ST We Have To Get At Least One Scene Of The Big 3 Together Again Battling It Out...Right??

You forgot Fett and Jabba. Fett is in four films. AotC, ANH, ESB, RotJ. And Jabba is in three films. TPM, ANH, RotJ.

 

Yes, I learned that I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Indiana Jones back in action.

Hopefully VII will give me the same thrill.

Looking forward to seeing plenty of these awesome people come this time next year:

 

If I was making Episode 7, my SW film would've revolved around Luke/Han/Leia having 1 last adventure before passing the torch down to the new generation for 8 & 9, while there characters take the backseat

The Star Wars Saga 1-6 was the rise & fall & redemption of Anakin Skywalker, episodes 4 through 9 should be considered the story of Luke Skywalker, in my opinion.

The main saga should be The Skywalker Saga. I still believe the spotlight should be on Luke. He has a lot of things left to accomplish and if he's relegated to the background, I will be severely disappointed.

Yes, I understand that the search for Luke is the "plot driver", but I hope and pray the pay-off is epic. And I don't want to see a Cyborg Luke. I just see it as an absolute waste.

 

^ This. They already fired one screenwriter because he didn't have enough of the Big 3 in the movie. We'll certainly see them together at least once. I'd bet for one extended sequence in the middle, then they'll get split up again. And then they'll have a final scene with them together staring off at .....something in the distance.

 

The bolded!

Anyway we need to see the OT Big 3 together at least one more time. We saw Anakin/Vader and Obi-Wan interact in 4, we saw Obi-Wan and Yoda interact in 5 and we saw all three of them together at the end of ROTJ. The PT generation had their own roles to play in the OT movies. If Luke and company were in each for movie for like how long Dooku was in ROTS, that would be a major disappointment.

 

Anybody thinking the Big 3 have short cameos in VII haven't been keeping up with what Carrie Fisher has been saying for over a year, or don't know much at all about basic shooting schedules.

People who have small camoes aren't on film shoots for half a year. And it's very unlikely that a major corporation would spend cash on trainers and nutritionists, obligating them to lose lots of weight, for a minute or two of screen time. Those actively hoping that the original Star Wars stars, for whatever bizarre reason, will barely be featured in VII are going to be sorely disappointed.

Nobody is expecting them to be the main leads again, but I think even some of the most diehard fans are going to be surprised at how relevant Luke, Leia and Han are to this new film.

 

I want the original cast to pass on the lightsaber/blaster to the next generation throughout the ST, not just VII, with the new cast largely occupying lead roles. I want them to come into their own by IX before demonstrating their full maturity in X-XII a few years later (3-5 or more).

Just like our parents are often sill present as we enter into adulthood, so too do I wish to see Luke, Leia and the other surviving members, Force ghosts or not, continue to be there in cameo or supporting roles. However, rather than continue to hold their hands, the old cast now treats them as fully mature adults on equal footing.

The transformation is complete.

 

Exactly.

Just as, when watching the saga in chronological order, Obi Wan, Yoda, Anakin and Palpatine (amongst others) all go on to have significant supporting roles in the OT, with the younger leads in the pole position.

That's the way of Star Wars. Which is why it blows my mind that there are fans, right here on this board, who seriously think the OT 3 should barely be involved at all and dropped ASAP. Makes about as much narrative sense as Episode IV-VI featuring almost none of the elder prequel cast.

 

People that don't like the OT characters.

 

Should be shunned and ridiculed.

 

To use a different example what if the characters got the same screen time as Vader? Or Obi-Wan and Yoda? I think those are more likely to be the comparisons people make. When it comes right down to it, Dooku wasn't that important a character. Rather to my disappointment but there you go. The leads who continued into the OT got significantly more screen time than that.

 

PIETT
Ageists. We don't need that scum.

FIRST CONTROLLER
Yes, sir.

 

No one knows her background so maybe you should wait a while before getting all depressed about it? I probably have more affinity with Luke than most here due to my age and quite frankly I trust JJ et al to do this thing right (even if it means that VII is that last we see of Luke Skywalker).

 

Nope.

Most of the people who are saying they don't want to see the Big 3 are ageists who whine about the fact that their heroes are no longer young (or mask it behind "concern" for the unknown next generation).

If this film was being released just 10 years after ROTJ, with Luke and Leia still in their 30s and Han in his 40s, I almost guarantee you many of the anti-OT3ers would have their mouths shut.

 

I am only reacting to rumors, which I hope to god are wrong. If we only see Luke at the end as a cyborg, I will

 

How are you reacting to the latest rumours?

 

It never ceases to amaze me how seriously people around here take any and all rumors. Downright bizarre behavior, getting upset about unsubstantiated rumors surrounding a film we literally know next to nothing about.

 

What else is there to do. JJ gives us nothing to talk about.

 

Personally, I love that. I'm not spoiling myself for VII.

But just because JJ prizes secrecy (as well he should) doesn't explain why so many fans take rumors so damn seriously. Speculation is one thing, but the meltdowns over every laughable rumor, coming from totally unproven sources, is absurd. Even more, supposing a couple of the rumors are true, none of us have any idea of how they'll play out onscreen. It's like some fans just love to be drama queens.

 

I think seeing Luke as the main hero in episode 7 is a pretty sure bet not to happen and I don't have to wait to see the movie before stating my disappointment about it.IF that's being a drama queen then I guess I'm guilty

 

Why did you ever expect to see Luke as the main hero in episode VII?

 

I was hoping to see Luke as the main lead operating out of the Jedi temple supported by the younger cast members as students or allies against whatever threat had arisen.
then the younger cast could be the main focus in episode 8. I knew that probably wasn't going to happen. But I will still be there 12/18/15 no matter what.

 

Funny things, opinions are.

 

Partially I suppose. People that prefer the PT characters.

 

I really believe Luke and Leia will be in VII-IX. Han... I'm calling that his death is the catalyst that sets Daisy's character on her journey. So he either dies in the first 20 minutes or around 90 mins in.
