7. The Original Trio Is Back, And Clearly Loving It
Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher. They're back! As Han Solo put it, in a line that might as well have been talking about the Star Wars universe: "We're home." The original trio were missing from the prequels, and there were doubts about them returning, Ford in particular. However, they're all back on board, and Han Solo himself - the biggest skeptic in and out of character - has been convinced about the importance of these films, and is sounding incredibly excited to be involved and looks genuinely passionate about it all again. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher have generally been more positive about the idea of further Star Wars films over the years, but still it's great to see that they're back (or at least know they are, since we still haven't seen Luke properly because obviously he's Kylo Ren, right guys? Guys?). All three have seemed really excited by returning to a galaxy far, far away, and that moment when they're all back together on the big screen (because surely it's going to happen, even just briefly) is going to be pure magic.
