^ Yeah that would work just fine with Luke. End of the day we jumped a generation and used a different actor for Obi-Wan. Yes they had to, but still point is it works when you watch them together.
But they're clearly going to use that Old Fart Hamill so I might as well stop hoping for a better actor.
Maybe they can break out he motion trackers and photoreal CGI a pre-cookie dough version of Hamill in..he is a master voiceover artist and could do the voice to match perfectly, no doubt.
Or maybe the Force makes you put on weight...!
Who knew that 'Midichloreans' were just a fancy SW galaxy name for 'Calories'.
Maybe the light side make you put it on (Luke did fill out between Eps IV and VI...) The darkside does the opposite (Weighty emporer in Ep III looked much less so in VI)

Better idea.. Have a new guy play an Older Luke with a big beard to hide the fact that he probably looks nothing like Hammil! Yeah.. Re-Cast!
Better idea - no beard, Hamill keeps the weight, shaves his head and does a whole homage to Marlon Brando's Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now, wearing a big flowing robe and being shot in the shadows, from the base he made for his Jedi followers in the jungles of Yavin 4.

lets maybe just for a second put han and leia aside and address the issue we've been avoidingmark hammil needs to lose some serious weight or he's going to look far more pathetic than even william shatner in star trek generations.
The weight is easily explained. Who needs to get off the couch for a beer when you have to force to do it for you? Need a bag of Chips? No problem. You can move more then just rocks with the force.

Judge me by my girth, do you...The Force flows through all things, and he has a LOT of Force flowing through him, is all.

*In best General Grevious voice*
This Jedilaziness together with the midichloreans=calories thing means that he must realise that his waistline measurements are doomed.
Knowing the standard length of time it takes to film & complete a Star Wars movie in post - each movie has taken anywhere between 18-22 months - means that to make their standard release date in Summer 2015 (the usual May slot?), they have to start shooting by this time next year.
Bang out that script, get the older actors in shape, get all the sets ready for a year from now!
