Look, it’s all very early days and I don’t want to wear anybody out by speculating or letting you waste your energy by saying ‘What do you think?’ I’m certainly not sitting by the phone, but it’s always nice when it rings. Do you know what I mean?
While Daniels is fine talking aboutEpisode VII,Harrison Fordis not.The Los Angeles Timesposted three separate clips of the actor promoting42, being asked about the film, and giving incredibly horrible, uncomfortable answers. Here’s just one fromThe Late Show with David Letterman.
For anyone with a full day to kill on YouTube,Reddit(viaThe Playlist) posted the seven hour documentary on the originalStar Warstrilogy. It’s a simple edit of three fan made documentaries we’ve posted before, filled with goodies regarding the classic films. The docs areStar Wars Begins, Star Wars: Building EmpireandStar Wars: Returning To Jedi.
Entertainment Weeklydid an interview withMike Richardson, founder of Dark Horse Comics, and Dark Horse editorRandy Stradley.They discuss the upcoming release ofThe Star Wars, a comic adaptation ofGeorge Lucas' original script. It’s pretty extensive and interesting.

Accurate or not, the article has these three concept images from the comic.
There’s even more on TheStar Warscomic book by Dark Horse over onComic Book Resources, which spoke to writerJ.W. Rinzlerabout the property.
