Lucas' biographer has confirmed in interviews that the new story will follow Luke in his 30s and 40s.

Just sayin'.

It did back then when it was written but we also have reports of Carrie and Mark being called to 'the presence' so I imagine that treatment has been adapted to their current age.

Which if you think about makes much more sense than recasting which would be the most stupid thing to happen to Star Wars since Boba Fett's sky-swim.

You forgot to add, "Just sayin'"! Noooooooooooooo, chain broken.

I agree with you and was obviously jesting, but yes it all depends on what the story is. Luke in his 50s? Hamill. Luke in his 30s or early 40s? Probably not Hamill.

But I'm curious why George called Carrie and Mark but not Harrison. Can't remember if he was unavailable or something, which is what I guess. I can see this going one of two ways:

a) Pick up the story with Luke/Leia as primary characters in their late 30s or early 40s. Forgot how old Han would be at that point...

b) Pick up the story with Luke/Leia as secondary characters in their 50s.

Either way I just want to see Billy Dee Williams!
