It should be delayed! Harrison Ford is too important to the movie to be written out! And then if they delay it until May 2016, then it can come out in May like every other Star Wars film…

I heard some indonesian shaman cast a spell on Ford after grilling indonesian forestry minister.

I never got this notion of Lucas's that killing off Han Solo would negatively impact the sale of Han action figures. Did they not sell truckloads of Vader, Obi-Wan and Boba Fett toys?

Best-case scenario if movie is delayed: Push Captain America 3 to April 2016, move Episode VII to May 6, 2016 (Star Wars weekend), which just happens to be the same release date as Batman vs Superman, and then flip two middle fingers to Warner Bros.

I'd be pissed if they killed Han Solo off, but only if I didn't see Disney Star Wars as a series of bad fan films. With the "hip", inexperienced, faux-fanboy directors they are hiring, these movies are guaranteed to blow. The news about this movie is more entertaining than the film will be. As for the movies, we won't need MAD Magazine parodies anymore, because the films will be the best kind of parodies (unintentional). Long live Lucas! Down with Red Letter Media, Disney, Bad Robot and "The People vs George Lucas".

Kenny, you do know that Abrams has a much better critics rating than Lucas, right? Abrams knows how to write dialogue and how to get emotion out of his actors, that is two gigantic things that Lucas is NO good at. Lucas is an amazing overarching storyline writer but that's it. Abrams movies also look cool and better. If anything, Abram's Star Wars will be better, not to mention the fact that Abrams is continuing a tradition that Lucas gave up on, animatronics and make-up effects. I trust Abrams with the job more than Lucas 100%.

Delay the release? Lol.

Disney has this franchise stacked up like jets at O'Hare the day before Thanksgiving. Licensing obligations are the least of it. They also have talent commitments for something like 3 additional pictures, all of which would have to be paid off and/or renegotiated.

This movie is coming out on time because 1) it would be prohibitively expensive to delay and 2) quality does not matter because you mindless bitches would stand in line even if it was Abrams with 2 sock puppets humming the "Star Wars" theme.

So, no. "Star Wars" is not going to be delayed.

It won't be delayed. All Disney will do is spend couple million more it'll cost to re-arrange the shooting schedule to film most of Ford's stuff last. I'm sure there are a lot of scenes he could do even in his current state. . .It'll be a pain, but probably still less of a pain than delaying the release (bad press, more crowded summer competition, more time/money promoting and paying other people working on the movie, etc.) Disney has the money. They'll just work around the injury. Not the end of the world, people.

Delay would be painful, but writing Ford out or reducing his part if the story doesn't call for it could screw up the movie and having a successful first movie is the overriding factor after the debacle of the prequels. Disney needs to prove it can handle this franchise well.

I heard a rumour that production is going to hault in August &
That this will delay the release of the movie. Apparently it's a complete mess & rewrites are happening. Confidence is low.

Haven't you heard the latest news. It's not weeks, it's months. According to a statement, the injury is much worse than originally reported. He has a metal plate in his leg, flown back to The US for a 6 month recovery. Production will stop in August & the movie will be delayed. Listen to reports, it's not about what you want to happen. The guy has been seriously injured.

Greedo's son will kill Solo in a revenge attack for his father, sorted! Never underestimate the power of a the strange Lizard face people

He's 70 years old and has no business being the star of the movie. If the plot is going to be sort of consistent with the expanded, him and Leia will have a kid, Luke eventually has a kid as well. Maybe have the "Jedi Hunters" kill off Han Solo and Leia right from the start. Their child eventually becomes the next big Jedi.

Really not looking forward to these nexts movies. Just feel like Disney is going to follow the story line and just **** it all up.
