On Star Wars Actors

I would certainly be interested to see Harrison Ford, Mark Hamil, and Carrie Fisher involved in Episode VII, but here’s what I really care about.

• I don’t want to see new actors cast as Han/Luke/Leia at the age they were at the end of Return of the Jedi, and obviously the original actors can’t play their old ages. So, I definitely don’t want to see Episode VII start out the morning after Return of the Jedi.
• I don’t want to see a 70 year old Han Solo played by a 70 year old actor that isn’t Harrison Ford. Likewise for Luke/Leia and any other remotely main characters where the original cast member is still alive. So, if Episode VII is to take place at that time either do whatever it takes to get the original cast, or kill the characters in the opening scroll so they don’t need to appear.

In short, if you want to cast new actors into established roles then Episodes VII, VIII, and IX better all fall in a timeline far enough past Return of the Jedi that new actors make sense, but not so far that the original actors are really the correct age.
