Few films are as highly anticipated even before production is underway but then again, few films bring the excitement of a story told in a galaxy far, far away!
With Disney now in charge of the franchise we’re promised STAR WARS sequels and spin-offs every year from the summer of 2015. First up will be director J.J. Abrams’ trek to the other side of the stars with a follow-up to 1983s RETURN OF THE JEDI. We’ll be hoping for a whole lot better than what George Lucas’ convoluted and joyless prequels ‘entertained’ us with.
With rumours of Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ casting along with the expected return of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill, new plot and character details have now appeared certainly backing up some of those reports. Abrams and Walt Disney recently confirmed the epic sci-fi sequel will shoot at the beginning of 2014 in the UK.
Storyline: Two 17 year old twins, a girl and a boy, are trained by their uncle Luke to be the greatest Jedi’s in the galaxy. Problems arise when the male twin turns to the dark side.
Jaina Solo – Female, 17 years old, lead. – Jacen’s twin sister, one of the greatest Jedi’s in the galaxy, trained by her uncle Luke Skywalker
Jacen Solo – Male, 17 years old, lead – Jaina’s twin brother, one of the greatest Jedi’s in the world. A loner who is constantly struggling with the idea of what’s right and what’s wrong. Starts to turn to the dark side. Full of conviction that what he is doing is the “right thing”. Will eventually become Darth Caedus.
Does this make fans of the space saga franchise super excited? Do let us know!

I do not like the male female twin idea thing. i rather it just be two male twins or something a bit newer like Luke as a kid no one else knows about and turns into a great Darth Lord and Layas son who is a very powerful jedi must find this Darth Lord which no one knows who it really is except for luke. the jedi’s should display new evolved jedi powers and the fights should be more epic. much less policis in the store and more jedi ass kicking please.

What I suggest they do is go into some Star Wars novel territory and bring some of Timothy Zahn’s work to the big screen. If you haven’t read any of his work, such as Outbound Flight, I highly recommend it. In these stories he brings forth new, interesting, memorable characters that could be fantastically brought to life in film. One particular character known as “Thrawn” from a foreign race called the Chiss could be hugely entertaining and a great way to expand the Star Wars universe even further. Just my two cents.

They miss one of the greatest plots in sci-fi. Did any of the guys over at Walt Dizzy take the time to read Timothy Zahn’s trilogy, which plays a few years after the destruction of the Death Star MkII? There are two of the greatest villains ever in Sci-Fi (afaic): Grand Admiral Thrawn and the twisted Jedi Master clone Joruus C’Boath. And Leia and Han are awaiting the arrival of their twins, who have also caught the evil master’s attention.
Starting from there would give some history on where the twins come from and why Jacen has the curse of Anakin on him.

Aug 19, 2013 at 2:20 am
Come on……
In the expanded universe, it took yeeears of Jacen coping with ideas of right and wrong before he succumbed to the dark side. And when he did, it was after a brilliant pilgrimage to meet with some of the greatest and wisest jedi/non-jedi force users in the galaxy. If they introduce these characters and then turn him dark nearly no damn reason, then they’ve ruined it from the get go.
Also George Lucas killed off Anakin Solo, the best of the three kids because his name was Anakin and he thinks we are all so dumb that we would confuse him with the movie Anakin…if they succumb to that…ruined again.

Yes, and it was boring in those books! How could anybody turn Jacen into a carbon copy of prequel Anakin after reading ‘Traitor’?! That had to be the most boring interpretation of that character and that book anyone could think of.
I pray to Yoda they at least go for something new and interesting with the movie version of Jacen! And can we please get rid of the ‘Darth Caedus’ moniker! Why does everybody who even just tangles with the dark side have to go all ‘darth evil-sound’ on us? Is every darksider automatically a sith? Well, that would make the sith and that universe a lot more boring. Besides, it just sounds silly and pretentious! Palpatine, for the longest time, was known simply as Palpatine, or the Emperor. There seem to be millions of darths but there is only one Emperor! And Palpatine is a damn fine, aristocratic sounding name! I don’t believe that Palpatine would creep through the shadows like a wannabe giving himself silly sounding ‘evil’ names!

Um, Jacen and Jaina were 17 in the Yuzahn Vong wars, and if that was not effed enough, there is still the chiss-killik conflict to fit in and both of these are very much needed to explain the rise of Darth Caedus and even his almosr apprentice, Benskywalker.

Firstly, I think fans would be dying to see a Thrawn trilogy, as I am personally. But the actors are too old to play their characters dated 5 years after Jedi. HOWEVER! This plot also fails. Jacen Solo didn’t turn to the dark side until years AFTER the Yuuzhan Vong war (in which he was aged 16 when it started, 20 when it ended). His actual fall happened when he was 31/32. Disney needs to learn facts before they decide to fuck things over just ‘coz they goddamn “can” fuck things over.

These stories have already been told, and are considered “canon” as they were all formallly vetted by Lucas and his production company. There’s a huge volume of written work (much of it also available in audio, including some which has full-cast performances) in the “official expanded universe.”
This doesn’t RUIN anything… it’s actually a relief, frankly. I mean, I know how the American Revolution turns out, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a film about it, right?
But Darth Caedus… the name taken on by Jacen Solo when he “turns to the dark side to save the galaxy from falling into chaos”… is certainly where I’d have come in. It’s the best “stand-alone story” I can imagine, with lots of drama.. HUMAN drama, not “SFX drama.”

This plot sounds like the most uninspired and bland idea for continuing Star Wars after Return of the Jedi they could come up with. The skywalker kids become the next sith lords… Great concept! Now lets finish the job properly and replace Abrams with Joel Schumacher!
The ‘plot’ is ripped straight from the expanded universe books, so i have little doubt that this is actually another false rumor fabricated purely for the gossip, unless Abrams is out his mind.

The whole reason why the original Star Wars was so epic was because of the duality of the light and dark sides of the Force…unless they can bring a new understanding of this phenomenon into the storyline, it will flop. You can’t keep telling the same story over and over. Something like, Luke Skywalker trying to “balance” the light and dark sides to become the true master…I think it was actually explored in some novels.

The Jaina and Jacen storyline IS from the books, albeit shortly after I stopped reading them. I agree they should have done the Thrawn storyline, but if this is true, I imagine Disney is doing this to cash in on the cache from the original actors and appeal to the teenagers out there. The Thrawn story is too deep, to dark and too risky to get it right. All about money.

There is only one problem with that story. Jacen wasn’t bad at all, the true evil character in that story was Luke. He made Jaina see her brother as ultimate enemy, which he wasn’t.

There’s not probably about it. Disney is about as free-flowing with information as a Communist nation. They will kill anyone who leaks plot information and I seriously doubt they’re going to use a plot ripped from one of the EU books. Then they’d have no plot to hide for suspense. Anyone who doesn’t think Abrams’ rep as being a plot hoarder didn’t come into play with his choice to direct is naive.

Nov 6, 2013 at 7:09 pm
Star Wars is ruined. I’ve loved SW with a passion since I was born and I already know Disney is going to turn it into another one of “their” things, which is child-oriented and diluted. It just started making a turn into a more mature direction and then that happened. I’ll stick to the books and first 6 episodes from now on, thanks.

Jacen is only one of the greatest Jedis in the world, while his sister is one of the greatest Jedis in the galaxy. No wonder he turns to the dark side, he’s jealous!

As long as GL does not touch anything, we will be ok. He actually has spent most of his life merchandizing Star Wars, and it showed with I to III

X-WING series, Thrawn Trilogy, The Jedi Academy Trilogy,, The Black Fleet Crises, Corellian trilogy, Hand of Thrawn Duology are the top ‘sets’ of novels set after ROTJ.
New Jedi Order Yuuzhan Yong could make for great films but REQUIRE some of the above sets of novels to be made beforehand to give history and perspective. At the end of the Yong novels there is a certain planet that NEEDS to be changed/ edited out – 19 novels on a single major tangent makes for bad movies.
Vector Prime has one of the saddest moments in SW history, skipping the New Republic Era and starting off with the Vong will SERIOUSLY piss off non-novel reading SW fans!
Solo twins at 17 with plots from the Legacy Era might make the prequels look like masterpieces in comparison BAD IDEA to mix time frames! Starting a series 40 years after IV is reaching too far for SW-Disney.
EP I was too cute and kid friendly/ oriented Anakin was POORLY cast and was only slightly better in II/III. NRE has the Solo kids growing up and could appeal to younger viewers while being palatable to the original/older SW fans.
NJO Solo’s are in their teens, but they NEED NRE’s backdrop or they won’t have developed characters.
JJ X-WING series are action packed and quite technically/visually detailed and just after ROTJ aka your starter set.
Thrawn Trilogy introduces many NEW characters to the SW universe and the novels need to be written into screenplays ASAP. Don’t use piecemeal aspects from Thrawn in other post ROTJ movies – they deserve to be kept AS IS and made into 3 epic movies.
If Disney insists on not using already existing SW EU materials tell them to F-OFF because you aren’t going to find better written sources.
Will reserve VII judgment until I have seen the movie, or at least the cast list/plot finalized.
