Ben lived on a backwater desert planet, though, where the healthcare probably isn't all that great, so an exception can be made in his case.
It's the climate. Look what it did to Owen and Beru! ;)
Where were you in '77?

To be honest, I think Episode VII should be set close to a hundred years after ROTJ rather than a mere thirty. After all, shouldn't people who are part of an advanced interstellar civilization have a better quality of life than people in the real world? Shouldn't they age at a slower rate than we would?
So 100 years later it's all the same characters as if it was 30 years later.
Why make the change?
I wonder if Luke will create a new Jedi order or if Jedi will go off on their own upon being knighted.

That's getting into Star Trek TNG territory though. ;)
Going off of that (lame) episode, it seems that people live longer without the benefit of aging slower in the ST Universe, which isn't what I'm proposing for the Sequel Trilogy.

I'm not sure I'm follow you. The storyline wouldn't have to feel like its only thirty years later.
I merely think it's too much to have to explain up front to say a hundred years has gone by. That and our heroes would have too many kids and grandkids to fit in one movie. ;)
Hasn't Dark Horse done the one hundred years later thing already?
Prequels notwithstanding, the amount of time that passed between films seemed to parallel the amount of time we waited for them to come out.

Even 30 years is too much.
真実
I doubt the exact number of years is even going to be talked about. The movie will start in the middle of something big like the original did. Maybe we'll see someone doing Jedi stuff, and in a pause in the action, they pull back their hood, and we see it's Luke, a lot older than we last saw him. That's all that is needed to communicate the passage of time.

If it ain't exactly twenty-four years I ain't gonna see it.
Yeah, Dark Horse did the "one hundred years later thing" already. When Lucas Books decided to close off the NJO era and start the Legacy era, they also decided to do this comic book that jumped ahead a hundred years from where they were in the chronology. Kinda like how TNG started as the TOS movies were still being made. I'm not sure if stories in the "hundred years later" setting are still being written, though.
The only time in either of the trilogies when exact numbers are actually mentioned is AotC, and it made sense because the audience was jumping ten years in just three. Episode VII, on the other hand, will be continuing on from a thirty-two (and a half) year old movie. Whether it's 30 years later or 40, it doesn't need to be brought up in the movie itself.
I think it's a mistake to give us any solid number of years.
All we need to know is.... it's later. No need to be specific.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a bit later on....

Filming has already begun, according to this. Of course, that could simply mean crews out on location shooting background plates or something, not the actual start of principal photography.

Show the bad guys being bad. Don't just label one side "good" and the other "evil".

The answer to a question no one asked. Seriously, go start your own "what I want from this movie" thread.
The sound of one Han clapping.

The title of the thread is asking exactly that question.
The title of this thread has no question in it. Go home, you're drunk.

Anyone else notice the figure given by Alan Horn?
35 years, not the 30 given by Bob Iger.
Like I said, 30 years is the minimum, not the maximum.
There was a story recently (also by THR, I believe) that "sources" are claiming Mayhew will return as Chewbacca. Honestly, I don't know what to believe until a script leaks, and even then ....

And what relevance did your comment have to J. J. Abrams directing Episode VII? The thread isn't titled "What Do You Want to See in Episode VII?", so your comment has nothing to do with the thread title. You have an odd way of posting incomplete ideas that are direct answers to the thread title (except in this case, because what you wrote had nothing to do with it).

It's the director's job to put things in a movie.
Nice to know he reads this thread.

The thread title isn't "What do you want J. J. Abrams to put in Episode VII", so you should have phrased it like this:
darklordoftech should have said:
I hope he shows the bad guys being bad rather than just labeling one side "good" and one side "evil".

I hope there's a darn good reason in the story to go back to that rock.
