Who out of the Big 3 will do diplomacy? The naive farmboy, the blue collar Han or Leia when it's necessary? Discovering new cells, involving different rebel groups and managing their relationships is very important for the Rebeelion.

none of the above. Lando's the guy that can rub elbows with the best of 'em and broker deals ;P

anyway, this is one of my biggest concerns with the ST - whats leia up to? i think there are some opportunities for some interesting storylines and moments with Luke now being her twin.

I'd like to see the diplomat leia - but then also the spunky princess who wasnt afraid to get down and dirty. She is not young and won't be in much action, but it would be great if she tells a few people off and still doesnt take crap after all these years.

But does carrie still have it?

i keep hearing "this is about the new generation, you need to forget about the big 3!! each trilogy has a new generation!!!!!" but there's a huge flaw in that reasoning: you had a bunch of characters that died in the PT - so of course they weren't gonna be in the OT! and the ones that were - vader, yoda, ben, palpatine, had either significant time or were critical roles to the story. So i cant go for this idea of the big 3 being cameos. Sounds like for Han and Luke, that won't be the case. But i want leia to be a part of this as well.
