Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I would rather see someone else play the part, and have Chewbacca look a little different, than to have a CGI Chewie take me right out of the movie every time he is on screen.

Totally agree, a cgi Chewie would be very jarring.....(Jar-Jarring?)

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
The over all excitment of seeing childhood heroes like Luke and Han again is cool, however they are all in their 60/70 and close to 80's. Not saying they should not be included, however I pray they don't focus the whole film around them. I fear that would cause the pace of the move to slow to a crawl. Just my thoughts.

We've all wrestled with that thought one way or another. But who knows? We may be shortchanging them; they may still be able to run with the best of them! Even though, I think the general consensus is for some involvement from them but not have them be the entire focus...

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
If there's a good story, age doesn't matter. Michael Caine is not an action hero or anything, but he did well with physicality in Harry Brown. Likewise Clint Eastwood is no longer Dirty Harry, but he pulled off some great stuff in Gran Torino.
Mind you, I'm not arguing that the story should be all about Luke/Leia/Han; but that if the story is good, age doesn't matter.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I agree; I definitely don't want to see a CG Chewbacca. That said, if Peter Mayhew isn't able to reprise the role (assuming they want him to) I hope they're able to cast an actor who can mimic Mayhew's body language.
Nice! :thumbsup
Eastwood has always taken care of himself by exercising regularly. It seems Ford does as well, but I don't think the same can be said of Fisher or Hamill. Regardless, if they need to they can use doubles for the more rigorous stuntwork like they did with Ian McDiarmid and Christopher Lee in the Prequel Trilogy movies, so the actors' ages shouldn't be an issue.
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Agreed. Ford definitely has that "old guy that could kick your ass" vibe. :thumbsup
As for Hamill he doesn't have to be kick ass, just old & wise like Obi-Wan.

Based on this and all the other recent comments from GL, the non-denial denial of Bob Iger, I thnk it's safe to say without a doubt EpVII will feature the OT characters, the only question is to what extent.

"A disciple of Emperor Palpatine aims to rebuild the Sith Armies of the Old Republic and destroy the Jedi where the Skywalker children will be thrust into battle and face their inner demons of their Skywalker lineage."

Interesting. Doesn't sound bad. Going to need a really great actor to play the villain. Hope they don't kill him off at the end of episode 7.

It's nice to hear Harrison Ford say he's excited for more Star Wars. It's only been, what, 30+ years since he's had anything positive to say about it. Did he even attend the special edition premiere in '97? In any event, i love HF and I love SW. Can't wait to hear more news.

After seeing Indy 4, I think it's safe to say he will agree to anything.
