IGN has reported some exciting news regarding the latest Star Wars Trilogy, which will commence with the release of Episode VII sometime in 2005 (if we are to believe the rumors). The IGN story (which you can see right here: Episode VII to Focus on Skywalker-Solo Kids) reports that longtime Hollywood insider, Roger Friedman (Showbiz 411), has stated that the new film will focus on the offspring of Han Solo & Leia Skywalker and Luke Skywalker & Mara Jade.
I personally think this is a great direction for the new trilogy of films to take. Hopefully the story will skip past the early years of these character and instead pick up with them in their late teens or, preferably, their early twenties. If this story turns out to be true, you can expect all of Hollywood's hottest young talent to be lining up to get cast in Episode VII.
While only a rumor, this could be an exciting development for the future direction the franchise might be headed in. Some basic information about these kids might be helpful.

| Jaina & Jacen Solo |
The twins born to Han Solo and Leia Skywalker. Following in their Uncle Luke's and Grandfather Anakin's footsteps, they both become powerful Jedi. Ultimately, Jacen turns to the dark side becoming the Sith Lord Darth Caedus. With the aid of Luke (living in exile at the time), Jaina confronts and is forced to kill her brother.
