30 years leading the Resistance, she looks more like a General than Royalty,  I can see that happening

 The only time we see her looking like Royalty is in Star Wars where she's trying to pass as an innocent princess and not a member of the Rebellion.
The dress and accent were a ruse to hide the fact that she's on an important military mission.
In all the other films she's dressed battle ready. (with the exception of the gown she puts on to blend in at Cloud City, the slave outfit Jabba puts her in and that stupid dress the Ewoks happened to have laying around...)

It wasn't quite a ruse. She probably dressed and spoke that way as member of the senate all the time.

True, but even then the posh act and dress are disguising the fact that she's much more involved the Rebel military. The only time she uses that accent is when trying to fool Vader and Tarkin. We never see her addressing the senate, but we do see her directly involved with delivering stolen plans, viewing battle schematics, briefing fighter pilots on the details of a mission, helping lead an evacuation, a rescue mission and an attack group against an Imperial base and prove that she's handy with a gun.
Seems she's much more involved with the military side of things than the politics and she's certainly depicted as a fighter more so than a princess.
So, back to the point, the new rebel troop-esque costume seems appropriate, where as her in a royal gown looking like a Queen would not.

She looked really hot in the medal ceremony.

FTFY ;)

in before joke about "black east"

 One does not simply joke about Mordor.

This image makes Carrie look significantly older than 58, unfortunately.

I'm not saying she looks bad, but I am saying that this leak makes her look worse than she does.

 It seems that age has hit all the returning actors pretty hard, and Carrie definitely looks older than 58 in that image. 

 Look at ol' Sheev in RotJ. The Dark Side* is known to age its practitioners, isn't it?

...or has that rumor been quashed yet?

*"The Dark Side's" real-life equivalent in this case being, of course, lots n' lots of cocaine.

Marvel set to release a TFA prequel that takes place shortly after the battle of Endor.

Well, I guess this does tell us that Chewie still weirdly off?

The eyes look more normal in other promo shots.

 Got any pics or links?
He looks weird in the trailer and in every promo shot I've seen.

Looks like Ackbar and Nien Nunb are in TFA

http://www.starwars7news.com/2015/06/exclusive-first-look-at-three-characters-from-the-force-awakens.html

With all this talk of Serkis' and Nyongo's CG characters it so great to see that these two will make another movie appearance. 

I can get why Ackbar is in TFA, but it will be interesting to see why Nien Nunb is in it. Maybe he's become a general by now or something.

Wow, they really did a good job making Nunb look older. I'm impressed.
