Bah! Ford hated the franchise, so why should HE be the one who gets a stab at re-appearing? I'd rather have him die off-screen and the story set 2000 years after the end of Episode V, away from the Extended Universe (Legacy only goes down to a hundred years) and start fresh!

If they do anything within the established movie chronology this is going to suck hard. The time to make the Thrawn trilogy was immediately after Jedi, which Lucas could have done easily but never did, which I assume is more based on Lucas being more interested in building ILM and the many other component companies of his empire.
I hope this is Star Wars 7 in name only, which seems to be the case from the studio. Time for a new adventure. As much as I like Vader and all that, come on, it was feeling old 10 years ago, maybe more. Harrison ford is in his 70s, do we really want to see that Han Solo, or Leah for that matter? Geriatric womanizing, smuggler-cum-savior Han Solo and his elderly politician wife? No, I didn't think so. It could be re-cast, but it would have to be some Star Trek level casting choices to fill the shoes of these iconic characters.
But, here is a thought, why doesn't everyone cool their heels until something real is put up. This was just announced, and still has no shooting schedule, director, nothing. Barely anything to speculate on.
I'm officially not looking at any more SWE7 news until 2014. This is already way out of hand.
So if they announce that Harrison Ford is going to be in the movie then it's immediately a big spoiler for the plot of the movie?

Everyone, Star Wars fans at least, stop lying to yourselves. You would cum in your pants if we had two or three scenes featuring a grizzled war battered, robot armed and likely eye patched Han "all outta fucks to give" Solo played by Harrison Ford, taking the Falcon on one last suicide mission for the safety of the new republic. Make this happen, whoever.

No. I've seen Geriatric Indiana Jones trying to do action. It wasn't pretty, and I won't have it a second time! Kill him off before the movie even start by setting the movie 2000 years into the future, and I might watch it. What Star Wars need now is a fresh start, not any more pandering to the fanboys.

@NeoRickicker I'm in agreement with this, I'd like to see Star Wars get a fresh start in a new sector, with the past events in the movie series only being referred to as history. No reboot, no forced continuations, just picking up somewhere else, but with lore still in tact.

@GarethPrime @NeoRickicker That way, the line "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" would finally make sense.
That Han Solo picture looks like it's a frame from when he swooped in and saved Luke at the Death Star.
So I guess he flew through a time vortex, had to wait a few decades like that bad guy in the last Star Trek movie, then came out all old and mumbly and shot the Tie fighter.
@mythbri I wondered about that too. I thought it was a pizza based autoimmune disease, because as unlikely as THAT is, its still easier to believe than Rob speaking thug.
Speaking of directing Ep. VII, our please have made it to mainstream, on TheChive random yesterday, they had this:

I'm actually not surprised Ford is 'open' to reprising his role as Han Solo.
It's been apparent he's in it for the money only.

@chart001 It was painful watching him in Crystal Skull - where he was out acted by Shia La Beouf. Can't say it was the script either because even his good lines were delivered with what can only be called apathy.
Shia "You're a professor?"
Ford "part... time."
OUT ACTED BY SHIA LA BEOUF!
@Gallen_Dugall @chart001 And I'd be damned if Harrison Ford is going to ruin my image of Han Solo. I say let him have his Prune Juice and a nap. I want something fresh with my Episode VII, not a money-grubbing, geriatric b-tard.
