If they do 7-9, I think it would be interesting to see them use Timothy Zahn's books to adapt as screen plays
This is the dream, but i'm hearing to not going to happen :(
Yeah, they would be cool. They're arguably the best Star Wars material to come out since the original trilogy. I say that having not read any other books though, but they do seem to be held as the gold standard of expanded universe stuff.
As cool as they'd be, I think I might rather have a new trilogy of films that I don't know the ending to before they even begin filming.

These are the only Star Wars books that I've read, and I think they would make killer adaptations.
Though, there would be something to be said for an entirely new storyline!

Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg have closed deals to write installments of the new Star Wars trilogy, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The pair will write either Episode VIII or Episode IX -- their exact division of responsibilities is yet to be determined -- and also will come aboard to produce the films. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-v ... mon-393459
After weeks of speculation, Hollywood media outlets are reporting that Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg will write two of the three new Star Wars films.
The Hollywood Reporter says Kasdan and Kinberg will write either Episode VIII or Episode IX and will also produce the movies, along with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.
Oscar winner Michael Arndt (Toy Story 3, Little Miss Sunshine) is widely reported to have already started the script for Episode VII, the first of the new trilogy to be made since George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney for more than US$4 billion last month.
Directors for the new films are yet to be confirmed. Kinberg is credited for his work on Mr and Mrs Smith, Jumper, Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes and X-Men. He is currently working on X-Men: Days of Future Past, the sequel to 2011's X-Men: First Class.
Kasdan is an original Star Wars alumnus who co-wrote The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He stayed in the Lucasfilm fold for Raiders of the Lost Ark, then went on to write and direct films including The Big Chill and The Bodyguard.
Stars of the original Star Wars trilogy such as Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher have hinted they may be willing to reprise their roles in the new films.
Disney and Lucasfilm have declined to comment on the news and says official announcements regarding the franchise will appear on StarWars.com

That's the best news I've heard yet. Kasdan is the perfect choice - episode 5 was by far the best (in my top 5 favorite films)

'Star Wars: Episode VII' may bring new hope, but also letdown
Nov. 21, 2012
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Darth Vader is dead. The evil Emperor exploded after being thrown down a shaft. And Luke Skywalker and his allies destroyed both Death Stars, restoring balance to the Force. For The Walt Disney Co., the prospective new owner of the "Star Wars" franchise, what's left to tell?
A lot, apparently.
There are more than 110 novels and 80-plus comic books set after the events of "Return of the Jedi," the sixth episode in the film series and the third to be made. All of these additions to the so-called "expanded universe" were sanctioned by Lucasfilm Ltd., founded by series creator George Lucas.
That has left a lot of room for speculation ever since Disney announced last month that it would buy Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion and resume making "Star Wars" movies, starting with Episode VII in 2015.
Bing: George Lucas planning more personal films
For fans, some big questions remain.
Will Luke take on a Jedi apprentice? Will Han Solo and Princess Leia have kids? And who will be the movie's villain? (A) A revived Emperor; (B) the hard-to-kill bounty hunter Boba Fett; (C) some new corrupt leader of the remnants of the Empire, or (D), all of the above?
Each of these scenarios have been explored, in some fashion, away from the big screen. Whether they will be incorporated into the next trilogy of films is anyone's guess.
"Right now, everyone is literally just reading tea leaves," said Bryan Young, a "Star Wars" watcher and editor of the blog, Big Shiny Robot.
The facts so far about the announced Episodes VII, VIII and IX are scant: Lucas will be a creative consultant but won't direct the films. Kathleen Kennedy will produce them as president of Lucasfilm. And Oscar-winning writer Michael Arndt, who wrote "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Toy Story 3," will pen the screenplay for Episode VII.
One of the most telling clues as to the next trilogy's direction, according to Young, is the fact that Lucas invited Luke actor Mark Hamill and Princess Leia actress Carrie Fisher to lunch some time ago to tell them that the sequels were going to be made, a reversal of his denials over the years.
Hamill talked about the lunch with Entertainment Weekly, saying he also spoke with Lucas about three weeks before the Disney announcement, and just missed a call from him the day the deal was made public Oct. 30.
That suggests that Luke and on-screen sister Leia, will be involved in some way in the sequel. After all, their characters are the last members of the Skywalker family, and the most potent wielders of the Force that appear to be left in the galaxy. "I think that's the best clue we have," Young said.
Responding to a query from The Associated Press, Hamill said he couldn't comment further, but noted in an email, "I should have all the information I need very soon."
Fisher, Lucasfilm and several people who work for the company declined comment.
The notion that Luke will make a comeback doesn't veer far from what's known about the movies themselves or from what has been said over the years.
In 2004, Hamill told Movieblog.com that Lucas' ideas for the sequels go as far back as 1976, during the shooting of the original "Star Wars," when the director said an older Hamill would have roles in them.
There is further backing for the idea that Luke will reappear from the films that have already been released, including "Return of the Jedi."
And others around Lucas have spoken publicly about the idea that the family drama that began with Anakin Skywalker and continued with his son, Luke, would carry on for at least the next three films.
"It's really nine parts of one film," said Rick McCallum, producer of the prequel Episodes I, II and III, in 1999, according to "The Secret History of Star Wars" by author Michael Kaminski.
The cohesion that McCallum suggested belies the haphazard nature with which the movies have been put together. At different points in time, Lucas has said there was just one, three, six, nine or even 12 films envisioned in all.
Kaminski's book recounts multiple script revisions to most of the films, including some discrepancies that were later papered over. For instance, at one point, Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader were separate characters, not the one person that we know in the movies who turned evil.
Given the proliferation of storylines and characters in the "expanded universe," Kaminski said there's a good chance that some of those storylines will be cast aside, altered or even contradicted outright.
"It will affect the 'expanded universe' one way or another," Kaminski said. "It's going to be hard to reconcile those different things."
The idea that the new films will diverge from what's out there is supported by Kennedy, who spoke in a video released by Lucasfilm shortly after the Disney deal was announced.
"This is not like a series of books like 'Harry Potter' where you've already got a template of what the stories might be," she said. "These are original stories and original ideas that come from out of a world that essentially is in George's head."
Beyond some broad strokes that the movies hint at -- such as Luke's passing on the Jedi ways -- it seems doubtful that such a creative mind as Lucas would surrender the movie's outcome to tales that have already been written.
That means that fans of the books, comics and video games in the "Star Wars" universe could be either disappointed or delighted by the result.
But if there were no surprises, the adventure just wouldn't be the same.
"Almost anything is possible," said Jay Shepard, a content editor at fan site TheForce.net. "But I don't believe it will be any type of plotline we've already seen."

why wouldn't the person writing episode 7 be writing 8 and 9!?? ... that's absurd ...
I'll tell you what is absurd. Disney didn't even start to take my Episode VII pitch seriously and had security escort me from the building.
It's what the fans want. How did the rest of his life go? Did he get his arm sewed back on or did he get a bionic arm? Why does his mouth look like a baboon's ass? Episode IV left way too many unanswered questions.

J.J. Abrams has been pegged to direct the next Star Wars movie.
:think: :shock:
They are letting a Trekkie direct a Star Wars movie!!!
WTF???
:evil:
:fp:
He's not a Trekkie, he had never even seen an episode of star trek, t.v. show or any of the movies before he got the green light to reboot Trek. He just knew it was a great opportunity.

I hear you, really anybody who touches the Star Wars Universe. The t.v. show there thinking about doing, that has 3 season of scripts already written was recently revealed to have been written by Ron D Moore, Writer of TNG, DS9 and ofcourse Battlestar Galactica, it was rumored it would have cost 5 million an episode but now that Disney owns it they can cut out a lot of middle men and make it for 3.5 million an Episode, so there's hope that will happen some day, it's bridges what happens between movies 3-4.
I don't like the idea of Abrams. He's overly dramatic, and he's sort of like George, he gets way caught up in the visual. I didn't think Star Trek was bad, but there were many times I thought he got carried away with the special effects while the story was pretty bare.
I loved Lost. But this is not Lost. Just like I like Nolan, but this is not Batman.
