    I didn't see a thread like this anywhere so hopefully it's ok. If anything it could be changed to a "reoccurring characters" thread or something.

    Anyways...

    So as well all know now there's a "good" chance that Tatooine is appearing again in EP7, to what extent who knows though.

    The video/picture revealed today shows a marketplace at this location. Could it be a marketplace in Mos Espa?

    If so, could we see the return of everyone's favorite Toydarian Watto??

    Not only would this be a nice nod to the prequels, but could also make for some interesting dialogue.

    Imagine Luke, or if he has children one of his children approach Watto saying hello, I'm BLANK Skywalker. That would make Watto's eyes light up, and he could tell some story/knowledge about Anakin.

    I adore Watto and wouldn't mind this at all if handled properly.

    I've grown to really like Watto and I think he was a great character. I'd like to see him in the ST. I kinda doubt it though.

    Just as long as he's humming that same catinia tune he did in the podracer game... damnit I want my easter egg references!

    I actually wouldn't be surprised if we see a really old Watto in the background somewhere during that marketplace scene, just as a fun Easter egg for the fans. He'd probably be poor from all the gambling, sitting alone in a chair on the side of a building, like Michael Corleone at the end of Godfather Part 3.

    Dammit. I just made myself sad speculating about Watto's future. What the hell. :(

    I honestly would like if he showed up, but I have my doubts.

    I sense it won't happen, but I if it did. Also if it was done right, I could be on board.

    Unnecessary but I suppose a very small cameo wouldn't hurt...

    First we have to know if toydarians can live that long.

    Watto already looked pretty old in EP1.

    And he paid any gambeling debts to Jabba or other gangsters on time. Failing that often leads to shorter lifespans.



    Even older in EP2...

    Well, maybe his species has long lifespans.

    I wonder if they lose the ability to fly when they're old.

    I love Watto, so I'd be glad to see him again, but they aged him considerably between e1 and e2 - not sure that he's still with us that many years later.

    Watto was the most tastefully done CG character in a Star Wars movie. I wouldn't mind seeing him again.

    I thought he sort of already was having flight problems in e2. He was sitting for much of the time we saw him...

    Wasn't Michael sitting in a chair outside Don Tommasino's? I imagine Watto would be doing much worse than Michael, though I suppose that depends on whether you think Michael's last few years after the opera house or Watto's homelessness were worse from your certain point of view.

    I guess Watto ended up as a songwriter for the Modal Nodes.

    I don't know about Watto specifically, but it would be interesting seeing some more Toydarians, definitely

    That's another thought, Watto seemed very old even by the second movie and that's been half a century. It's more than likely he's died by this time along with many other people from the Prequels and Originals.

    It would be hilarious if people use them as security against Jedi.

    I'd love to see Watto & any other nods to the PT & OT they can tastefully fit in. I'm also holding out hope for Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan's force ghost.
