So, maybe some cameos after all...
Many have wondered over time whether an apperance- brief or otherwise- of some Original trilogy people- like Chewie, Tarkin or Mon Mothma- would occur in Ep III. Previously, this sort of thing has been denied by Lucasfilm but now GL seems to be warming to the idea. When asked if cameos would occur he said:
"There are some, if I can fit them in, but I won't say who they are. Some key characters are scheduled to be fit in if I can make it work. They are not so integral to the story--it's really done to say, 'Oh look, there's so-and-so.'"
OOh! So, guesses, anyone? Tarkin, I hope!

I think it would be funny if a younger Han Solo would accidentaly run into Annakin. Just see Han for a second would really tie the star wars trilogy together and make a large universe seem small.
I would love to see Chewie because he doesn't really age much in those 20 years between episodes. And they wouldn't have to put a lot of make-up on Mayhew because all he needs is the suit. And they can make that look younger if need be.
I mean we NEED to see Tarkin and maybe Mon Mothma. Both have important roles in the OT conflict.
Also I will be really dissapointed if we aint gonna see Alderaan.
In AOTC we got OT links through the death star plans, and the Clone Wars(even if it is only mentioned around three times at Obi`s place).

I'd go for seeing those to..the way things are going it seems like they'd fit into the story pretty well..Chewie on the othe hand probably wouldn't be in for anyother purpose than to make fans happy.
I think seeing Chewie would make the most sense in that it wouldn't be uncommon for a wookie to be walking about in say, a spaceport- just like you'd see a Rodian or some some other alien.
Even if somebody doesn't get a cameo, mentioning names from OT in PT are good too.
Like Palpatine can say something like "I've put a Captain Tarkin in charge of that sector......" even if you don't actually SEE him.
It's said a lot in a lot of different places that he's older than the twins by a good few years and its already been said that the twins are at least conceived in episode three so Han will have to have been born.
