Sure, if the 12-year-old is mature enough to play games rated "T" for teens.
The Star Wars: Battlefront series are rated T for teens, so I suppose so, but that depends on their maturity, for everyone has a different level of maturity (for example, this user first saw a rated R movie when she was 14 and it felt like it was PG-13 instead)
If a release date hasn't yet been announced, then probably not. 2010 seems more likely.
The original Star Wars movie came out in 1977.
Yep. Disney is working on it. Immediately after Disney aquired LucasFilm and the rights to Star Wars they announced another trilogy. The First of which, Episode VII is set to release in 2015. Disney has also announced several additional films focusing solely on certain characters. Han Solo and Boba Fett have been confirmed. The new Trilogy is supposed to take place some 20-30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi with Mark Hamil, Carrie Fischer, and Harrsion Ford all set to reprise their roles. The Han Solo Film is supposed to take place somewhere between the events of Episode III and Episode IV, meaning a new Han Solo will need to be cast.
