Everything I've said wouldn't happened has happened . . . but I remain skeptical

 

Luke Skywalker will sacrifice himself to save another, and will perish in the first half of Episode VII.

 

We will once again see the jump to hyperspace from the cockpit of a spaceship. It will likely happen during a flight in the Millenium Falcon and also from the cockpit of whichever ship turns out to be the main hero's fighter (maybe an updated version of an X-wing).
We may or may not see the classic X-wings and TIE fighters but in very small numbers as they will be surviving ships built long before the timeframe of Ep. 7.

 

Hoping to be proven wrong, hoping and praying, but watch as J.J. shoehorns in some unnecessary ham-handed emotionalism in this episode. This kind of direction is made for the Spielbergian Super 8, but for STAR WARS it's out of it's cinematic character.

 

Luke gets killed in the first episode, han and leia do some stuff (and she's a senator or something) and we see the ewoks with senate (or other political) representation as well as a pair of gungan senators (or equivalent political representation postion post).
A B-1 battle droid will be seen, however discreetly, in each of the new episodes (like a rock that could be shaped like its head or something-it will be there!)
Chewie won't die (and if he does, then so does Lando and Lobot)
Lobot will be in the Senate (or the movie hehehe)
The Senate will be coloured green (and also purple at nighttime-hoping the green part doesnt actually happen, but purple could be nice)
A statue of Anakin (before he turned evil) as well as statues of all the other Jedi who died in the Great Purge exist as a memorial somewhere (Ossus?Coruscant?)
The Millenium Falcon explodes. Violently. With lots of blood in it too (blood may be hard to see and relativism could be used here).
