Jeremy Bulloch to be Involved With the New Star Wars Movies?


Jeremy Bulloch who played Boba Fett in the Original Trilogy was attending the Salt Lake Comic Con’s FanXperience on Thursday. He let a slip that he might be involved with the new Star Wars movies...

From lordofthelightsaber:
Bryan Young: So neither of you have gotten a call for Episode VII then? 
Jeremy Bulloch: Not yet, but I oops (slaps hand to mouth)Daniel 
Logan: he’s like I only got a fax. 
Jeremy Bulloch: … I’m not allowed to say. I’m sorry.

While they speak of an Episode 7 involvement, I think it's unlikely. Still I won't be surprised if he does some voice work for the upcoming Star Wars: Rebels TV series.



Thanks to Frank Davis for the heads up.

  1. I would love a return to his original voice. I know Lucas went over the top to try and ram in connections between the prequels and the originals... but changing Boba's original voice just didn't make any sense.

    Clone or not growing up separate from his father for years would easily shape the way he speaks. Plus he was wearing the helmet... Leia was proof of how far that can skew your voice. So why change such iconic lines!

    I know there's a lot of other things that don't make any sense as well but that one bothers me the most... young Anakin force ghost is #2 :P

    1. "...went over the top and try and ram in connections between the prequels and the originals."

      ...the same way hiring Lawrence Kasten, using miniatures, possibly rehiring the "Big 3," and bringing back old analog film tried to "ram in connections." ?

    2. It doesn't make sense to have Boba's voice sound like his clone Father's? How dare Lucas ram in connections between the prequels and the originals

    3. "the same way hiring Lawrence Kasten, using miniatures, possibly rehiring the "Big 3," and bringing back old analog film tried to "ram in connections."
      No they are doing all that because that's actually clever and will make a better film... Also, hate to be that guy, but it's Kasdan not Kasten.

    4. Whether one prefers Jeremy Bulloch or Temuera Morrison's voice, they only delivered Boba Fett's "iconic" lines; they didn't write them. So let's place the credit for that where it belongs: Lucas, Kasdan and/or Leigh Brackett (RIP).

      Delete
    5. I don't think Boba was even in the Brackett draft which is almost nothing like the Lucas/Kasdan script.

    6. Hence why I said and/or.

    7. Filmmaker here:

      Using film vs video actually has visual benefits if done properly.
      Miniatures can look far more realistic than cgi, again if done properly, with some limitations obviously.
      Kasdan is a logical choice from any standpoint.
      The big 3 is a logical choice as well, people were once robbed of the dream of seeing the sequels with their beloved characters, to see them again will finally deliver the sequels the fans want, and it only makes sense to do so.

    2. lmao.... tell that to the Anakin/Vader fans that cannot except the fact that this new trilogy will be about the last Skywalker being the real chosen one. Lucas said things before and changed his mind on things. Anakin was the chosen one until he changed his mind in Revenge of the Sith and showed in 2 scenes about how Anakin was not the one. That way, there is a plot for the new trilogy. But Anakin fanatics cant accept that, but they will get a rude awakening when they see part 7.....So Anakin fans start crying. LOL

      Delete
    3. Anakin was the chosen one, when he killed the Emperor, he brought balance to the force.

      Delete
    4. Oh really ?. You saying the evil is gone ? There is no finalized balance. Why else is there gonna be a new trilogy coming ? Plus a chosen one who would do that wouldnt kill children in the Jedi Temple regardless of how many sick zombie fans there are of you out there. But i guess you young generation who got their education from the Kardashians and Jersey Shore wouldnt have any brains anyway.

    5. At Anonymous at 11:06 pm........ There was no such thing about a chosen one when Lucas did the original trilogy ( 4,5,6 )... it was just about the story of Luke saving his father, etc. the chosen one part was never introduced until Lucas did The Phantom Menace. And Lucas said himself that Anakin was the one until Revenge of the Sith was made where in 2 scenes, it gives you an idea of where Anakin came from and what the new trilogy will be about. lucas has confused many fans over the years with things like Anakin and Vader being different people then making them the same. And he did the same with Luke and Leia. at first, they were supposed to be a love triangle with Han and Leia choses Han at the end, but he changed it to make Leia Lukes sister. He has done the same with Anakin at first being the one, and now he's not. Most likey, the chosen one will probably be one of Leias children if they decide that Luke won't have a child like what was in the EU. Lucas has made a great impact on changing things and confusing fans. thats probably what makes Star wars great. All the debates we have.

    6. Think of the force as puddle. When it is out of balance, it is because something has causes ripples in it (i.e. a stone thrown into the puddle), and once it finally settles, nothing is keeping it from the same happening again from another stone being tossed at it.

      Delete
    7. Everyone forgets when in part 3 when Obi-Wan asked Mace and Yoda in the cargo transport ship asking " Is he not the chosen one who will destroy the sith and bring balance to the force "..... the first line he says is " destroy the Sith "..... the sith is not all destroyed yet so that right there says that Anakin is not the chosen one. We still havent seen the sith planet yet with millions of sith on it. Do the math.

  8. So basically if Bobba Fett returns from surviving the sarlac pit and appears in part 7, then trains Jacin Solo, etc etc, then we are right back in the middle with the EU. We might as well bring back Vader, Maul, Grevious, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Yoda and just have time travel just like Star Trek. Let's go ahead and bring in capt Kirk and Spock and the Klingons and Vulcans. Why not. If we are gonna foloow the EU, then lets just go all out hardcore. If this how stupid this will be, mine as well go all out with it.

    1. I sense you don't like the EU, lol.

      I also sense you realize that there is a very strong possibility that elements of the EU will be present in VII and beyond. That's what I've been saying all along.

      By the way, correction: Kirk and Spock were never in the Expanded Universe. Double LOL.

      Delete
    2. I know what the EU novels are. lol I dont hate the EU, actually i find the EU to have many cool characters. I wouldnt mind seeing some of them in part 7 and beyond, but i dont want them to follow the story from the EU. I dont like Luke or any Jedi having wives and children. thats not what the Jedi are, regardless of how much EU fans want to cry about it. But as for Bobba Fett, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, they are dead, gone, bye bye. It is sad to see cool characters like Grevious, and Maul to not have much plot in the movie and die quick, and u can blame Lucas for that, but Star Wars is supposed to be more real life like. Time travel and bringing back the dead is for Star Trekkies.

      Delete
    3. Why do Jedi have to not procreate? As others have referenced before, the lack of human connection is what doomed the first incarnation of Jedi. moreover, it is a stupid premise anyway. If all the Jedi ceased to have children, the result, at a minimum, is that the population of force sensitive beings will diminish over time. At worst, it will eventually result in the complete extinction of force sensitives... and that is almost what you have (impliedly) at the end of ROTJ. How else are the force sensitives supposed to build back up their ranks if not by procreating?

      Delete
    4. LOL at Anonymous 9:31..... The Jedi didnt have a lack of connection. The Jedi make that sacrifice. Thats what makes them special. The only Jedi to have a wife and children was Anakin. period. You EU fans just cant let it go can ya ?..... You all think that all jedi are supposed to be married...lol.... Pathetic.... Obviously you dont understand what the Jedi truely are. Go back to the EU world.....

      Delete
    5. Funny thing is, I'm not an EU fan and I have never read a shred of that material. But some people just love to jump to conclusions. I am just looking at the issue from a common sense perspective. (Arguably no one in the PT had any "connection" since all of the acting, except for Palpatine, was wooden and without any passion or emotion...)

    6. Sorry, different Anon.

    7. At Anonymous 9:48...... u can blame the lack of acting and story plot on Lucas. Thats what he gets for not getting a real director and writer to help him.

      Delete
    8. And by the way, what makes Jedi "special" is not the "sacrifice" but their force sensitivity (OT) and their midichlorian count (PT), which arguably could only be transmitted genetically. It's just logic. But if you prefer to think of them as some kind of tribe of mystical monks, be my guest. For me, I just hope the Star Wars saga doesn't just turn out to be some repackaged biblical story of "the savior" like the Matrix trilogy was...

      Delete
    9. At Anonymous 10:02...... Oh really ?... I bet u didnt have a problem when you thought that Anakin was the chosen one. And if you don't like the biblical story, thats your problem...And the midichlorians are not only genetically transmitted like it was from Anakin to Luke,Leia.... The midichlorians can be in anyone no matter how average the parents are. You must have not really followed the SW story in the movies like you think. Go watch all 6 episodes again in order and follow it closely... If you do, and have a brain, and have common sense, then you will know excatly what im talking about...

      Delete
    10. Anonymous 10:15 - No, I followed and understood the saga just fine. I just disagreed with, and rather despised Anakin being the "Chosen One" and the whole microscopic-bugs-control-the-force-and-the-universe story arcs that the PT introduced. The midichlorians are just silly and to me (and plenty of others). Lucas tried too hard to explain and tie all the episodes together on this point (and others). The suggestion that midichlorians just randomly show up in individuals without regard to their parents just makes no sense. Is it in the story? Yes. But is it stupid? Absolutely. I'd like the Star Wars saga to be at least somewhat plausible, hence my references to common sense and logic. Hopefully, this team will return to those principles, considering the overwhelming criticism of what we got when it was just Lucas calling all the shots.

    11. Well Anakin wasnt the chosen one as we learned in part 3. He was a false prophet, or false hope as we can put it. I agree, the evilness what Anakin did, disqualified him from being the chosen one. For some odd reason, some fans can;t agree to that, but soon they will when part 7 comes out. And yes the midichlorians do randomly show up on some becasue the Jedi are single. Of couse the EU generation can't except that, but too bad.

      ...what on earth did I just read?.. George has said Anakin was the chosen one.. He was. He killed sidious and brought balance back to the force. Presumably in ep7 it will become unbalanced once more. False prophet?.. You literally have no idea what you are talking about.

      Delete
    13. And around and around we go. Lucas changes his mind all the time... I personally agree with this Anon that it makes sense that Anakin was a "false hope" in the PT giving rise to A New Hope in Episode IV. Guess we'll have to wait to see how the ST plays this out to see who is right...

      Delete
    14. go to GOOGLE and type in " revenge of the sith anakin told about darth plagueis youtube "..... it will show you a 1 min 48 sec video clip from that movie and listen to excatly what Palpatine ( Sidious ) tells Anakin. Listen to the first part. the second part was about the way to save life and thats how he reeled in Anakin.... But listen to the first part of what he says. I know it was a small scene, but Lucas has a funny way of sneaking in clues from time to time. This is part of his story treatments he finalized for the last trilogy of trilogies ( 7,8 and 9 ).... Each trilogys basic plot was about the adventures of the Skywalkers. So when you see this scene, you get an idea about what and who the last Skywalker will be.

      Delete
    15. Just a quick comment:

      Jedi in the PT are not allowed to love, but they are allowed (and encouraged for the sake of keeping the ranks strong) to procreate.

      Delete
    16. Furthermore:

      My theory: there was never a chosen one, and the force was never put into balance (because it can't be). It was an old jedi prophecy that was not true (thus no mention of it in the OT regardless of what Lucas says now). There, problem solved. Move on.

      Delete
    17. Listen to this non believer. lol Actually, we all should say the balance of the force won't happen until Lucas brain is balanced on his mind changing ways and finally sticks with something so our minds will finally balance out. Can i get a MUHAHAHAHAHAHA !! : )

  9. Every character from the OT and even some PT are being thrown into the mix.

      Which PT characters are being thrown into the mix? Maybe I missed that, because everything I've heard is a throw-back to 77-1983.

    4. The best way to bring back characters that are dead from the OT and PT would be to have them on a holocraun or an image telling others what they learned from there time. Like seeing Vader on one explaining things from what he learned, etc. And even Ewan being on one when he was the young Obi and with CGI bring back the old Obi-wan when he communs with Luke like he did in the OT. Didnt anyone else think it was stupid when Lucas put young Anakin as a ghost in Return of the Jedi instead of keeping it like it was ?..... Totally stupid....

    4. Anon @8:43

      If there is one thing I have learned from Disney's approach to Star Wars these past two years, it's that they have listened to hardcore fans (ie, people like you) who demand the return of particular things that characterized the OT. With the rampant hatred of the Clone Boba Fett, Disney is probably going to bring back the original Boba with the Original voice. Afterall, they are going back to miniatures and sets and props and using Lawrence Kasten, etc, etc, etc.

    5. It would be better if Bobba had a son who became like his dad and was dedicated on getting revenge on Han and Lando for his dads death. that would be more real to me.

    6. "that would be so bad!!!!!!!!!!
      boba is dead end of story"

      Well no, not end of story. We never saw him die.. We saw him cry as he fell into a pit.. How dumb do you have to be to assume that falling down into a pit would killed a bounty hunter!? I always presumed he fixed his jetback and flew out or called one of his bounty hunter buddies or something. Now that there's a sequel, we'll actually see him back. Nothing to do with the EU, it's just logical for that to happen. I mean seriously? You seriously want him to have died by falling into some pit that takes 1000 years to digest a single person?.. I think it's safe to say he survived lol.

      Delete
    7. ok since u EU fans want to bring someone back from the dead, lets bring back Jabba the Hutt. lets say he faked his choke death from Leia, then jumped from his barge ship and ran across the dessert to later meet up with Luke in part 7. thats how stupid you EU fans sound like. LOL

    9. Anon@12:24,

      Wanna know what is REALLY dumb?

      Thinking that the galaxy's most ruthless crime lord would use the pit to execute his enemies, if anyone could get out easily.

      Boba Fett didn't die because he was pushed into the pit by a blind man. He died because he fell straight into the maw of a creature known to devour anything that came close to its slimy tentacles and/or sharp jaws.

      Terrible idea. The son waited 30 years? Come on, what was he doing these last 3 decades? Boba Fett doesn't have to be dead, he just didn't need to come after anyone after Jabba was dead (he had no loyalties, just for hire, and the philosophy of such character is the galaxy moves on). Simply put, he'd just keep going about his business.

      Delete
    11. At Anonymous 3:56.... Thats a better idea if Fett had a son on revenge. If his child was a couple years old when he died in ROTJ, then 30 years later he would be fit and ready and strong to go after them. Also, he could have had other adventures along the way that leads up to his time of revenge. Look at Jango Fetts son Bobba...... Bobba was a boy when his dad died, but didnt become the bounty hunter Bobba Fett until about 3 decades or a few years earlier.....So the time frame of 3 decades fits perfect. It would be better to have Bobba have a son who later on goes after Han and Lando. Maybe you could say that Bobbas son didnt know about his dads death until he was an adult. That plot is alot better than bringing bobba Fett back to life after falling in the sarlac pit. lol no one could survive Jabbas sarlac pit.

  12. Boba Fett surviving past the sarlacc has nothing to do with EU. It's just logical given the clear facts we are presented with in ROTJ. He fell into a monster that takes a thousand years to digest it's victims and he wears weapon cashed combat armor. It's not like he was sliced in two or anything. It takes just as much assumption to say he died as it does to say he didn't.

    4. That is an assumption on your part. Did you see Boba Fett die in the sarlacc? No. My statement was that it takes just as much assumption to say he died as it does to say he escaped. You can period and exclamation all you want but it doesn't change any of that.

    7. Again more assumption on your part and certainly no cause for anyone to have to "deal with it". Offer me some statements or dialogue from ROTJ to back up your assumptions and prove that you have some greater basis to state Fett died then I have already stated to say that he could have survived. But in reality, you can't. All indication to me is that you are coming from raw emotion and a desire to see the EU done away with (I share that feeling actually) and probably never understood the attraction Boba Fett has had with fans over the years and so are looking for any excuse to make yourself feel superior to them. But the raw truth is the movies leave Fett's fate up in the air. Deal with it.

    8. lol. You must have been obsessed with the EU cause only the EU fans are protesting for Bobba Fett to return. And im sure you will say Darth maul will return with robot legs to fight Luke. LMAO. I understand you love Bobba Fett with all your heart just like the Vader fans do with theirs. But the facts are, hes dead. Plain and simple. What you are saying basically would be like if Jabba the hutt faked his choke scene , jumped from his craft before it blew up, and slimed his way back home. thats how dumb your arguement is.

    9. I'll leave it to the rational people out there to decide.

    10. I do have proof that Boba died. I watched and heard the Sarlacc creature BURP right after it gobbled up the bounty hunter. Now maybe that burp was more out of indigestion more than anything else, but NO living creature burps unless it has actually swallowed its food. End of debate.

      Delete
    11. Not even close to the end of debate, but now that you are being more rational we can at least have a debate :)

      The fact that he was swallowed means nothing. The nature of the sarlacc as described in the movie is that victims experience pain and agony in the belly as they are slowly digested over a thousand years. That means they are alive long after swallowed. It is even arguable that the monster even needs them to be alive long after swallowing them. It also means that at least for the rest of the victim's natural life (which indicates weak digestive enzymes), they suffer excruciating pain and are conscious for it. This allows for will, ingenuity and cunning (as Fett demonstrated by figuring out Solo's plan of escape in ESB, weapons, and armor defenses as well as a rocket pack and who knows how many other hidden surprises that he could bring about. None of the other victims we saw get swallowed had anything like that so their possible escape is far less likely. Again, escape is very plausible.

    12. My gosh. you are so lost in deep space with this Bobba Fett being alive and well. I give it to ya. Your loyalty and love for Bobba is beyond the realms of BattleStar Galactica. But you must make peace with yourself and your boy Bobba. He's gone. He's not coming back for dinner, no hollidays, no shopping, no dancing. He is gone. Find your innersoul and accept it. There were some cool characters that Lucas let go too soon like Bobba, Darth Maul, General Grevious, but please accept that they are gone. if you need time travel flights, write to P. O. Box " I need some help ". And watch Star Trek Generations. you may love it.

  14. Well if you look at it from a distance it makes far more sense for Boba to make a shock return in ep7 than for him to have actually died via an accident of a blinded Han.. Why do people have to bring in the EU all the time? It's going to be an original stroy. If Boba survives it's because they want Boba to survive, they're not doing it because it said so in some star wars fanction novel.

  15. lmao !!! All u EU fans can cry whatever. Its in the EU novels where Bobba Fett survives the pit and later in life trains jacin Solo. You EU fans are so lame is so comical.

    3. What's wrong with Jedi being married? Shouldn't they be allowed to behave like normal human beings if they so choose? And if it's been established that the Force is strong in a Jedi's family, wouldn't the logical thing be to encourage marriage and procreation? Didn't Anakin's offspring end up saving the day in the OT?

      Isn't Leia at least likely to have offspring in the ST? Jedi being forced into celibacy doesn't make sense, not the other way around. Lucas needlessly made the Order celibate in order to create tension between them and Anakin when the focus should've been on Anakin's seduction and betrayal.

    5. Anon @ 12:40 AM,

      What's wrong with Jedi marrying? Many, many, many reasons that would take a long, long, long time to explain. So I'll keep this short and simple:

      First off, the issue is not marriage; it's emotional attachment. Jedi cannot have any kind of personal attachments, because the best way for their enemies to harm them is through their loved ones. And this is made crystal clear by Lucas throughout the whole saga, when both Vader and the Emperor use Luke and Anakin's attachments to lure them to the Dark Side.

      Number two, the Jedi are monk-like warriors, and in every single culture in real life, monk-like warriors are supposed to be deeply spiritual folk, who are forced to take celibacy and povery vows…at the very least.

      A little general culture goes a long way in understanding just where Lucas is coming from, and the ideas he was exploring through the SW saga. Otherwise, folk will just never come to fully understand the whole thing. Sad but true.

    6. At Anonymous 3:05 AM......... You are right on my man. That's what makes the Jedi special. The EU fans will never understand this because of the dang novel writers like Timmothy Zhan. people always trying to re write history. Lucas always said himself many many times that he never visioned the Jedi to have familes. Tha't the facts EU fans. Something you need to learn once and for all about the true ways of the Jedi. And for the record to Anoymous 12:40 AM.. Leia never became a Jedi. So having children with Han makes all the since in the world.

    7. Anon @ 3:05 AM,

      It was also Luke's emotional attachment to his father that allowed Vader to be redeemed in the end. It blows my mind how Lucas is trying to demonstrate that attachment is a bad thing for Jedi. The OT is all about emotional attachment ultimately being a positive thing. That's why I love those movies - these characters act like human beings! :D

      Emotional attachment motivated Han to risk his life for Luke on Hoth, as well as Lando for the gang on Bespin, the gang for Han on Tatooine and so on. Luke's attachment to his friends almost cost him dearly, but at least he made me feel something genuine.

      I don't want Jedi who behave like robots; I want Jedi who are mature enough to balance out their attachments with wisdom, moderation and restraint. Anakin's crazy obsession with trying to save Padme should not be the result of a Jedi trying to live like normal people. o_0

      I like how a Jedi's attachment can possibly lure them to the dark side if they're not careful. This only adds to the drama of the films. However, it shouldn't be over-the-top.

      My impression of the Jedi Order from the OT was that they were more like a mix of pastors and law enforcement officers who were devoted to their religion and code yet had spouses and children and lived among the people of the galaxy. The Force was strong in a Jedi's family, like with Anakin's offspring. Where's the logic in not allowing them the opportunity to live like normal people and have children who can potentially be part of the next generation of Jedi Knights?

      How odd that Luke can have friends but not a wife, especially since his very life demonstrates the value of Jedi having successful offspring. I'm just glad people are calling for him to forsake his friendships and live as a hermit.

      If Lucas didn't want the Jedi to have children, he shouldn't have focused so much of the OT on the importance of Vader and Luke's complicated relationship as father and son. It's because he's Vader's son that Luke has the ability to grow in the ways of the Force and save the day.

      No wonder the EU went down the same path of continuing to have Jedi give birth to Force sensitive offspring.

      It blows my mind how the Force can be strong in a Jedi's family and how Luke and Leia were clearly able to save the day, yet Jedi having children is forbidden. ^_-

      How convenient that the sibling with the womb gets to bear Jedi without becoming one herself. I guess that would be "impossible", right?

      Luke contradicts your statement in Episode VI:

      "LUKE: You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too.
      In time you'll learn to use it as I have. The
      Force is strong in my family. My father has
      it...I have it...and...my sister has it."

    10. I always hated the message of the prequels in which you can't love and have attatchment to people.. I mean really? That's a TERRIBLE message. What happened to love conquers all??? The Jedi should be clever spiritual loving respectful heroic badass wizards. The prequels turned them into boring stale nuns.

      I agree. As Han might say...

      HAN: Look, avoiding negative emotions is one thing. Making love the enemy? That's something else.

  17. I've said before, March 1st 1978 when Splinter of the Minds Eye got released or Marvels Star Wars comic "New Planets, New Perils!" published Jan 7th 1978 following on from the Star Wars film adaptaion, all continuity with the original film and it's 2 sequels went straight out of the window, as far as I'm concerned, the films are the films,and books, comics etc...are separate !!!

  18. Isn't the Clone Wars Cannon now? Well since Darth Maul can get sliced in half,and then come back I don't think it is that big of deal for Boba Fett to survive. I mean all he did was fall in the Sarlac. He has a flamethrower and all kinds of things lol. Also the sailbarge exploded which more then likely killed the Sarlac. He survived I am 99.99% sure, He is to popular of a character not to bring back

  19. He could just appear in a cameo, like he did in ROTS as Captain Colton.

    2. Mr Bulloch's far more interesting outside of the armour ... be a shame to submerge him under the metal bucket, a role anybody can play. Boba was merely a plot device to allow Vader to ambush the rebels on Cloud City. He was killed off quickly in RotJ because his use was at an end. Jango outperformed Boba in every sense, and through his adventures, Fett fans got their 'Fett Movie' fix. He's been mined, depleted twice, and there are so many more characters old and new who are more interesting than a goon in a battlesuit who whispers soundbites. And, isn't Star Wars centred on the theme of humanity defeating cold unfeeling technology? Let's leave Boba in the dust, and move on to exciting new scenarios.

  20. Boba fett movie.....they said they're making one along with a young han solo movie! makes sense that he is part of it?

  21. I know this has nothing to do with jeremy bulloch but everyone is still griping about not listing the cast for episode VII. If you look at that photo taken of harrison ford during the reddit interview you can clearly see the chair next to him has the letters CA on it, this is obviously carrie fishers chair, so that should put an end to the "are they coming back" question

  23. Now that Star Trek became so similar to Star Wars, the bashing became from Star Trek vs. Star Wars to OT vs. EU


    Maybe a lot of you is wrong. But what if they genetically bring back Vader to life and he will build a time machine to bring back Boba Fett? ever thought about that?

    Maybe it was Boba Fett that burped himself, after falling into the Sarlacc Pit, the pit made it echo and sound big.

    Maybe Boba Fett's armor melt together with the Sarlacc and transformed into a giant Bounty-Killing-Walking-Sarlacc-Pit.

    Please do not prejudice anyting is possible.

  25. I don't think he will be in ep 7, because I don't they will want to return to too many old characters. Plus he said "not yet". They would have called him by now for ep7 if he was envolved. I do however think there is a boba fett spin off film though, and I believe that's what he was talking about when he said "but I- oops"

  26. do you really want the truth? Do you? All this shit about episode 7 is a great way to let off some steam and vent your anger about what is going to happen in the next Star Wars film. But let me let into a little bit of reality. I've just been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. That's right, type 2 diabetes. so as far as I'm concerned all these petty arguments about who is going to play this part or who is playing this part to me is now insignificant. Now I'm going to let off some anger. Stop the bullshit. Wait for these films to be released. because I'm not sure If I'll get to see all of them. Until I go and see a dietitian and other people that can help me I don't know how long I've got. I have no idea what I'm up against. I Might as well be Darth Vader as far as I am
    concerned. Now I know some of you will call bullshit on my post And to tell you the truth I could not give one iota of shit. But one thing I will say is that I have given forth some hate that I shouldn't have and have received a lot of bullshit I deserved but a lot of you are doing the same thing and having a cry about it. This will probably be my last post as I'm not going to give or put up with anymore bullshit. I will however be sat on the sidelines watching the Star Wars "Ball Game" going on from the side lines.

    3. I'm sorry you have Type 2 Diabetes and will get all the help you need, but isn't that a disease people typically have for years or decades? As long as you do what you need to do, you should have no problem seeing the entire Sequel Trilogy.

      I'm grateful you weren't diagnosed with cancer.
