Star Wars 7 coming in 2015
Bluesummers:
Given that most applicable actors did play the same characters in the new trilogy (Kenny Baker as R2D2, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Frank Oz as Yoda, Ian McDermid as Palpatine/Sidious, and Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca...I met him once, he is AWESOME!), I see no reason they can't continue the trend. Maybe Mark Hamill can earn some decent income again. And I think Harrison Ford would be nuts not to redeem himself after the atrocity that was Indy IV.

True. Although Lucas likes a bit of dolla himself, hence Episode I re-released in 3D this year.

This is why I say I like the prequels. Ewan is the sole redeeming factor of them, really. Which is why I do actually like II, although again, as I get older I can't help but see Jango Fett as a character there for fan service, that apparently fans hated anyway. (I don't think I've ever met anyone from the elusive die-hard fanbase, myself)
As for the old guys coming back - why? I think it would seem too much like they're trying to play a new film too close to the original trilogy. Saying that, Neemoy in Star Trek was pretty cool. But they had the ability to play with the idea of time travel, something we don't see in Star Wars. Maybe some cameos would suit, but I don't really trust anyone else in the franchise coming back. Seeing C3PO doing stupid crap in the prequels (II, again) was enough for me to hate the idea of dragging certain characters through movie after movie. I think they need a clean break with the next one, but we'll see.
Another reason to be excited: you may be able to play some decent Star Wars videogames again. I've believed for some time that the golden age has passed for SW videogames, and for LucasArts (as a 10 year old I fondly remember Racer, Rouge Squadron and the later Battlefront and Jedi Knight stuff, X-Wing, Republic Commando, etc). Lately its all been Clone Wars this, Kinect that. Force Unleashed II was apparently a rushed mess, and the third instalment was cancelled. I hope next years 1313 is the turning point.
Lines:
Considering Mark Hamill is retiring from voicing the Joker (which is almost as memorable as him being Luke, especially to younger generations), I don't see him coming back for a Star Wars movie. Carrie Fisher might do it for the lols and Harrison Ford may or may not want to. But I don't think they should be the main focus. If they wanted to do it about Leia's and Han's children, then yeah, a cameo would totally work.

He's still acting as well as doing voice work since then. He's going to do voices in the How to Train Your Dragon spin off:

WAT. I was not aware he was behind that mask...wow, I didn't recognize that voice at all. New-found respect (again) for Mr. Hamill.
