    Leia being tempted by the dark side would interesting. It just occurred to me that Leia may not get as much as screen time as Han or Luke. I thought I remember seeing something about her role being a bit smaller.

    I could see Luke skirting the "moral ambiguity" of certain circumstances given the rumor and/or speculation that their are a bunch of blurred lines between the Empire and the New Republic. This seems to echo George's idea that this ST would be about moral choices. BUT I don't want to see Luke go to the Dark Side, which was done in the Dark Horse comics series to quite unspectacular effect.

    And I definitely cannot see Leia even remotely skirting the Dark Side as he family and home -- Alderaan -- were destroyed by the Empire. Her hatred for everything they stand for -- albeit a path to the Dark Side -- would prevent her from embracing the DS IMO. I just don't see it.

    I agree that Luke is not likely to turn sith but he may perhaps use some dark side techniques and not have a melicious or self serving purpose. That doesn't necessarily corupt for example the force choke he uses on Jabba gamorean guards. Seems to me that would probably be a dark side trait . But who knows. I just hope Luke is the super Jedi Master we all hope he is. Complete with crazy bad ass powers.

    Yeah I like the idea of bringing him back too. Episode VII has the potential of being the highest grossing film of all time.....Why wouldnt you bring the director back.

    My only disappointment with JJ is that he isnt directing 8 and 9.

    He bring fun back to Trek and even lots of non Trek fans over.

    If fun and exciting movie has a name, it will be JJ Abram.

    So far, I've liked all I've seen from JJ.
    MI:III was good, and MI: Ghost Protocol (produced by him) was very fun
    I absolutely loved his Trek films, a very clever reboot without actually being a true reboot
    Super 8 was totally Spielberg-ish, and I love Spielberg
    With him and Kasdan on the helm, I'm confident I'll enjoy this new Star Wars film!

    Forgot. Not a very big article. Just talks about Abrams having issues with Disney. No specific details. Says a little about the 4chan leak and Kasdans screenplay being "too good for Abrams". You can go to Starwarsunderworld.com to read it. If you want.

    My bad. Wrong site. Star Wars Universe but I couldnt find anything on there. This is why Lucas did what he did so he didn't have to be under a watchful eye of a studio.

    Lol, the article's source is an article posted by the Guardian whose source is the 4chan spoilerman guy. What a joke.

    They also have absolutely no clue what they are even repeating.

    "the source also says Driver plays a part cyborg masked Sith-like character and has been spotted in snowy woods with a lightsaber, though that remains to be seen."

    Obviously a reference to the trailer, and if a "Sith-like figure with a lightsaber in the woods" still "remains to be seen" by anyone, they need to peep that tiny little TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE THAT CAME OUT A WEEK AGO.

    Terrible article, ran by a place that seemingly has zero interest in Star Wars aside from getting more clicks to their awful
    site.​

    I believe it's "Jesus H Roosevelt Christ"...

    But I totally agree with the inanity of quoting 4chan... or believing that someone actually working for Lucasfilm would choose 4chan as a viable method of distributing a leak that would (if true) be this big
