| Great stuff! |
If this news is indeed true then it's great stuff. It'll be pretty cool to see Ford back in the role of Solo. It'll be great if Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher can come back too but as Ford is by far the better actor then I'm happy enough that it sounds as though he has made the deal. More

...but I don't really want to watch a new SW film and find out he's turned into a miserable old sod, like Mr Ford himself, or a pathetic old codger trying to capture his former glories on the big screen, like our beloved Indy. Move the story on. Let the legends rest in the peace of our treasured memories...and DO NOT let George near the script! More

Oh and the last time they took SW out of GL's hands, we got the Star Wars Holiday Special.
And The Empire Strikes Back....
And say what you will about Indy 4 (its nowhere near as bad as some make it out to be), but Harrison Ford was far and away the best thing about it More

Butt-hurt? Really? Not sure what's worse, the casual homophobia or the lack of grammar skills. RLM know exactly what they're talking about. Luckily any new SW is out of George's hands.
As for the news, Harrison was not the problem with Indy 4, he did well enough with the material. Which was terrible. (And until they start calling this Damon Wise Magazine, they can't shirk responsibility for that review debacle or any others)

I watched Red Letter Media's review of Crystal Skull a few days ago, and I'm starting to get worried for this new SW trilogy.
t listen to anything RedLetterMedia says. they are a bunch of butthurt hateboys.

This could work if it's Solo on his deathbed reminiscing about his younger years....
But frankly Disney can just write Ford a blank cheque and watch all the SW fans spaff themselves to death. More

| I Have A Bad Feeling About This, He He |
My initial reaction was excitement that Harrison Ford is coming back to Star Wars but then the bad taste of Crystal Skull and the prequels came back into my mouth and my enthusiasm dipped. It's a long, long time since Harrison Ford made a great movie. There are good things about Star Wars VII though, Lucas isn't directly involved this time and J.J. Abrams did a good job reviving the MIssion Impossible franchise with 3 and 4. So there's hope yet...a new hope even. More

The problems with KOTCS weren't Harrison Ford's fault. He made it entertaining as opposed to just crap in my opinion. I'd be interested to see an older Han. More

Lucas jerked around for years before coming out and saying there was no 7, 8 and 9. But in Alan Arnold's book The Making Of Empire Strikes Back he discussed with Arnold (who was the unit publicist) that he wrote a story, it got too large so he split it into two, then when each half got too big he split it into three each. Then he added a third trilogy. Then he spent years denying it.
The fan base has always expected a story about Luke creating a new Jedi order with the kids of Han and Leia More

Any future Star Wars film will get a gushing review from empire.
5* for phantom menace, 4* for kingdom of the shitty skulls.
Part of me likes empire for their enthusiasm, however anything Star Wars or Jones related seems to get viewed upon with rose tinted spectacles.

The Star Wars universe lost a lot of original fans when the released the prequel's; oh ok it was Jar Jar Binks's fault. So maybe having the original stars back might make amends! I for one wouldn't mind knowing what they did after ROTJ! More

I am a full supporter of the "I like the universe, but we need new characters" line of thought, I am sure there are some familiar faces like Jedi masters who live 800 years or so (a la Yoda), but we don't need any of the old main characters looking old, tired and less talented. It'll ruin the magic that is the world we could be immersed in again so easily. More

| As Long As It's A Good Job... |
Disney have bought the franchise, as we all know, and as long as they put as much effort into these new Star Wars films as they have done in some of their other recent blockbusters, then I'm sure that it will be a good trilogy with or without a returning Harrison Ford. I like Harrison Ford as an actor, and think it would be a great shame for them to pass up the opportunity of having the trio return in these films as mentors and Generals. However, with J. J Abrams on the scene and with the amazin More

I really hope this new trilogy has a different story with new characters. Although, given he was the last remaining Jedi, Hamill would be more than welcome as far as I'm concerned. If he's on board, I'd like to see him get a supporting role. His acting's definitely improved over the years (his Joker is amazing) whereas Harrison Ford just doesn't have that spark anymore and Han isn't the kind of character you ever want to see as an old man. I wouldn't mind Carrie Fisher making an appearance I gue More

You (the magazine as a whole) can't go giving Crystal Skull 4 stars and then say you ('we') wished he'd passed on it.
