I tried to get my family to watch some of that. We only made it through the first YouTube segment. Princess Leia's song is pretty awesome, though.

If I was handy with CGI, I would totally spoof a PixStar movie.

I thought they specifically said it was going to be an all-original Dia de Los Muertos movie! Though they didn't own Lucasarts back then....

I was freaking out all day yesterday. I'm still freaking out. I think it's good news, at least until the movie comes out. At this point the possibilities are infinite.

Wikipedia says Episodes VII-IX will be set after Episode VI, featuring Luke, Leia, and Han, and won't be based on any preexisting material.

Any? Do they know how extensively the universe has been mapped out with permission by a dozen writers or so? They're going to try to strike out on an entirely new path even after we all know things like where Luke set up the new Jedi school and what happened to Han and Leia's son?

In a word: yep. I think it'll be a reboot for the post-ROTJ Expanded Universe.
