NDAs for Episodes 7,8,9

TheForce.net readers read it last week. I wasn't going to say anything, but the Trivia Geek asked me to post something after we saw Fark.com pick up the story.

It appears that George Lucas asked all ILM employees to sign NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) regarding any discussion pertaining to Episodes 7, 8, and 9. The first question that popped into my head was, "Why have them sign anything if there aren't going to be talking about this?!?"

Tantalizing, yes. But the full story lacks any detail:

If this is true, what would the story be? My first pick would be Timothy Zahn's trilogy (Admiral Thrawn, Mara Jade, blah blah blah). It's a no-brainer in my book. However, convincing Mr. Harrison Ford to reprise his role as Han Solo would be as monumental a task as convincing George Lucas to have nothing to do with the whole thing ;)

I would almost hate to see the New Jedi Order storyline. I'm not a big fan of that mess. And again, we would have the problem with Mr. Ford.

Fellow SW geeks, thoughts?
