII and Episode IX. Their scripts could turn into official “Episodes” in the main Skywalker storyline, or they could form the basis for spinoffs focusing on side characters. Disney CEO Robert Iger said the goal is to release a Star Wars movie “every two to three years,” and some could focus on other pieces of the expansive mythos (similar to Marvel’s Avengers universe). Disney and Lucasfilm declined comment. |

As long as they don't sacrifice quality for quantity, this is fantastic news.

Whether he uses storylines from the EU (Black Sun, in particular) or creates a whole new story arc involving hunting down any and all of the remaining Jedi, there could be an incredibly cool new trilogy set in that time period. I trust Disney not to **** this up. |

They should just shoot Shadows of the Empire. Set between ESB and ROTJ. Great ****ing story.

Yeah but then you have to replace actors and a lot of die hards won't like that and will compare them into oblivion.

How about the sub plots between 3 and 4?
I have a feeling Disney is gonna knock it out of the park and we will be wondering why the move didn't happen much sooner. |

Yeah movies set between 3 and 4 would be awesome, too.
Show the Empire building. You can even cast Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor again. More Vader, with lots of James Earl Jones. **** it, throw in a cameo for Ewan McCregor with some scenes of him whackin' it on Tatooine.
