He's lookin' pretty spry. He can probably pull of the brown wizard robe look with a hood no problem.

i have it on good word mark hamil and carrot fisher are getting ripped for this, big time

I hope this is true. I think the big reason they don't look so great is the extra pounds. Harrison Ford is older than both of them and he looks great for his age.

Speaking of which one of the articles I came across said that Harrison Ford is going to have a much larger part than just a cameo. Which I guess makes sense since he's a pretty big name.

Regardless I'm definitly excited as hell to see them all back. Especially Mark Hamil, I really want to see what they do with his character.

correction Kasdan only touched up Empire Strikes Back after Leigh Brackett wrote it, but after Shadows of the Empire/Return of the Jedi I'm not too concerned

What the gently caress?

No I am pretty sure people love to bash Lucas for turning the prequels into something that needed the entire cast to do "practical stunts". Lee's fight scenes were the closest that movie came to neat fights, because he fought like someone who was old but a really experienced magic-laser-sword-fencer, and not like someone glued glow-sticks to Sonic the Hedghehog.
