Sources also say that the studio’s brass want to bring back the three central characters of the original Star Wars: a much older Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo. No deals are in place with any of the original actors, though our source did say it had high ambitions to sign up Mark Hamill, and EW recently reported that Harrison Ford was open to the idea of returning.

"I think this is an incredibly exciting time for all of us. I am being reunited with old friends of mine from my Disney days and getting ready, like all of you, for Episodes VII, VIII, and IX. When Revenge of the Sith was over, I found myself in the incredible position of carrying the torch forward. Now I can see the incredibly bright light that is the future of Star Wars. For those of you who are fans of The Clone Wars, do not worry. We have many stories left to tell, and every one of them came directly from George himself. Right down to the last one, where that thing with Ahsoka happens…"

"Thanks to George, Star Wars truly will be forever. Now, let’s make the jump to hyperspace. Things are gonna get awesome!" Be sure to read the entire entry!

Ashley writes: "... I was cast as this “new” character on the “new” Star Wars animated series for Lucasfilm. I didn’t realize it at the time but I was entering the Jedi Temple of life and I was now Dave Filoni’s Padawan. This “new” character that we now know as Ahsoka and this “new” show that we now know as The Clone Wars has truly changed my life. My outlook on life has always been more like a Disney fairytale. Wish upon a star, sprinkle a little pixie dust and have a magical day. Well…life isn’t always like that! The stories in Star Wars helped me learn how to handle the cruel, dark side of the world. There is evil and everyone has to deal with it. However, just like Ahsoka has grown up during The Clone Wars, so have I, and Star Wars has not only taught me to believe in the good but it’s taught me to never lose hope. Good will prevail and I have become a student of the Force."

"Many people have been asking me my thoughts on Disney buying Lucasfilm. For me, it’s a natural partnership. Two companies that have already been doing amazing work together for years, who both have similar standards for excellence, messages, and fans are now coming together to tell more stories and make fans happy for years to come. I’m not sure what the future holds in all of this, but my Padawan journey keeps bringing me back to Disney. I’m going to keep on dreaming, believing, and I will never lose hope that great things are ahead!" Be sure to read the entire entry!

According to sources close to the recently announced Star Wars sequel, “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. More than money, Ford might be drawn back by the upside of changes at Lucasfilm where the respected Kathleen Kennedy is taking over as company president, and with the Jedi franchise as a whole now that Kennedy is in as executive producer and Lucas will take on a consultant role, leaving the director’s chair for someone else.

Harrison Ford won’t go to the next level of contract talks until there’s a script and director in place, but don’t be surprised if his contract includes a mandatory death scene for the sly old space smuggler. Be sure to read the entire article.
