Speculation Is Carrie ready to come back?

Agree, she will not be asked to carry the movie. She will be fine.

 

I'm not too worried for Carrie since I doubt she'll have a major role. Just let her be all crazy supporting and I'll be happy. *because dammit we need crazy Carrie*

 

Ms Fisher and the rest of the gang will be just fine.

This thread is lacking in pics like these:

 

Those were the days.

 

Now that truly is the question. Here its been pretty much "Is she a jedi or is she just a senator/whatever political role". Ooh the questions that we might not ever get answers to *till 2015 that is*

 

What I think they might do is not fully confirm it till episode 8. Maybe in episode 7 give little subtle hints that she might be a jedi *like references something or whatever. Something to make the fans talk* and then have a reveal later *like maybe she admits she is and trains her daughter/son or does something with the force*

 

Ok maybe not yoda like *dont want her jumping around* but maybe something like "our hero is in trouble and about to be killed so she gets in front of him and uses a force push/whatever to save them". Audiences get happy and fanboys cheer. I also kinda hope Star Wars starts doing what Marvel does with "easter eggs" (minor little hints/nudges to fans that aren't supposed to be taken seriously but are just nods to fans. Like the doctor strange reference in Spider Man 2. SW references *specifically from the EU* could definitly please fansboys and have us go on little "easter egg hunts". Not like "In your face" references but subtle things that only fans will recognise. Ohh the possibilities! )

 

Haha that would be fun to watch *for some reason I see her being more of a force user but thats just me*. I can also see her pulling a "Ripley/Molly Weasley". Aka somebody threatens her child so she goes all:

*I remember that scene got a round of applause when I saw it. I kinda expect the same from Leia's scene*
IDKY but I just kinda see the Skywalkers as being the most overprotective parents in the entire galaxy.

 

For the record, I am a huge fan of Carrie. I love the way she carved out a career for herself as a writer. I love her intelligence, humor and her outspokenness. Having said that, when I saw the recent clip of Carrie on Craig Ferguson, I thought she seemed a little spastic and "off." So now with this new information, I'm a little concerned. Hopefully it's nothing. I know very little about manic-depression, but certainly it could be related to that. Maybe stress is affecting her, too.

As others have said, as long as her role in the new film is not too large or demanding (which I don't think it will be) she should be fine. Even if she's spastic on set, getting a good performance out of her will be Abrams' headache, not ours.

I would really hate for Han to be a widower in the new film.

 

Totally. I'd be full supportive of a scene like that. *and yes I cheered too. I also got teary eyed when Harry was talking to Dumbledore in the ghost train station. Wouldn't mind a sad scene like that in the ST trilogy either. Like the main hero is dying and sees force ghost Luke who tells him/her that he has to survive cause the universe still needs saving. Something to make us cry!*

 

I want to cry more in the ST *and since this is Arndt we might get that*. And yes I do wonder what the afterlife of the force is like. Soo many questions *that JJ will probably never answer. Its all an island at a church *

 

Thats just what he does. He likes to watch us suffer. He's Darth Secrecy.

 

Oh please of please!! Make me cry!!

 

Yes I need tears and moments that I can turn into beautiful angst fan fiction because I need reasons to read more Star Wars fan fiction!

 

Considering that Arndt is writing this, and that at least one of the Big Three characters will likely buy the farm before the film is over (perhaps even two main characters will die) I think tears are almost a guarantee. Children watching their parents die, and/or scenes of parents having to "let go" of their children so they can grow up and come into their own destinies. Not to mention the husband-wife, brother-sister, or friendship bonds that might be broken. Lots of opportunities for Arndt to pull at our heartstrings. And he is skilled enough to really hit it out of the park if he wants to.

There should be tears aplenty.

 

Yeah and combining Arndt and JJ "Makes you cry in the first 10 minutes of Star Trek" Abrams. If all goes well, there will be water works. .....or should I say

 

hopefully they cast charlie sheen too and then, at the end of the movie, when they blow up another death star, charlie and carrie can both look right into the camera and say "WINNING!!!" whilst winking and giving a triumphant thumbs-up.

 

Exactly! Episode 7 should has the potential for some powerful scenes and major water works. And that's aside from our nerd tears of happiness at seeing these characters again.

And for the record, I really love that scene of Harry in the train station as well. But my favorite scene, the one that makes me cry every time, is this:

Dumbledore: Lily...after all this time?
Snape: Always.
