I'm extremely excited for these movies now. Not to mention I've heard Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher might be coming back to reprise their roles.

Exciting indeed! It's nice to see proven writers, too, rather than someone out of left field getting a hook-up.

Any thoughts on plotlines?

I'd be great if they took some ideas from the existing novels... but I seriously doubt it. Let's hope they don't ruin anything!
