Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA?

Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

I'm most curious to find out more about all the new characters actually, not that the original heroes fall much lower on the scale.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

Of the original heroes, Luke. Of the new ones, I'm most curious about Rey and Finn. I want to find out if Rey is really a Skywalker (she bears such a resemblance to Carrie Fisher, Natalie Portman, and Pernilla August that I can't help but assume she is), and I want to know if Finn is actually Force sensitive or if he's just wielding that lightsaber out of desperation.

Luke, Han, and Leia. Hands down that's what I will fight the crowds to see, and pay the exorbitant popcorn prices for, when I go to the theater.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

Old characters? Chewie, Luke and the droids.

New characters? Rey. I love Daisy Ridley already and I can't wait to see her in action.

Speaking of characters we can't wait to see, have you guys seen the new international teaser trailer that hit the Internet this morning?

My official answer would of course be Luke.

However, I personally would love to see Jar Jar make an appearance. The sounds of the outraged audiences, internet and world suddenly screaming out in terror would be so totally worth it.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

If I had to pick one, I think I'm most interested in seeing what Carrie Fisher does with Leia. I've seen enough of Ford and even Hamill over the years to have a good sense of where they're likely to go with it, but I don't think I've seen Fisher in a role since 'Jay & Silent Bob' and haven't see her play anything straight (even in interviews) since...damn, I don't know....'The Burbs' maybe?

Mostly I'm curious if she can still do the voice.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

Probably Han and Chewie. Don't really know anything about the new characters.

Han, Luke and Leia for me as well.

Four decades later. Can't believe it.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

All of the original trilogy folk, but especially can't wait to see Han and Chewie back in the saddle on the Falcon.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

I'd say Luke, but I find myself more and more excited to see Leia.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

With Ahsoka being brought back in Rebels and her ultimate fate as yet unwritten it's certainly a possibility that an elderly Ahsoka could appear in one of the new movies. It'd be very interesting to see how a flesh-and-blood actress can pull off the role after more than seven years of Ashley Eckstein voicing and giving such a distinctive personality to the character on both TCW and Rebels.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, 3PO and R2. I wanna see the band back together.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

Thrawn. (Yes, I know. I don't care. Bite me. :D )

YES. I am sooo hoping they work her into the new trilogy somehow.

I'd actually really like to see Thrawn as a secondary, even one-off villain on Rebels.

I mean, he has that art critique shtick, and one of the main characters is a graffiti artist, so like, come on.

Hopefully, they would just actually get Ashley Eckstein for the role. They clearly modeled Ahsoka's face on hers, and she has the right build, too. I've spoken with her face to face before, and it was kind of an odd experience after watching Ahsoka on TCW. :D

Oh, and you're assuming she'd be elderly - but I don't think we know how her species ages, really.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

Togruta may live a lifespan similar to the average human, but then again I'm not sure without resorting to a Wookieepedia search. With the old EU now firmly in the non-canon "Legends" category that would free screenwriters to ignore anything written about her species before the Disney takeover of Lucasfilm.

Who knows, though? Ashley could well reprise the role with or without old age makeup. It would definitely be fun to see.
 
Re: Which Characters Are You Looking Forward to Seeing the Most in TFA

Luke. Leia & Han's story pretty much wrapped up, I couldn't care less about them.

Han still running around as a trader captain at 75 is actually a bit depressing. If they HAD to have him, make him a general or governor or something. What, is he still in debt or something?
