    Harrison Ford will be playing Han Solo in the new film.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I'm going to wait to see what direction theyre going with on the new film before I decide if I like this or not.

    It was rough watching him hobble around in that awful Indiana Jones film.

    It was, i try not to think about it. He has two new movie coming out, 47 the Jackie Robinson Story and Ender's Game, both which he's looking good in Thank God. So i'm hopeful, but i worry they'll just kill Han off as some dramatic story point, but i would love if he lived through the entire next trilogy.

    These are legitimate concerns. hopefully he can be sharp/ spry once again.

    Latino Review broke the news via an appearance by the site's El Mayimbe on Fox News Latino, where he said, “It’s official. Harrison Ford will reprise his role as Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars movies.” While not infallible, Latino Review has broken many big film stories that were indeed confirmed down the line and El Mayimbe stated, “I found that out yesterday. I did my due diligence, like I do with everything. Triple checked. Legitimate sources."

    For now, Lucasfilm has not officially announced anything regarding the subject of Star Wars casting, but El Mayimbe went on to say, “His deal is done. It’s just a formality. They haven’t really announced it yet.” He noted he didn’t know the exact extent of Ford’s role in the new films, but that, “It’s significant.”

    Saw this earlier. I don't know how to feel about this one if it is indeed true...

    You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    Sam Rockwell would be good but not as Han Solo. He's already 10 years old than Harrison Ford was when they filmed the first one.

    Apparently Mark Hammill is 'in talks' over returning as Luke

    And Ewan McGregor would be interested in an Obi-Wan spinoff

    George Lucas went through many drafts for Star Wars before coming up with the final version we know and love today. Here are 20 facts about the Star Wars rough drafts and preparation for filming you may not know.

    1 - In George Lucas' rough draft of 1974, the first occurrence of "May The Force Be With You" was uttered by King Kayos of Aquilae. He actually says "May The Force Of Others Be With You All." In fact, the force was known as the force of others.

    2 - Han Solo resembled a "swamp creature" again in the rough draft.

    3 - Chewie was a nickname for Devil Two, a hot shot pilot, later changed to Wedge.

    4 - The Death Star was originally referred to as just a space fortress.

    5 - Skywalker decided to train wookiees to fly ships to help destroy the flying fortress.

    6 - In the second draft Han had changed to human. He was teamed up with Chewbacca and also in debt to an enormous fat character called Oxus.

    7 - A pirate ship makes a jump to "hyper-skip" in the second draft.

    8 - In the third draft, Ben explains to Luke about the force. It can be collected and transmitted through the use of a kiber crystal. Ben explains his was taken at the Battle of Condawn.

    9 - It wasn't until the third draft that the term light sabre was used. Up until then it was laser sword.


    10 - Han Solo built his own ship in draft three, which Jabba paid for.

    11 - At one point, George Lucas had considered doing the whole movie in Japanese with English subtitles.

    12 - Much work was done on the front part of the X-Wing's nose so it didn't look "obscene."

    13 - In the original fourteen page treatment way back in 1973, the planet Yavin was a jungle planet for wookiees.

    14 - In the opening shot of the first rough draft, a ship orbits the fourth moon of Utapau in the Kessil system.

    15 - Originally DaiNoga was a name for a Jedi in the first draft.

    16 - In the second draft the story opens with a prophecy - "And in the time of greatest despair there shall come a saviour, and he shall be known as The Son Of The Suns" - Journal of the Whills 3:127.

    17 - The evil (dark) side of the force was known as Bogan.

    18 -Luke told Biggs about a young Padawan who ran away and taught the Bogan to Sith pirates. His name was Darklighter.

    19 - In the second draft, Chewbacca was described as an eight foot tall, savage looking creature, resembling a huge grey bushbaby monkey with fierce "baboon-like" fangs.

    20 - Han agrees to take Luke and the two robots to safety (Ogana Major) for a million credits. He, however, doesn't have a ship, so fakes a reactor leak on the ship he's serving on, causing the crew including Jabba to flee in terror.

    Bogan? That sounds like some douche nickname, not the dark side of the Force.

    Oh hey, what's up Bogan?

    Harrison Ford will be playing Han Solo in the new film.
    It's also rumored Billy Dee Williams, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill will be in the new film too.
