Boba Fett Chimes in on Episode VII
♦ by Unknown Wednesday, 7 November 2012 0 comments
We've heard what Luke Skywalker and Han Solo and Princess Leia have to say about Disney's recent buyout of Lucasfilm and Star Wars: Episode VII. But what about the saga's resident badass, Boba Fett?
In a recent interview with Unleash the Fanboy, actor Jeremy Bulloch, who originated the role of the famed Star Wars bounty hunter, offered his thoughts on the studio deal that transpired last week. "Obviously it came as quite a shock to everybody, there must have only been a few people who knew about it, but I think in general it really came as a surprise," Bulloch said. "I always felt that there was more of a story to tell after Return of the Jedi, and always hoped that they would go back and do an Episode VII. I hope it really is good, and that they go back and capture that 'wow' factor that made the trilogy so great."
Assuming Boba really did escape the clutches of that Sarlacc pit in Return of the Jedi, is there a chance Bulloch would reprise his role? "Realistically I'm sure if Boba Fett were to return they would go with someone younger, but I'm still fit and can jump around. I'd love to be involved in some way, maybe a cameo as an aging Bounty Hunter in the corner somewhere," he said.

Is Carrie Fisher Down With More Star Wars?
♦ by Unknown Wednesday, 7 November 2012 0 comments
Carrie Fisher has stayed pretty quiet about last week's announcement of a new Disney-produced Star Wars film. However, the former Princess Leia happened to be at LAX yesterday where she was briefly questioned about Star Wars: Episode VII.
Rumors have already pointed to the possibility of the new trilogy centering on a much older Luke, Han and Leia. When asked if she'd accept a role in the new Star Wars, Fisher dryly told TMZ, "Yes. Sure. Wouldn't you?"
As she made her way to the elevator, the actress was then asked about the Disney/Lucasfilm buyout, specifically if she believed George Lucas should have asked for more than the settled $4.05 billion from Disney. As the doors closed, Fisher smirked, "Four and a half."
