I don't want to welcome back beloved characters only to see them die. Kirk's death in Generations didn't make McDowall's villain more memorable.

Yeah, that's true.
R2D2 was the constant element of 6 episodes and 2 versions of clone wars. C3PO too. Lucas said the droids were unlucky.
I don't know if Artoo avoided the TRotS mind wipe, but I kind of think he did, so R2D2 would be the character to know the whole story, if Ep. IX is the last Skywalker/Solo story, R2D2 might be destroyed so that there just isn't a record of events of what the main characters do during their retirement. R2D2 is no more, the main biological characters live on, we just never know any more of their stories.
I want to know how they lived, not how they died.

Good old Chewbacca! Nice photo.

I still don't know if the hardcore element of a villain can be represented by a hero kill.
Maybe if the baddie kills Luke, but even then it only shows hatred is more powerful. -but what happened to Yoda's teaching and wisdom. Darth Vader even had a hard time with old Ben, Vader having machine enhanced suit, and Obi-Wan sacrificed himself.
That is an example of a strong Jedi.
To represent a Jedi weakness, about six organized Clone Troopers can defeat a Jedi.
So, killing Luke is easy, not something that shows power, the real power is the idea and ideal of living as part of The Light Side of The Force.
Killing Han is easy too, the Empire could have killed him in Cloud City or inside Jabba's Palace at any time. Boba Fett, later on in ESB could have ejected Han in Carbonite in space, then used it as target practice with the Slave 1's laser cannons.
Han is simply not that important to his enemies.
Fett just wanted the bounty, and Han was a joke to Jabba.
Vader wanted Luke. Palpatine might have killed Luke, but Vader talked him out of it knowing The Emperor always wanted more power.
What really would have helped The Emperor would have been to destroy more Rebel spaceships, rather than make a statement with the genocide of Alderaan's people (which asks of the good left in Vader, he went with it instead of killing Grand Moff Tarkin, what good?/redemption how?) and the attempted destruction of Yavin along with it's hidden Rebel Base.
Killing individuals just don't add up, they are only part of a larger ride and historical event in one galaxy, far, far away.

It's not confirmed if that'll be the same Chewbacca costume for the new movie.I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.Comment

If not, it should be. It looks better than the one in Revenge of the Sith.Comment

Ain't it cool is claiming the working subtitle of SW7 is The Ancient Fear. Not terrible, if true, but I'd take it with a huge grain of salt.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

If true, I like it. It fits in well with the other 6 titles.
And it kind of has a nice resonance with "A New Hope".

It might be okay for the title, but it will probably be changed five times before 2015.
Episode VII is going to be a new hope for the fans. Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!
So...., who's going to go to the theater and pay for a non related movie just to see
Star Wars: Episode VII's first trailer?Comment
