Fair point.
I personally enjoy the ROTS battle far more after playing Battlefront II
I'm more of a Galaxy of Heroes guy myself. (I also don't own a gaming system.)

Fair enough
My .02:
I didn't like the ROTS space battle as much as the one in ROTJ. The one in EP III was just the backdrop against which Anakin and Obi-Wan were going after the Chancellor. Except for those two, there were no other characters involved other than a mass of nameless, faceless clones and battle droids. In terms of the larger Clone Wars, nothing was really at stake.
ROTJ was another matter entirely. This was the whole Rebel Alliance betting everything on a desperate plan and a roll of the dice- the kind where you have to roll the hard six or it's game over. Even more so once they realized it was a trap and the bulk of the Imperial fleet was eagerly waiting for them. All the characters were involved, either in space or on the ground. And the visuals, even using models and motion-capture, arguably looked better than the whole CGI extravaganza in EP III.

I wish I could like this multiple times.
They're apparently filming at Cardington Sheds, which is where they shot the Yavin IV base interiors in ANH and RO.

Just about to post this! I have had a crush on that girl for many years.
Oh, and she'd do a great job in Star Wars.
Billy Dee Williams to return as Lando!

That’s exciting! Figured it was happening when somewhere I heard about his diet and exercise routine.
I think it’s a foregone conclusion he’s got “I’m a dead man” stamped on his forehead
Not it isn't.
Nah, he's obviously going to fill in the scoundrel role left by Han just like in ROTJ
I mean, I’m glad BDW is back but with his failing health I just can’t see him playing much of a starring/action role. Then again, they used CGI for Christopher Lee in his duel on ROTSNah, he's obviously going to fill in the scoundrel role left by Han just like in ROTJ

Well, he doesn’t need to be jumping around with a lightsaber or getting into fire fights. Put him in a chair like Ackbar or have him walk with a cane and flying the Falcon one last time and it’s all good. But no. I hope they don’t kill him and with Han and Luke, I felt like it was the logical progression. I don’t see that with Lando. And I would hope with Carrie Fisher’s unfortunate demise and BDW and Tony Daniels being the last of the old guard (unless they bring back Denis Lawson’s Wedge), they would leave them to survive. But if he does go down, I hope he goes down in one hell of a blaze of glory! (Preferably not with Chewie and/or the Falcon.)
