What if Han Solo AKA Harrison Ford is reading this thread right now?

He is.

Bingo, you can't be both Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford.

Here what about this title? STAR WARS EPISODE VII: Really really old. It would fit the fact that the actors are getting old and here is a good motto to go with it. An epic adventure of escaping the retirement home. So what do you think?

I think you have the wrong thread for that sort of thing.

I was just making fun of the actors age to be in this movie sort of like how the Simpsons was making fun of Star Trek. STAR TREK XII: very tired.

But the ST films explored the characters aging in a beautiful melancholic way. Sometimes it was even quite tragic, McCoys father, Kirk having no kids etc. Hell UC is all about aging.

Not an approach that would work for the fun atmosphere of SW I feel. Just show the OT gang as older, don't make it a running gag JJ for christ sake.

The first photo leak is inevitable.

Dammit!  I'm on the verge of weighing the pros and cons of considering whether or not I should be excited about this film.

;-)

I just want to know if there are going to be Daleks in it.

Dave didn't 'protomatter' much in the final analysis.

He and Saavik were brought in to act as the next generation and to expand the crew much like Xon, Decker and Ilia were going to in Phase II.

As it was they bumped him off and knocked her up.

Other than the finger sex.

Um...David Marcus doesn't count?

I don't mean the movie should be downbeat or melancholy, just that our heroes act with some maturity and experience gained in the thirty years since we last saw them on Endor. And knowing when to let the new characters do the heavy lifting. Luke can still get away with Jedi derring-do though and throwing the old JK rulebook out the window.

I meant long after David (The son he meets for about a week) in ST7 when he suddenly realises Sulu has spent the last twenty-odd years raising a daughter and he's spent the time chasing his youth and is left all alone. Plus that movie has got the heartbreaking scene where Picard realises the same thing when he gets the message that the rest of his family has died in a fire.

That's the kind of deep emotion SW doesn't go to. Not that it doesn't have powerful emotion, it just handles it totally differently and less directly. I can't imagine Han having a scene where he starts crying and has a talk with Ships-Counselor Mothma.

I saw Cowboys VS Aliens and I felt emotional impact when Daniel Craig,s character in the movie was so upset that that alien chick died at the end and Harrison Ford was like " It's okay she is in a better place now"
