    Do you think they should appear in EP 7? Which actor would fit better? Caroline from OT or Genevieve from PT as Mon Mothma?

    I feel like Mon Mothma would more than likely be dead by this time, she looked around 55-60 last time we saw her. Ackbar's more than likely dead as well, they were rather old.

    Dunno about Ackbar (although he is an iconic character in the geek subculture) but Mon Mothma would be dead indeed by the time of the ST.

    Well if Ms. Blakiston is still round there, she can make an interesting cameo, though it would feel very un-republican if she's still the head of the government.
    Ackbar would be interesting too.

    Caroline Blackiston is 81; Tim Rose is 57.

    Sad, but probably true.

    If Caroline Blakiston is still alive, there's no reason why Mon Mothma couldn't be.

    I want Ackbar back. Who knows how long his species could live? He might just be hitting his stride at this point in time!

    It's a well kept secret, but Mon Mothma was actually a Sith. She was Darth Plagueis daughter.

    I could care less whether it's Ackbar, but it would be cool to see a few Mon Cals around. IMO Ackbar wasn't rally an important enough character to need to bring back. As others have said, he would most likely be dead anyway.

    As for Mon Mothma? No matter how much political weight she had in the alliance.....she really was a one-scene character with very few lines. Not worth bringing back in any form really.

    Tim Rose is a very nice fellow, I love that he carries that "It's a trap!" Sign with him at photo opportunities...

    I love how people are saying Mon Mothma is most definitely dead when the actress who played her is alive and well... I guess an 81 year old character in a sci fi movie is unthinkable.

    Why not for minor cameos but yeah Mon should not still be running government. Palpatine should have taught us that lifetime appointments are not good.

    I don't want to see too many cameos because they will make the universe seem a lot smaller. But if it makes sense for the plot, go for it.

    Well she was the head of the rebel alliance and most likely, the new Republic. It wouldn't feel too small if she makes appearance.

    Of all the minor characters, I think Ackbar would be the best one to bring back. Make him chancellor.

    I don't need to see either character in the ST. They wouldn't have much to do being retired and in the old folks home.;)

    I'm with rummy on this. Sure, would it be nice for them to make a quick appearance? Yes, but, I don't want Episode VII chock full of random OT and PT characters who aren't central to the plot, and since it's incredibly unlikely that would be the case for Mothma & Ackbar, their exclusion is of no concern.

    Much like Dooku was? Or whatever character Sydow is playing...?? ;)

    It would be funny if Ackbar was back and his only line was 'It's a trap!' or 'It's a tr...' *bang* as he gets blasted!

    I said in another thread. I'd like to see Solo in the Ackbar role.
    So he could lead the rebel attacks

    Why? Has it been clearly established how long people live in the GFFA?
