Nope.

Never going to think about such an evil proposal.

New characters or the same actors.

Hear, hear.

I feel like making it take place many years after ROTJ makes just fine sense; they had a few decades of peace in the New Republic but now some new sinister evil threatens that peace and all the heroes of the New Republic are too old to deal with it, so bring on the next generation of hero.

It'll be a long enough time that the New Republic can be well-established and strong, the New Jedi Order can be established and training students (maybe just now getting to the maturation of the first class), and you can use all the original actors for secondary/cameo roles.

One of the biggest problems with the EU prior to ROTJ was that the New Republic was around for like ten minutes and it was already in another batch of huge wars and beginning to crumble and it devalued the conclusion of the OT. Give us some peace, make it seem like the Rebellion was a success; nothing interesting happens and everything is awesome for 20-30 years, then, suddenly, oh crap! Time to defend the Republic!

That just makes sense to me.

And if one more person blathers on about Nathan Fillion being perfect for Han Solo I swear I will burn the world.
