I think it would be cheesy and a terrible idea and therefore something Disney would probably consider. They are 61 and 70 respectively. And you are going to have them reprise roles they played 30 years ago? A 50-year old actor could pull off playing a character that is suppose to be in their 40's, not a 60--year old going a 40's character.

Now if you want to give them a cameo as some other role, perhaps. But with such things you are always walking a thin line of having such an appearance productive and beneficial to the movie, or the negative of having somebody in it just to have somebody in it.

Well, think about Hamil reprising his role to the point of Mace Windu. He's not in it much but plays a pivotal role.

Possible but seems like it could be forced.

as for the 'darker' side of things, kind of agree. Empire has always been my favorite. And in movies in general, if the good guy doesn't have to win and tragedy can be portrayed, sometimes those are the best stories.

The Star Wars universe is awesome, but I feel that the movies were good because they occurred at the perfect moment in time in the history of films.

I just don't think that can be recreated. The focus on special effects and cuteness overshadow the real appeal to Star Wars which was always the mythology and allegory.

The expansion of the universe, which is what every original Star Wars fan thought they wanted (what happened in the clone wars (episodes 1-3), what happened after the empire fell (episodes 7-9?) doesn't make for as singular of a movie experience and I feel like might be better handled with a high end television series. That way they can take their time and develop deep storylines.

Just my 2 cents.

You're probably right, but the thing is, I have hope. It's all I have.

The animated Clone Wars series is a well done show. My boys like it, and it is tolerable as an adult.

Of course it would be badass. They could come out of "retirement" to kick ass. Only minor problem is that Mark is a shitty actor :shrug:

I'd like to see a son of Yoda or Chewbacca as well. Maybe Han and Leia's son could be introduced? So many possibilities.

I would love to see a movie showing Vader tracking down and killing the remaining Jedi. That won't happen right away though. I think 7, 8, 9 could be awesome. Children of the original characters, and yes, Chewbacca does have a son.

I can't buy the original actors in this unless they are voice acting in an Avatar-level CGI situation. Many would balk at that though.

I would also love to see a movie showing Yoda's history. Again, that is probably decades away. I am optimistic about the possibilities.

Hamil as a 60yo sky walker would be fine, but trying to make him a 30yo would be silly, as indicated by poon.
