6. Old Bad Actors
"Old bad actors." You know, what happens when actors who used to be good turn up in stuff when they're old, and you're glad that they've made the effort and you're happy to see them, but it's a little bit cringeworthy to watch the former legends doing their thing when they've lost it. So although it's nice that Episode VII seems to be embracing a story about Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia and their offspring, it's also slightly nerve-racking to imagine how that's going to come across now that Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford are... well, kind of old. Especially since Mark Hamill looks pretty worn out whenever you see him nowadays - hardly the sort of leading man you'd expect in a 2014 blockbuster (and let's face it, he was never much of an actor anyway). Carrie Fisher has gone actually mad in real life - check her out doing any interview within the past 10 years; something's wrong. And then there's Harrison Ford, who still has star status, but is becoming increasingly wooden and less enthused with every film role. He even had trouble reading two lines on the autocue at the 2014 Oscars - a deer in the headlights. A little harsh? Maybe. But still... it's entirely possible that bringing these guys back in leading roles is going to ruin our memories of them to an even larger degree than Episodes I-III did, 'cause they're actually gonna be in this movie, saying lines and pretending to be those iconic characters we left behind 30 years ago. Sure, there's a chance it could pay off and they could all be great - let's pray for that, in fact. But don't pretend the prospect doesn't make you even a little bit nervous. Especially since J.J. Abrams confirmed Leia's golden bikini will be back. No, just kidding.
