It's not like we didn't already have Dooku/Saruman.
I could see it happening, because of his association with Abrams, but this particular rumor from an Australian radio station sounds like malarkey.
I mean, when do Australians ever know anything?
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))Agreed. It's super tiresome at this point.

Noble will play a disgraced Imperial officer who retreated at the Battle of Endor. He forces his son to train, listening to recordings of Palpatine, nonstop for years, giving him no interaction with the outside world, and turning him into the ultimate Sith lord. Finally Noble sends his son to either attack Han and Leia, or infiltrate Luke's Jedi academy. During his mission he meets Luke's niece and while trying to stay undercover he begins to feel attracted to her and it forces him to reconsider his stance to restore the Empire.
If I throw enough of these predictions out there, eventually I'm going to get one right and I'll be able to come back and quote myself and say, "Called it!"

I can live it that, we'll see
Hmm I rather like this idea.
so they've been reading gaf good
This is the best news I've heard yet.
LOL, fucking fail, Sculli. When you post a John Noble pic, you post Walter Bishop, not the LOTR scrub.
Anyways, Noble playing the villain = best SW movie ever confirmed.

I don't know who Walter Bishop is and I don't care to know.
Just realized they were the same person...
Only the defining role of Noble's career and one of the most memorable television characters in the past decade.

John Noble would actually make a great Palpatine if they decided to reboot Star wars instead

Noble's defining role was the police chief, or mob boss (I can't really remember) from LA Noire.
Also, in the second movie, when it looks like Noble's son is going to switch sides, something bad happens and disfigures him, leading bleakly into the third movie.
Just send me the check whenever you feel like, Disney.

Why? Trailers are so just as bad for films as they are good.
Will we be seeing extremely close shots of him eating food then?
Agreed. He was godly as Walter bishop.
It's from Fringe. Watch it love it.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Okay, I'm actually kinda down with your idea.

Outstanding choice.
He'll be guzzling blue milk in the ruins of the Lars Homestead, just to mark his territory.

Just the thought of a new villain in Star Wars gives me wood. We really haven't had that moment in a long time. Even Maul, Sidious, etc, were just extensions of the Palpatine "family" and we all knew it at the time.

Come to think of it, Star Wars could use a villain who hasn't come straight from the Evil Team of Evil mold. Not that I don't love me some Sith.

Exactly. I'd be curious to see a villain with personal motivations, rather than just being an agent of team evil (sith/empire)

Watch this be Palpatine's son, into whom his soul will be transferred.

Surely his defining role was on the Australia soap Home and Away where he played a sleazy doctor.

It's his defining role but you can't remember what it is?
Great choice for sure though.
Don't know if he's been mentioned in this thread yet, not read all 29 pages but one disney regular i wouldn't mind appearing in this trilogy
Johnny Depp
Now, would he be better as a sith or a jedi?
Also considering Gary Oldman was meant to be General Grievous, but couldn't because of the union issue, maybe now he can have a role, preferably on the dark side

Grievous has the most horrible voice... It ruined the character. This character turned into a chump in episode 3

I really hope the new movies only make tiny references to the old trilogy. That would be far more effective than actually bringing back the old cast. I mean geez, have you seen Hamil recently?
I don't want to see Luke Skywalker looking like Yoda in my SW sequel.
New stories, new people, and no fucking midiwhateverthefucktheyweres!

There is no way hamill won't be in it. Disney or even said episode VII will continue the story of the skywalker family.
This comment just made me realise i have grown to dislike Johnny Depp lately. Depp is always Depp, sometimes a bit crazier and louder but pretty much always with that same tone of voice and his latest films all pretty much suck. And i kinda cringe when i think about him playing a sith or jedi.
Could probably pull a drunken jedi ala Sparrow though.

I don't dislike Depp but he is just trying to play Jack Sparrow in every other movie and there way only 1 good Pirates movie anyway.

Depp is shit. He can fuck right off. Dude couldn't play a down to earth character well to save his life. He was a shitty Donnie Brasco.
There I said it.

That's unfortunate because I just heard Johnny Depp is playing the new lead Jedi who falls in love with Han & Leia's daughter (played by Helen Bonham Carter)

Ummm wtf rich coming from a cruise fan. Johnny Depp played straight really good in the 90s.
That guy screams annoying generic blockbuster actor these days. Hell i loved war of the worlds but I couldn't help but thinking a different actor would be better. Him and Depp are on equal typecast footing these days for me

The difference is I don't mind Cruise being Cruise. Because Cruise is awesome. Like Liam Neeson is always Liam Neeson, but he's great too. Depp is boring as fuck as a straight-played character.

Grevious didn't just have a horrible voice. He was a horrible character. Were there really any good characters in the prequels?
Just the thought of that makes my blood boil.

Guess you didn't see attack of the clones? Jango was a major player who talked threw the whole film.
I also don't understand why a character has to talk up a storm to be considered a "character".
