The story line was terrible, I talked to friend once and we agreed that it was a mistake. The prequel trilogy ruined the Mystery and magic of the Original Trilogy. You had to imagine what Vader was like as anakin, What The Clone Wars were like, etc. I am not that hardcore of fan that I keep a tally of all the characters but Midichlorians and the whole prophecy of a savior — really? Anyway I hope whoever plays Chewbacca does a good job since Peter Mayhew is deceased. I still have a soft spot for Star Wars but it has become to popular and has been somewhat ruined. Sorry If I rambled on I am a bit of a purist is all.[/quote] Peter Meyhew is still alive and is in fact scheduled to reprise his roll as Chewbacca as are all of the main characters. I remember ditching school as going to Grauman's Chinese theater to see the movie as well as setting some of the characters put their feet in the cement.
