I have eard the rumors about bringing back the original cast... and recently that Darth Vader would be back in Ep VII ... its simple: the script has not even began to be writen yet ..at best they are still selecting the writers.. so there is nothing..
They have selected writers. And not just for Episode VII, but also for Episode VIII and Episode IX. Read more here. When was the last time Disney made a decent live-action film? Has it ever happened?

Old Yeller? It was an adaptation of an existing novel, though.

Episode VII: The Star Wars Returns.
Peace! Nothing is happening. Fortunately, video technology allows our heroes to witness what has occurred the past 40 years. . . .

Star Wars Episode VII: Star Peace
The first movies did sort of imply that the rebels were a cohesive opposition, so partisan infighting would be unlikely, but there may still be forces loyal to and in a better position to jockey to control the remains of the empire. That would avoid the necessity of movies that eschew exciting space battles for boring political talks about resurrecting the Republic. Actually it could be interesting to see the Rebel Alliance take power and flirt with becoming a new, evil empire, only to have their efforts stymied by the Jedi.
Or, they'll bring the Trade Federation back and ruin everything. Maybe we could just spend Life Day with the Gungans...

Now that the news has had time to settle, there's really only one feeling I have about all this: Intense joy that we'll be getting Star Wars films by someone other than George Lucas. The franchise is oddly like Star Trek, which likewise got better whenever it was distanced from its creator.

Yes, the "anybody but Lucas" mentality is what I rallied against in the 2008 and 2012 elections. What if "anybody" turns out to be Uwe Boll (or Mitt Romney)?

The Avengers. The Muppets. Pirates Of The Carribbean. The Santa Clause.
That said, those are 4 out of about 500 absolute stinkers.
Touché. It shows that Disney can when they really want to (or when they put the right people to do it). But I only consider Pirates of the Caribbean a true Disney film. The three others are based on others' material. Of course, so is Star Wars now. So maybe there is hope after all.

Nope. That's prequel-level, overly-prescient bullshit. "Destiny" is a better explanation, which is to say it's not an explanation. With the way the movie canon has been screwed with, I don't doubt it could be the official story, but it sucks, it's stupid, it enervates a classic moment in the films, and it makes the films' most genuinely loveable characters look like a cold-blooded killer.

Here is the strange thing. In Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and A Song of Ice and Fire, dwelling into the details of the universe and the 'unseen' items makes the world more interesting and come alive. But in Star Wars, it is the exact opposite; the more I learn about the world, its details and history, the less exciting the stories become.

I thought R5-D4 deliberately blew his own motivator in an act of sacrifice to help out R2

Completely agree with you. How about midichlorians?
Especially midichlorians.

Or it will just turn out that the entirety of the movie continuity from ANH onward was just a dream Luke was having after being left in a coma by the Tuskens.

Abrams has been confirmed by Lucasfilm. I'd link to it but you can use the google machine just fine yourself.
