Actually, reports are Harrison Ford is pretty much the lead actor of the new movie. Well, at least until he isn't. But, yes, it looks like both Leia and Luke are going to have minor roles...particularly Luke, although it's implied that Mark Hamill will have a much bigger role in Episode VIII

Episode I trailer was one of the first big ones released online. After downloading it all night we studied it like the freakin Zapruder Film.

I cannot wait. The mystery and build up is great.

Star Wars is back, and we are seeing the return of our favorite characters. My butt is in that seat.

I'm starting to question if Han Solo dies in Episode 7 as it's almost too obvious to the fans especially since Ford has talked about it since ROTJ. I wonder if JJ throws a curveball at us and kills Luke and he is a force ghost in Episode 8 & 9 (much like Obiwan was in the OT).

Or another scenario is that none of the Big 3 die in the Sequel Trilogy, yet still play minor roles throughout the trilogy and are there at the end celebration in Episode 9?

Shannon Nutt

Well, my theory is this - if Luke 'dies', it won't have much of an emotional impact on either the characters or the fans watching the movie, as we all know about Force ghosts. However, if Han dies, he's really dead...he's not coming back for a visit. That could be a huge driving force for the events that happen in the films (and a very emotional moment for fans).

My only hope is that they don't screw it up...so many beloved characters get killed in movies/TV, and so few of them are actually done right. Let Han go out like Spock did...NOT like Kirk or Data did.

With his Katra in Chewbacca?

Andy Serkis is playing:

RichC2

I have very little faith in fully mo'capped characters anymore.

Timber

I have complete faith in Andy Serkis mo'cap characters.


That said I wish he'd get the chance to play more non motion capture characters.

Ranger

Supreme Leader Snoke. Hmm, not bad.

Did the PT have any mo cap characters?

RichC2

Meesa thinks so.

Preterite

Neeson looks mortified.

Shazam

What movie is that from?

Mondo Kane

Blade IV?

Big Boy Laroux

Never realized how buff JarJar was - he should have been able to rip apart some droids!

RichC2

It's from To JarJar Binks, Thanks for everything, Qui-Gon Jinn.

Lord Helmet?

Guys. This motherfucker here. This piece of shit guy? This motherfucker fails to realize that even in mediocre films... Andy Serkis is a fucking god w/ MoCap.

Seriously though... Serkis has yet to fail w/ MoCap roles. He's pretty solid in the NON MoCap roles too. He's just a really good actor. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, while being mostly cliche and mediocre, is as strong as it is cuz of Serkis. He was even better in Dawn of the POTA, that was a pretty good movie too.

I'm sure Serkis will impress as a villain, but I dislike the character's name. It doesn't sound threatening and makes me think of Snooki from Jersey Shore.

RichC2

Naw you're right. I still haven't seen Dawn.

Mabuse

Rise is good, Dawn is awful.

Shannon Nutt

Snoke em' if you got 'em.

I'd like to give the world a Snoke.

That's GOT to be a Lucas name that survived his original idea for the new trilogy.

RichC2

I keep hearing it's pretty decent. I enjoyed Rise but could not get into Dawn, so I haven't actually made it past the 15 minute mark or so.
