My guess is that they're going to film her entirely by jumping out of the bushes when she least expects it, so I guess you guys insulting her looks have a point.

The question whose answer we all may dread, is Jar Jar still alive?

Nope. Jaxxon killed him with a laser blast shot through time.

Well, let's hope he did!

Jar Jar was Vader's top priority during the Jedi Purge.

I remember a really nice animated short, a little while ago, that depicted what happened just before Han & Chewie got to the Mos Eisley Cantina in the first movie. Their cargo was Jar Jar frozen in carbonite.

Nonsense. Jar Jar was crucial in Palpatine's rise to power. He probably got a nice position within the Empire. :)

Jar Jar would make for an interesting Sith lord.

Star Wars without Darth Vader doesn't make sense. I am not familiar with Zahn's Expanded universe but the only way it could work is if Leia turns to the dark side, I do hope J.J Abrams and the screenwriters considers this. Luke would replace Obi wan and Yoda as Jedi trainer and Leia would join the Empire and kill Solo (that would please Harrison Ford I'm sure!). Unlike Anakin who self mutilated his body to join the Emperor, Leia would become a femme fatale using her body to turn the rebels to the dark side... she would be "a great asset" and the franchise could go porno...
These two quotes form Jedi would be the perfect prophecy...
"You have that power too, in time you'll use it as I have, the force is strong in my family: my father has it, I have it... my sister has it"
"If (Luke) will not turn to the dark side than perhaps (Leia) will"
Anyway hope they're preparing a good script...

I that a joke? That would be just plain awful.
Anyway I think the storyline and initial screenplay draft were written long before JJ even came aboard. I just hope the storyline doesn't suck. If the storyline is decent then I think we can actually get an enjoyable film.

Leia has been a role model to many young women over the years. Carrie appeared on the game show Deal or No Deal, (when they did a Star Wars theme) to cheer on a contestant who cited Leia as inspiring her to overcome the hardships in her life.
Leia being tempted by the dark side when things couldn't be worse? Perhaps. Actually turning evil? Not a good idea.

I think Leia turning to the dark side is a perfect idea.
Vader effectively reduced the Jedi down to the same numbers as the Sith (a master and an apprentice).
When Luke came on the scene Vader killed Obi-Wan leaving a master and an apprentice and when Yoda died he killed Palpatine and himself.
This left Luke and Leia (a master and an apprentice).
If Luke stays good Leia must turn bad and continue her habit of choking people.

I just can't imagine Carrie Fisher playing the main villain... it would be laughable. I think her role in the film should be minimal.

The force sensitives are born randomly across the galaxy so there is a plenty of other choices for villains. And why would the main villain even have to be force sensitive?
I don't think the trilogy should have one main villain. I think there should be more (imperial officers, crime lords etc.).

Just because it was in prequels it doesn't mean it is bad. Besides, OT too have more villains. In Hope Tarkin is the main villain. In Empire it is Vader. And in Jedi it is the Emperor.

The Star Wars story is a saga not just a series of random episodes set in the same galaxy.
That would mean further tales would have grow out of what happened in the past.
Leia being Vader's daughter is a plot element introduced in Return Of The Jedi and very little came of it.
She is a politician Force sensitive the last one of those we saw in the saga founded the Empire.
I can see her desperate to hold onto what she fought so hard for tipping over into darkness.
She was tortured by her father, lost her homeworld while he forced her to watch, nearly lost Han so this monster could test a potentially fatal procedure he intended to use on her brother.
Then there is the sibling attraction thing.
The potential for a really screwed up villain is there.
Just having her standing in the background for five minutes would be ridiculous, it would be throwing all that character potential away.

That is all fine in theory but realistically speaking I just don't see Carrie Fisher being capable of delivering this great villain you are talking about.
I think they would be just wasting the whole trilogy potential if they pursued the character potential you are talking about.
And this is supposed to be 30 years after the OT. How could you possibly expect that some torture or some near loss of Han that happened 30 years ago would lead Leia to the dark side.

Star Wars is and dies with Vader. They know this, so be sure that at least in one shot anakin's ghost or vader's suit will show up, or come back in some form.
I just hope they bring up something from the past that would put Luke in a different quest. Pretty good formula, as seen in ESB. He would have to look for this ancient thing from the old republic in Dagobah, The old Jedi temple, Vader's fortress, etc. And he would find some truth in those places, that could have an impact in his persona (for good or bad) and eventually set up a new mision that configures the general plot of the trilogy. Meanwhile Han and Leia have their politics in the new republic, and their issues with the imperial remnant. We see best from PT and OT.
Pretty much like in The Hobbit, where the bad guys don't have a personal problem with Bilbo, having no antagonist for Luke doesn't mean it won't be a good movie. Have him go down a meditative lone path, if he is the oldie he could make for a Gandalf too.

You are actually wrong about that. In sense of narrative structure, character development and focus, even OT and PT are not saga. The OT is a story and PT is a back-story to the OT. Not to mention to what extent the Star Wars universe has grown. It is far more than a saga.

imperialscum you just seem to be unable to accept that people can have different opinions on the matter. If you see it that way then it doesn't mean everyone should see it your way.

But in all the one sheets of SW the largest character depicted....the villain....isn't Tarkin, also the original Palitoy toys.....there was no Tarkin....hmmm

Oh & Bingo, I think making Leia turn to the Dark Side would be worse than if she were now a Jedi.....really the less the original cast play a part in this film the better, I hope their parts are as little as Sir Alec's & Cushing's are in the original film......new Trilogy, new start, I can't imagine Disney considering using the original cast beyond Ep7, (apart from perhaps Hamill) they'll likely be there to bridge the gap.

Well I think you don't need toys and sheets to figure out that Tarkin is the main villain. You just need to watch the film. After all he is the one who orders the destruction of Alderaan and Yavin and orders Leia's execution. But I guess it is up to one's opinion. :)
