Magister Pontifex MaximusI fixed the FAIL... I think.
I'm sorry, I tested it on multiple browsers but it only showed up as a FAIL (for me) this morning.
I shall now leave the tent.
I may be some time (something like 15 seconds probably).

What do you do, when you are some time?

Here, "I may be some time" means "I might take awhile".

luckydube,
There is no point in speculative quibbling about the precise comedic tone of E7. But I do hope it is in the spirit of the originals. And of course there will be nostalgia when you see characters decades later. And of course there will be new younger heroes. And of course it shouldn't be LOTR (though I didn't find those films so drainingly serious). What you should do is make a new thread expressing the view that there will be nostalgia, new heroes, light funny moments, and generally Star Warsy...but I would frame it in terms of joking about how old they are.
I'm teasing obviously. I don't see why there is a need to focus on their age as a joking point, especially to warrant a new thread ;] It is possible to put in a light-hearted recognition of where they are in their life stories (like the Yoda quote example) or Han Solo could say "here we go again" (both based in nostalgia and in character with greater meaning than being old). Putting them in situations to make them look silly due to their age would not be appealing.
I really don't think there should be any fear that this will be Star Wars Expendables, as Bingo "joked."
It's good that others are tentatively excited. I just hope there is not a single moment that knocks us out of the story for a cheap laugh. I think it was CP3S who complained about Big Bang Theory laughing at geeks, rather than with them. I disagree, but I don't want Star Wars mocking itself or the audience's expectations. The light-heartedness of the originals wasn't self-mocking.
This is not a lightsaber. Nor a euphemism.

Regarding Harrison I think "Crystal Skull" is probably a template for the way they might handle his age (and hopefully not a template for anything else). Although I've gotta say that there were a few too many "bumbling around" moments for Indy, I preferred that they pretty much had comments about his age come from other characters than him (and then have him kick ass to prove them wrong).
The bumbling qualities of Han were only introduced with ROTJ, which was a bit more lighthearted in that regard, but it's hard to say how much of this should be kept. It's kinda like Marcus Brody turning from a smart-yet-too-old-for-adventure character in Raiders to a bumbling idiot in Crusade... just because it happened, doesn't mean it was the right choice for the character.
Oh boy. I've got my flame suit on for this one but, to me, I see near no difference between Han and Indy.
When we first met both characters, they were shrouded in darkness and dangerous. As the film(s) progressed we saw their true nature come to light.

Mrebo,
I hear you. I know you're joking and I dont think anyone is cursing me out or attacking me. What you're speaking of is more or less the same thing I'm saying.
Perhaps my separate thread was unwarranted. Sorry. I'm a noob and all.

Han probably never read a book in his life. Unless it was...

So Han gets him into reading.
Then another day while he's reading something else he see Leia.
So he approaches her to propose a reading book club.
They discuss it for a while.
So it begins.
And it was Chewbacca whom got Han into reading in the first place!

... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"
