Star Wars taps originals Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford plus new faces

Harrison still looks like a champ after 30 years, but the "siblings" will need some work I think.

Sorry but time was not kind to either.

Billy Dee Williams was recently interviewed saying that he's going to be in the new movie.

It all means nothing. JarJar Abrams is in charge and he'll rape Star Wars as horribly as he did Star Trek.

Hamill might be OK if he lost 80 pounds. Fischer, well, I've seen recent interviews and even Joan Rivers' plastic surgeon might balk at that job. Although, she has come a long way recently.

I just have to wonder what happened to the Jedi temple in the absence of Jedis. Is someone sqatting? Will Master Skywalker the newly crowned Galactic Emperor reclaim it?

That and 50% more lens flares than before.

It was torn down to make way for the new Coruscant Wal Mart.

I'm not as pessimitic as Thanos about JJ Abrams direction. But I agree that most of the original cast haven't aged well. There's a reason Hamil and Fisher mostly do VoiceOver work these days.

Mark Hamil and Carrie Fisher are going to fit in well with the new series. In the subsequent movies, the rebel forces are seduced by the Dark Side of Jabba the Hutt's personal training regiment. The rebel forces have spent the last 40 years on Tatooine, gambling on speeder races, snorting Glittersim spice and getting drunk on Bantha milk.

With the Sith long gone, the new movies are about the personal struggles of the Jedi. They highlight the success of the rebels and the perils that come with it.

I'm just looking forward to seeing Solo in action one last time.

The cast is hard at work.

It'll be interesting to see where they take it; especially since the war is over.

They'll have to keep those old fossils frozen in carbonite between shots.

Fascinating. Harrison Ford playing Han Solo again. I just wonder if they're gonna stop him from cutting his own hair with a bowl before they make the movie.

Seriously, what 71 year old gets a High and Tight Military style hair cut, other than Mark Harmon?

Clint Eastwood.
