Today in Star Wars rumors: Ex-employee George Lucas offers outsider info on Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamill
It’s obviously been known for months now that Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford will all be returning to reprise their roles in the next Star Wars film, thanks to the diligent work of industry insiders such as Palm Beach Illustrated and people who have movie scoop sites to fill. But for what it’s worth, today comes yet more unofficial speculation on the matter from one “George Lucas,” a former, possibly disgruntled employee of Lucasfilm, whom Bloomberg Businessweek interviewed, presumably out of a mixture of bemused curiosity and pity. “We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison—or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation,” this man said, waxing nostalgic over the time he built the space-railroad and made it space-run, before asking his buddy Disney if it could spare 4 trillion dimes.
