    I spotted Hondo Onaka In Mazz's castle in the Cantina scene, has anyone else seen him in that scene, I am sure it is him, I spotted Him in my second viewing of the movie today !!!!!!!

    I didn't see him, but that would be great to see ol' Hondo still kicking it 30+ years later. And he was a pirate, so it makes sense.

    I didn't see him but I have to think he'd be getting on in years, even for a Weequay. Are you sure it wasn't just a random Weequay that was dressed like Hondo? Or maybe it was Hondo junior.

    Wouldn't he be a bit too old?

    Not sure if it was in the movie. I believe a lot of flags were replaced in the movie from the trailer. Like the Podracing flags, zero
    the hut, etc.

    i've seen it a bunch of times and scoured that scene in particular for good glimpses of the extras but haven't scoped any familiar races.

    has there ever been any indication on weequay lifespans?

    he is in the band, in the TFA Visual Dictionary by DK he is listed as a different character but who knows, his name is Infrablue Zedbeddy Coglins according to the DK Book but may be it is the same character he might be in hiding under cover with a different name?

    You are correct. Hondo is not there. No Weequays are there. No Gran. No Togruta. No Twilek. No Nikto. No Klattu. No Ithorian. No Quarren. No Pruneface. No Snaggletooth. No Rodian. All new. Although there are a couple that look a little bit like the old species... but they are not! They are new.

    But we'll introduce a brand new species that is on Jakku. Is in the Resistance. And is on the Republic homeworld that gets destroyed. Oh, a brand new species, never before seen on ANY planet. Now all of a sudden have populated everywhere we go.

    In summary, no alien from any of the previous six films. Only Chewie, Ackbar and Nunb can be the returning alien characters.

    But I would have loved it if Hondo was there. (Or any Weequay/established species really)
