It's called Star Wars not Star Tea-dance. It can't and shouldn't be a 'feel good' movie though it could have upbeat moments (just hopefully not so many goofy slapstick comedy moments).

 

 

I'm not talking slap stick per se but I do think it will very much have that same feel in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls movie where Indy, at every step, begins to realize he is just getting too old.

There will be action and there will be comedy and depending on how much of each they use, it could be really good and it could be really bad.

I expect this movie (Ep 7 only) to serve two purposes:

1.Service the fans who miss the characters even if they're old.

2.Ween the fans off those characters and onto new ones by playing the 'they're just too old' card.  

Anyone who hasnt paid attention wouldn't realize how much of the comic element there is in the films.  The whole notion of "out of the fryer and into the frying pan" is going to be played out with a crew of geriatrics.  Why do you think they're being asked to get into shape...to watch them sit on their duffs and give counsel?

 

In fact something tells me the old cast will be in some way directly though inadvertently responsible for the perils the younger cast will face.
