For a nerd, that is an eternity.

Ever hear the one about why grandparents and grandkids get along so well? They have a common enemy.
Fixed that for you.
Don't be silly. Bothanspy Cantinaglass isn't in the new movie.
How cute.
Hi everyone-
Sorry, but I really haven't been following any of the behind the scenes info at all. Can someone answer a question for me?
I see that while Abrams and Kasdan wrote Episode VII, they don't seem to be involved in the writing of Episodes VIII and IX. Do we know anything about how much interaction Abrams and Kasdan had with Rian Johnson and whoever else is working on VIII and IX? Did they all develop the overarching story arc for the trilogy together, or was the coordination much more loose than that?
For that matter, did Abrams and Kasdan just write what is essentially a standalone movie for Episode VII, put some kind of hook at the end of it, and then say to Johnson "You figure out what happens in the next movie"?

No details, that I am aware off, at least.
I would imagine that Kathleen Kennedy would be the one giving the marching orders as far as overall story and arcs that will be carried forward by Johnson and Episode 8.
Also, even if uncredited I would imagine Abrams would give Johnson plenty of tips. That's pretty common in Hollywood.
I'm pretty sure Abrams is still helping to produce the other movies, and I think Kennedy and others have also said that the broad strokes of the entire sequel trilogy have already been plotted out.
And I'd be very surprised if they hadn't been, especially considering they also have to make sure now that all the books and comics and other things don't overlap or use similar ideas.

TK-102, why aren't your clothes on?
I can never tell which one is mine...
The one with the "kick me" sticker on the back, obviously. xD
I like the Sequel Trilogy-era Biker Scout armor hanging in the back/off to the side. We have yet to see an Episode VII Biker Scout in action and we certainly haven't gotten an action figure of that armor, just a sort of Hasbro concept/Expanded Universe version of a First Order Stormtrooper in black armor. His figure pilots a Speeder Bike design that may or may not be in the actual film itself.
Oh. I always think its the one that says "Blaster proof" with an asterisk and an explanation of limitations and warranty conditions. "Void if shot," etc.
