While being interviewed on the Jimmy Kimmel promoting his new film "Star Trek Into Darkness," director J.J Abrams revealed that he and his fellow writers were having "writer's block" on the new "Star Wars Episode 7" film.
He told Kimmel that he was working with a great writer (Michael Arndt) and they were still figuring out the script. Once Abrams admitted this, Kimmel in a comic skit had audience members dressed as Star Wars characters and give their opinions on what they believed should happen in "Star Wars Episode VII."
One man, dressed in Jedi attire and holding a lightsaber, stated that Abrams should have Luke Skywalker fight with a lightsaber and that Chewbacka and Leia should sleep together. Another audience member dressed up as the iconic bikini Leia and agreed with the Jedi man.
Later Billy Dee Williams who is best known for playing Lando Calrissian appeared and stated that the next Star Wars should be "Nothing but Lando." He added "Two Hours of Lando and making love, sweet Love in the galaxy."
The last to appear was William Shatner and he told Abrams that Captain Kirk from "Star Trek" should appear in the film. Abrams agreed and Shatner continued stating that he also agreed with the other fans on Leia and Chewbacka. He finished by showing an image of Leia and Chewie together.
The appearance of Williams has set off rumors that he may reprise his iconic role but no information on whether he has been approached has been revealed.
"Star wars Episode 7" is currently in pre-production with Abrams attached to direct and set to shoot in the early part of 2014. The production team has recently revealed that they will shoot in UK; Scotland will be one of the major points of interest.
Kathleen Kennedy will produce with Disney set to distribute "Star Wars Episode 7" in 2015.
