Collider Jedi Council
Today the Council discusses the shortlist of actors for Young Han Solo, a possible new planet in Episode VIII and some big speculation on a potential funeral in Episode VIII. Plus, JJ Abrams on directing another Star Wars movie, the Dubrovnik location wrap for Ep VIII and a new Disney trademark for “Shadow Trooper.”

You could have a pretty good drinking game if everytime Campea says “meh” you take a shot.
Ugh, Campea is impossible to please. Kinda’ reminds me of *other* Star Wars fans I know… *cough cough*
One thing that disappoints me about the wait betwen VII-VIII is the glaring lack of EU material set in realtime to keep us interested. It wasn’t even this bad between I-II or IV-V which at least gave us ongoing comics and bridge novels.
I know what you mean – as a fan of the original Marvel SW comics – they still ( in-between films ) took the movie characters on some incredible adventures. Of course, they weren’t allowed to touch issues that may be covered in the next movies to come, but given their parameters, they did some wonderful stories – especially between the time of ESB and ROTJ.
These new comics seem mostly lacklustre.
Even the Poe comic is supposed to take place pre-TFA I think. I know the film ended in a way where it was almost impossible to continue the story through the EU but they could have another Republic type of comic about all the bit characters we saw in VII like Captain Ithano, Sarco Plank, and Snap Wexley on what they did between the films since it’s not like they will be the focus of the next ones.
