‘Star Wars’ Episode 7 Rumours - Return of Chewbacca?
Rumours of the return of the "Millenium Falcon" with Harrison Ford just got stronger, as reports of a casting call for a seven feet tall man emerge. The description for the casting fits the role of Chewbacca perfectly.
Peter Mayhew, who played the role of Chewbacca in the 1970s "Star Wars" trilogy, was about 7.2 feet tall. With the rumours of Harrison Ford playing the role of Han Solo, the space smuggling dup could be seen together again, in the upcoming trilogy.
The "Star Wars" episode 7 is rumoured to be based on a time period just after the "Return of the Jedi" movie. The movie saw the end of the Sith and the emperor. The new movie could be based 20 to 30 years after the peace was established across the galaxy.
Han Solo and Chewbacca were space smugglers who used to smuggle for crime lord - Jabba the Hut. The crime lord was based in a desert planet called Tatooine. Recent media reports suggest that one of the production locations is in New Mexico.
The reports have led to speculation that the desert planet Tatooine may yet again be seen in the upcoming movie. Will we get to see Jabba the Hut in a post war world? What role can he play in a peaceful world? Fans are also expecting some pod racing in the movie.
Rumours are rife about the possible plot and storyline of the upcoming trilogy. Fans are wondering who the new face of evil will be. With the death of Darth Vader and the emperor the Sith are finished, but are they? Can we see a resurgence of the Sith?
The other rumours are expecting a pirates and bounty hunters angle. With the rumoured cancellation of "Star Wars" games like the planned "1313," fans expect that some of the story elements could be carried from the games on to the movies.
The "Star Wars" episode 7 is due to be released in 2015. Meanwhile fans are trying to get as much rumours and information as possible. Click here to read plot speculation on the Sith planet "Korriban."
