"I was at Carrie Fishers book signing in Cherry Hill, NJ on November 15, and the interview she did started with the question 'Are you really going to be in a new star wars movie?' and Carrie answered quietly 'Yes....I thought it was already common knowledge.' She did not elaborate, as she probably doesn't want to crow too loudly at this point in the project development. But this is the first confirmation from one of the main OT Cast. LFL has not said the cast would return yet."

This report goes along with what has been stated previously about Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford all being wiling to return to a galaxy far, far away and having discussions with George Lucas about the films. Now all we need is the true official confirmation from Lucasfilm.

Lucasfilm’s co-chairman and soon-to-be president, Kathleen Kennedy, has told employees she wants the company to produce two or three films a year (it’s averaged fewer than four per decade), and first up is Star Wars: Episode VII for 2015, which will pick up sometime after Darth Vader gave his life to overthrow (figuratively and literally) the Emperor and save Luke in 1983’s Episode VI— Return of the Jedi. Yes, the plan is to return to the characters in the first trilogy (1977–83). Whether the original actors will have significant roles or merely be on hand to pass the baton to a new generation of actors—something Lucasfilm tried with mixed success with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Disney with TRON: Legacy—is unclear. But the reintroduction of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo is a jolting concept that will inspire a lot of goose bumps and at least a few groans. George Nolfi, a Star Wars buff as well as the writer-director of The Adjustment Bureau, says the horizon will need to be bigger to handle the colossal project taking shape. “I can’t imagine,” Nolfi says, “a larger event film for our generation than a sequel to Return of the Jedi.”

The next year is sure to have a lot of goodies in store for us. I know I am going to continue to enjoy The Clone Wars Season 5 and I look forward to sharing the theater experience of the 3D version of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith with my fellow Star Wars junkies. Let the flood of new Episode VII information and images start pouring in! The future is bright as we look forward to Episodes VII, VIII, & IX and beyond in the coming years!
