ForceCast 270: Dawn of the Title Rumors

It's important to revisit iconic aspects of prior Star Wars films in the upcoming trilogy. But at what point do throwbacks become stale? This week we talk about finding that balance between honoring what's come before and creating something fresh. We also discuss title and casting rumors, news about Empire and Rebellion: Razor's Edge, and the status of our predictions for the upcoming films.

*Discussion
**"A New Dawn" sounds like "A New Hope," much like "Revenge of the Sith" sounded like "Return of the Jedi." How much do we want to see of these "throwbacks"? At what point does it become too much or feel stale? This week, we discuss the characters, locations, music, and themes from the existing six films that we want to see in the new movies.
