Total speculation but I'm betting that Episode VII is going to be sort of a passing of the torch and will probably feature the original cast pretty prominently but will also showcase the new cast. The sequels will probably still have the original cast but I bet they focus more on the new cast.
You're probably right there.
Meh I disagree. I think its pretty damn cool they're coming back. I'm getting a lot of positive vibes from Episode VII so far and am actually really stoked to see it, which after a long period of indifference towards the franchise (due in large part to George Lucas' never ending tinkering to fulfill his "artistic vision" or whatever bs he spews) I didn't think I'd find myself saying. I think Abrams has a good grasp on trying to give fans what they want rather than being selfish and serving only himself like Lucas. I think bringing Luke, Han, and Leia back into play to re-start the franchise is a good move. I think they'll mostly be in Episode VII (except possibly Luke) and may still show up in Episodes VIII and IX but not as prominently.
Marion wasn't the problem with that film. George Lucas' influence is all over that film and let's face it as talented as he may have once been he's had a pretty crappy track record for a long time.
What South Park Image?
