    One of the leaked images shows us two possible sidekicks for the heroes. The little droid and a little alien. What are your guy's thoughts/ theories on them? According to Making Star Wars, another concept piece shows them in the palace with the "Grave Robber" ready for action so we know they'll join the main heroes on their adventures. Who could be voicing them?

    My guess is that Serkis is the voice and mo-cap of the new alien sidekick.
    We may not know the voice of the new droid yet. Or if the new droid even speaks. Could just make sounds like R2.

    This fills me with more fear than anything I have heard thus far. Are R2-D2 and C3PO not sidekicks...?

    Jar Jar in my opinion was one of the worst decisions ever made -please ST do not repeat this!

    I think it depends on how they are played out. I think R2-D2 and C3PO represent the older generation, while these two new characters are the sidekicks of the new generation.

    Those guys are probably all with Han and Leia. Everyone will likely meet up together at some point or another, but it looks like the new sidekicks will accompany the new cast throughout the ST. But who knows? They might add some of the other sidekicks, too, or mix things up.

    The new alien sidekick is the child of JarJar Binks and Queen Julia.

    Huzzah!!!

    I hope you're right, just because it'll make prequel haters angry.

    The third possible sidekick is Montross, depending on the extent of the role and whether or not he is the Max von Sydow character.

    Or they're just some random side characters that have 5 minutes on screen. *shrugs*

    I think it likely that the droids will not get replaced, but there may indeed be an additional robot added to the roster to take advantage of new technologies.

    There will be a new alien companion to replace Chewie, unless they can find someone of Mayhew's height and build that can mimic the performance of Chewbacca perfectly.

    However, even if Chewie remains for the whole trilogy, there will be a new alien sidekick - Lucasfilm will want to "wow!!!" audiences and one way is to outdo previous awe inducing mo-cap characters.

    I doubt any of the original sidekicks will get replaced, but the new ones will most likely stick around. If the the new droid creates a trio of droid sidekicks hopefully his personality is different from R2 and C3P0

    Yes. And since Julia was intelligent, perhaps he'll inherit his mother's speech pattern, but his father's clumsiness.

    I dug the little alien. Couldn't tell much about the droid other than the R2 style dome head, but if it's supposed to be a new sidekick I think I would prefer an entirely different droid design. Some people have said they're getting a medieval or apocalyptic vibe from some of the art, and if this is indeed something they're going for I think it would be cool to see a new droid who looks looks almost ancient compared to R2. I think it could be a really cool progression to go from the sleekness of TPM to the used future of ANH to designs in Episode VII that appear archaic.
