Lawrence Kasdan - a Lucasfilm veteran who wrote or cowrote scripts and screenplays for Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi

This is good news.

I still wonder how on earth Han Solo's character is going to work in some way that actually befits Harrison Ford's age. It's not if any of the big three out of the original trilogy have tremendously grown in acting ability to properly take on a significant change in their characters with age. I have a nasty feeling this is going to be another Indy 4.

The only way that I can think of these actors reprising these characters that could work would be bit parts (or something close to it).

My brain has a weird black hole with names. I couldn't name a single movie that JJ Abrams has done. And I'm sure that I've seen them all, whatever they are.

That's easy... Which movies made you squint?

Two words: lens flare

I don't give a shit if the guy apologized for it, it was still wrong.

Whatever!

I hope they bring Mr. Salacious B. Crumbs back.

I hope they bring Mr. Salacious B. Crumbs back.

That will be hard to do.

He died in 4 ABY, when Jabba's sail barge exploded over the Great Pit of Carkoon.
