I was trying to figure out the shadow in this one, but then I noticed the upper right hand corner.

Still don't see it though.

I hope Disney corrects one of the biggest errors in the Star Wars movies. The fact that a parsec is a unit of distance, not time. :nerd:

When do they use it as a measure of time? When Han boasts he did the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs? That's actually correct. The Kessel Run is an 18 parsec smuggling route through a region of space densely populated by black holes (the Maw). By cutting his safety margins, Solo managed to fly closer to the black holes and shave off over six parsecs of distance. The question you should be asking is not why Han uses the wrong measurement, it's how fucked up does space look near the Maw that Han managed to cut a third of the trip out without anyone else trying it.

Actually biggest fuck up of all time is Chewbacca getting no medal

Come on now...we both know that the biggest fuck up of the Star Wars franchise is actually Hayden Christensen.

I take it that episode 7 will deal with telling the story of the rebuilding of the new republic with Luke as the new master Jedi?

I think Disney hit a home run with this deal. It sounds like Lucas has always had these three remaining films written, even though he has been quoted as saying that he did, then he didn't, and then he decided he was sick of the B.S. of it all, (even though it has made him billions), and washed his hands of it completely.

The films may completely suck, but you can pretty much guarantee that they will still put butts in the seats of theatres around the world when 7 premiers.

Personally, I am excited to see what happens. Will Disney try to bring back Hamill, Ford and Fisher to continue the story? Just casting those three for the next film alone would guarantee a gargantuan haul at the box office.

Different franchise, but certainly applicable...:D
