Original Star Wars actors to take center stage in new movie

The silly thing is, JJ's already done this right once, and in almost exactly the same circumstances. If the original actors appear in the new movie to exactly the same extent that Leonard Nimoy appears in the Star Trek reboot, that will be just fine. Any more would be foolish.

I suppose it could work, but I'd like to see newer characters taking the stage. I think it's ridiculous how long the original characters have held the spotlight in the books, even ones that take place when Han and Leia are grandparents. Some of the book descriptions have them running and dodging and rolling just like the movies, but I personally picture it being more like Metal Gear Solid 4 where Snake keeps complaining about his back.

The Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate will finally be settled. ST will win and J.J. Abram will be forgiven for ST: Into Darkness.

All hail Spock!

Maybe they can get William Shatner to make a cameo as the singer at Han & Leia's wedding.

In a flashback, obviously. Otherwise, it would be a terrible idea.

This movie just keeps getting better and better.

Into Darkness wasn't terrible. The lens flare, though, well ... it was terrible. What the hell was he thinking? He's the Michael Bay of lens flare. Bro, you don't wanna be the Michael Bay of anything. Bad move.
