6. Someone Must Say "I've Got A Bad Feeling About This."
One of the funnier running gags in Star Wars is how a character or two in each movie utters the phrase, "I've got a bad feeling about this." Whether it's Luke as the Millennium Falcon approaches the Death Star, Han in the trash compactor, or Anakin chained up to a pillar in the arena on Geonosis, this phrase (the exact wording varies) always precedes some calamity befalling the heroes. Just for the giggle factor, Episode VII needs to continue this joke. Now, the phrase in the next movie can be "I have a bad feeling about this", "I got a bad feeling about this," or even, "I have a really bad feeling about this", just as long as some permutation is included. And if a character does say it in Episode VII, expect a cheer from the audience! Also, continuing the joke will allow people watching the new episodes at home (following the home-viewing release) to play drinking games using the rules for the preceding films, which would save a lot of time. You know the type of game - "Whenever you hear that phrase, take a shot!"
