"Star Wars" news just keeps getting better: Not long after Joss Whedon was tapped as its director, Mark Hamill has revealed that he and some of the original "Star Wars" cast members are in talks to appear in Disney's upcoming trilogy. Hamill told ET of the spin-off, "It's all very, very exciting and so unexpected." He explained: "George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested. He did say that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts – they would write us out."

But no one has signed contracts, yet, according to Hamill. "We're in the stage where they want us to go in and meet with Michael Arndt, who is the writer, and Kathleen Kennedy, who is going to run Lucasfilm."
