STAR WARS 7 Takes Place 30 Years After RETURN OF THE JEDI; Starts Filming in May | Collider

While speaking during today’s earnings call, Bob Iger said that Star Wars: Episode VII will take place 30 years after Return of the Jedi and will star “a trio of new young leads along with some very familiar faces.” He then went on to say that filming on the J.J. Abrams-helmed follow-up begins in May. 30 years is not a major timegap in between the original trilogy and this new trilogy of films, which makes it quite easy to involve Luke (Mark Hamill), Leia (Carrie Fisher), and Han Solo (Harrison Ford) in the central plot of the film.

We know there was tension between original screenwriter Michael Arndt and Abrams over how much the original cast would be involved in the Episode VII story, with Abrams favoring a Luke/Leia/Ha-focused Episode VII before handing the reigns over to the younger characters in episodes VIII and IX. Arndt was replaced by Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan as screenwriter, which suggests that Luke, Han, and Leia will have a significant presence in Episode VII.

Speaking of Endor, it really was Darth Vader's achilles heel. A planet with lame creatures such as EWOKS should have beein turned to the Imperial Hunting Grounds. Roasted Ewon would've been huge on the black market. Vader could have traders pay him and then they sell higher on Tatooine. If he had set this up right, no meeting up with his son that would lead to him dying.

If I were to remake Episode 6, I would replace Ewoks with Midgets and that planet would mitchrock the casbah!

I hope Kasdan wrote it more like Empire and less like Jedi.

Isn't the story that Kasdan did write Jedi more like Empire...but Herr Lucas insisted on Ewoking it up in the interest of merchandising? Pretty sure that's the case.
 
I watched Star Trek: Into Darkness this weekend.

If this is any indication of what we're looking forward to seeing with Ep VII, ugh.

Possible STID SPOILER:

Since when did Spock become a super hero?
What a ****ing joke!
