MTV: J.J. Abrams' 'Star Wars 7': What Will It Look Like

[talk show host]

Actually, Hamill has made a good career as a voice actor.

I hope you realize why i find your statement hillarious. He was Luke EFFING Skywalker, arguably the most iconic character in the history of cinema. But since then he's had a "good career as a voice actor."

Thats like saying, "yeah, he was President of the United States, but since then he's had a good career as a Middle School Principal." Get real.

Hammill is fat? Can't remember the last time he was on the big screen, but he's done a ton of animated work, mainly being the voice of The Joker in the Batman animated series/movies.

In all honesty, maybe they don't really need him. Maybe they cn just have the characters pay homage to his legacy or something, years after he was killed by some rogue Sith or something.

I'm pretty sure they wouldnt have Luke killed off screen between movies. the character is too important to the star wars saga to do that. Hamill aside, I could easily see Harrison Ford giving a lackluster effort as Han Solo. I would honestly find the inclusion of Fisher, Hamill, or Ford in the movie "distracting" to say the least, especially if they were only in the movie briefly as a "cameo." I think the best solution would be to recast the roles with new actors.

Still, at this point we're all merely speculating on the story. we know it will center on the skywalker family, but thats it. I would imagine Luke Skywalker would be a central figure in rebuilding the Jedi Order. perhaps he would be the head of the Jedi counsel, like Mace Windu was before. Regardless, its likely the movie will center on Luke and/or Leia's offspring and their Jedi adventures. whatever role Luke/Leia/Han play, it will probably be a supporting role and the story will focus on new characters. THe last thing we want to see is a 70 year old Han solo going on an adventure, Leia blabbering in the Senate, or Luke limping around with his lightsaber.
