With the latest leak on new acotrs that will be in this film and Harrison Ford breaking his ankle on set, I feel compelled to mention that I have found no where where it say that Chewbacca will be featuring in the next film debute. This could mean that his character is dead, much like in the comics where he sacrifices his life for Solo’s and Leia’s children.
Apparently they’ve decided to call this one ‘Star Wars VII: Force For Change’. Well, the Phantom Menace had a good name, it may end up still being good.
