Haha, nice edit. I second this.

Not really. The story and execution were just not timeless in the PT as they were in the OT. IMHO...
Also, I don't see how the original actors could have been in the prequels anyways considering it took place before many of their characters existed
We had Chewbacca and the droids. Not that they are big name actors, but still.
The only thing I'm concerned about regarding the original actors returning is that if the movie is bad than it really will piss on my perception of the OT in a way that the prequels never could. I actually enjoyed the prequels on a certain level because I could completely disconnect them from the classics. Not so easy here, once you see old coke nose Princess Leia it may be hard to unsee her.
The alleged "working titles" just leaked do suggest coolness though, not the titles themselves (which are lame) but what they suggest if real.
Harrison Ford and Benedict Cumberbatch are both on Graham Norton right now. When asked about Star Wars, both were very mumbly and deflected the questions. Awesome that they'll probably be facing off in 2 years.

This isn't what everybody's basing the "Ford's holding out" deal on, is it? That sounded like more of a smartass remark (which he's notorious for) than anything serious.
I don't have a problem with older characters returning. It's how they're used... I don't want to see Han and Leia acting like Indy and Marion did in KOTCS and a bunch of stupid "in-jokes". I want them to be true to their characters in the OT.
