Again, so what? I'm not saying Luke should still be doing backflips and Leia should still be wearing the gold bikini, I'm saying they should be playing Luke and Leia in their fifties. Why is it so bad that they look like they're in their fifties? This idea that the characters should have somehow magically kept their good looks and slim figures, or magically aged as well as Sean Connery is ridiculous. Show them aged and out of shape. Have other, younger characters do the heavy lifting in the action scenes (though aged and out of shape didn't stop them from putting Ian McDiarmid and Christopher Lee into action scenes). There's nothing wrong with seeing the characters aged - in fact, it's a major theme in the series. If the prequels had actually been filmed first, would you have been upset when IV-VI came out that Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen now look like Alec Guinness and Sebastian Shaw?
