Yes breifly and intentionally to gain the trust of the resurected Palpatine.

i hope the use the original actors but in a more subdued role. i think the focus should be on the skywalker / solo kids from the EU. I would love to see Mara Jade finally onscreen.

No, Jacen Solo turns to the Dark Side and becomes a Sith Lord, Anakin dies during the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Would it then be a short time ago, in a galaxy far far away?
The more I think about what the next 3 movies should be, I really think KOTOR is the best way to go. It has a great story, strong characters and still has some things that would be familiar to the average fan. Of course I really don't see them doing this because it has the most risk with the average fan not accepting that Luke, Leia, Han and the droids are not in it. But I really think it could be a HUGE win if put in the right hands. After spending over 4 billion I think they play it safe.

A whole lot of salt. I can not see them doing that in any universe.

I have a hard time figuring out how or why they'd do it as well. We watched Luke burn his body on a funeral pyre. The article says:
I just cant imagine them going down that road when the imagination is literally the limit for creating a new antagonist.

There is the whole story line about jedi living beyond their body's death tho too... its intertwined with why Skywalker turned to the darkside to begin with.

Yes. I tend to agree with some of the discussion I've seen where we may see Anakin in some fashion, as a force ghost, or that someone may try and take up the mantle of Vader, but I have a hard time thinking that they would take "Anakin Skywalker - Darth Vader" and try and bring him back from the dead.
Much Like yoda and Obi Wan went on after death to advise Luke and Palpatine inhabited a younger cloned body of himself in Dark Empire. Please let Vader remain dead. I think Luke pieceing together info and creating a new Jedi Order would be interesting but would require recasting.

Does anyone else think that they have to be a lot farther along with this then we think? Maybe I'm just not looking at it right but I would think this would be planned as a summer tent-pole release. So 2015 seems a bit optimistic for how far along it seems to be. If writing has just started (or if it has at all), just over 2yrs is kind of short for a project of this scope (in my eyes anyway). Especially with it being a planned trilogy. I might just be paranoid but we all know what can happen when you rush to put a script together just to meet a deadline. So I really hope they are a lot further than they are letting on, or 2015 isn't set in stone.
I have a feeling it is kind of both. It would not surprise me if there is at least an outline for episode 7-9 already done that just needs to be fleshed out into a script. Nothing is set in stone until the posters come out and even then there can still be changes.
