Rather than waiting around for JJ Abrams and his crew to leak plot details, we asked some of our favorite science fiction writers to tell us what they'd do with the new Star Wars movie

Latest Book: Lockstep (Tor)
"Episode VII should be called Star Wars: Revolt of the Droids, and be about a slave rebellion by the droids who, after all, appear to be conscious beings but have no rights in either the Republic or the Empire. In this retelling of Spartacus, a battle droid begins removing the restraining bolts from other droids after his own is shot off, and together they form a vast force.
"They are destroyed by New Republic forces in the end, because of internal divisions between those droids that wish to escape from the galaxy and form their own civilization elsewhere, and those who believe that their mission is to free all enslaved sentients in the galaxy. In the course of the rebellion, the existing human and alien characters from the previous movies have to make a moral choice, and since those who were previously the heroes were also unashamed slave-owners, they (meaning Luke, Leia, and Han) side with the New Republic to put down the revolt, while Han and Leia's children side with the droids and end up killed in the end."

Latest Book: Mind's Eye (Paragon)
"In the Terry Brooks novelization of Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the history of the Sith is laid out. An order established thousands of years earlier by a disaffected Jedi who believed the dark side of the force should be fully exploited, the Sith fell to the Jedi because of their inability to play nice with each other, leading to the edict that only one Sith master and one Sith apprentice could exist at a time. But even sequential pairs of Sith were able to create an Empire and bring the Jedi to the brink of extinction. I'd like to see this history described in the film universe as well. And if two Sith at a time can cause such havoc, I'd like to see what an entire organization could do.
"Star Wars 7 could detail the emergence of a dark Jedi who discovered a better way to identify talent just after the events in Star Wars VI, and has now restored the Sith to its roots as an order.
"With respect to characterization, the vast majority of players in the movies were directed to be stiff, bland, and overly formal. What would the first trilogy be without roguish Han Solo and fiery Princess Leia? A bore, even with the great special effects. So I'd like to see more break-the-rules characters with wry senses of humor to counterbalance the Vulcan-like Jedi. After all, every Luke needs a Han, and every Spock needs a Kirk. (I wouldn't normally speak of both iconic universes in a single sentence, but if J.J. can work in both, I figured, what the heck.)"

Latest Book: The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier: Steadfast (Ace)
"I'd have the leaders of the New Republic decide that there wouldn't be any Sith if there weren't any Jedi, and that there shouldn't be any force as powerful as the Jedi running around anyway. The new Jedi are ordered to cease using the force and recruiting new members, and are effectively put under house arrest, including Han, Leia, and Luke. Luke counsels patience and compliance with the Republic even as actions against the Jedi grow more blatant, while Han from the start agitates that they need to do something and that something/someone must be behind the actions of the Republic government. Finally, Han leads a break-out, hot-wires a starship with the help of Chewy, and everyone heads off in various directions to find out what's going on while the forces of the Republic and various mysterious foes pursue them.
"They should write Episode VII first, then think about special effects afterwards, rather than making SFX the driver of the plot. They should focus on the characters, as in A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, and, above all, drop the epic battles in favor of swashbuckling adventure in which the actions of a few bold, smart, and likable heroes (who don't always follow the rules) are highlighted as they battle against incredible odds. (A séance in which the screenwriters attempt to contact the brilliant Empire Strikes Back writer Leigh Brackett for inspiration might be a real good start.)"

Latest Book: The Atlantis Gene
"I would like to see the Jedi face a new threat, perhaps an enemy that could prevent them from using the Force. In both the previous trilogies, we've seen heroes (Anakin and Luke) go from innocent and powerless to powerful Jedis. I think turning the standard arc on its head but retaining the same Jedi transformation story would be interesting.
"Maybe we follow a powerful Jedi who finds himself powerless in the face of a new threat. His belief in the Jedi Code would be tested, and his journey would explore his faith in the Order. The struggle could lead him/her back to the origins of the Order, perhaps to the Deep Core world of Tython or the Eye of Ashlanae on Ossus where he develops a deeper connection to the Force. This evolution of the Force and the Jedi would be the key to defeating the new threat, which could have its roots in the origins of the Sith or the Force Wars."

Latest Book: The Dark Between the Stars (Tor/Doherty)
"Luke Skywalker decides that the way to bring back strength and stability after the fall of the Empire is to train a new group of Jedi Knights, so he sets up a training academy on the jungle moon of Yavin 4 (site of the Rebel base the end of A New Hope), but Luke isn't fully trained himself, and after he gathers his candidates, one of them inevitably slides to the dark side, twisted by the spirit of a long-dead Dark Lord of the Sith. Meanwhile, Han Solo and Chewbacca get shot down in the Millennium Falcon over the spice mines of Kessel, where they are held prisoner, and they escape into a nearby treacherous black hole cluster—which hides a gigantic secret Imperial base that is so isolated they don't even know the war is over.
"Of course, I wrote that story already in my Jedi Academy Trilogy, published by Bantam Books [circa 1994] and approved by Lucasfilm! Alas, Disney has announced they won't be using any of the Expanded Universe materials for the new film."

Latest Book: Existence (Tor)
"I would love to see a reworking of the entire Jedi ethos, returning to the lighter, less genetic-demigod motif of the first two films (A New Hope and Empire). The genetic-demigod "chosen-one" tale thrusts a spear right into the heart of the American dream of the greatness of citizenship, the power of average or above-average people who can win by working together.
"In the first flick, Obi-Wan offers to teach [the Force] to the midichlorian-free Han Solo. I imagine in Episode VII that the new Master of the New Jedi, Luke, has returned to this ethos—that average folks are learning some Force stuff! That kids all over the galaxy attend Jedi Arts studios, the way there are karate studios in most American strip malls. Imagine the different lesson this teaches!
"Also ... are the other races getting peeved at being pushed around by humans? [Will there be] an invasion from another galaxy? The possibilities are endless, now that Star Wars imagination has been released from prison."

Latest Book: Honor of the Dread Remora (Crossroad Press)
"One thing I'd hoped for and am happy we're getting is a sense of continuity. With Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and even Peter Mayhew and Anthony Daniels all returning, we know that we'll get to reunite with Luke, Leia, Han, Chewy, and C-3PO (and presumably R2-D2 as well) and see what's happened to them since the end of Return of the Jedi. I know a lot of fans are hoping the group of younger actors involved will be playing the original heroes' kids, and I think that would be excellent. The novels offer a ton of great source material, and it would be wonderful to see Ben and Jaina and Jacen. Of course I'd love to see the rebirth of the Jedi order, and also more details on the Sith, their background and history and organization."

Latest Book: World of Warcraft: Vol'jin: Shadows of the Horde (Gallery)
"The Sith are back and, as Palpatine had managed before, are convincing folks that problems within the New Republic are the same old problems that made it fall into the Empire in the first place: too much power in the hands of the few and a reliance on the Jedi.
"They can easily point to Luke heading up the Jedi, and Leia being high in the government (if not the leader of the Republic) as proof of this fact. A couple of factions of rogue Jedi under Sith influence could break away from Luke's leadership (in a classic law-versus-justice split) and everything starts to fall apart. This is how the Skywalker/Solo bloodline, because of Vader's joint Jedi/Sith heritage, is able to see through the subterfuge. The newer generation goes off with trusted allies to destroy the Ancient Enemy, while the older heroes remain in the New Republic trying to hold things together and buy the younger kids time to do what they have to do.
"This would mean that the movie would buck the trend of being a thrill ride with popcorn. The Star Wars universe—especially the Expanded Universe parts of it—has been long on creating characters with whom the audience can identify. If the new characters aren't sterile archetypes, but actual characters with personality, Star Wars fans everywhere will rejoice."

Latest Book: Hurricane Fever (Tor)
"I've always wanted to see more of the blue collar and seamy undersides of the Star Wars Universe. The bar scene with its myriad aliens, the motley bounty hunters that show up for Lord Vader, and even the entire dynamic between Han Solo and Lando Calrissian fascinated me. I wanted to see more about the way things really worked, and more people with colorful pasts. More glimpses of the worlds that would continue on working, whether or not the Empire or Rebellion succeeded. I'm hoping to see some plot about Leia trying to lead a new, fairer Republic, while fending off the remains of the old Empire still scattered out there (and whatever devious plans they have to attack from within), and see how Luke rebuilds the Jedi—Jedi who will be a bit more tempered by the realization that they were once wiped out."
