Bad news, Star Wars fans. Those of you who have been holding out hope that Disney may want to further capitalize on a galaxy far, far away by restoring the theatrical cuts of the original Star Wars trilogy are about to be sorely disappointed. Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy has officially confirmed that they have no plans on messing with the cuts and intend to leave the movies the way that George Lucas did when he revisited them in the 90s.
[...] While she revealed that there is no agreement in place to keep the Star Wars cuts as they are, she also made it clear that Lucasfilm isn't planning on messing with them.

They're gonna remake Star Wars IV, V, and VI staring Caitlyn Jenner as princess Leia and Tom Cruise as Luke Skywalker.
I hear Verne Troyer has a good shot at playing Chewbacca

They should use Ron Jeremy, he's a natural for a wookie.

Make him a chick (or chick with a dick!) and have a romantic triangle between Luke, Han, and Leia, perhaps with a threesome, before finally identifying as a lesbian and hooking up with Leia before having Leia force conceive lesbian love children as they slowly remove bad prequel references and homologize with the Expanded Universe content.
Hahaha, won't happen because disney needs to ensure all licensable creative IP is in-house, same reason George ignored the expanded universe/shat all over it with the prequels and including characters who had no reason to be in the prequels.

No as a hedgehog he would be better cast as an ewok.
