The only actor believable as a young Harrison Ford was River Phoenix. Can't think of anyone today who got the look / charisma to pull it off. I am still praying they go with an unknown so you aren't pulled out of the story.

I don't agree with all the minor points in that, but all the same I wish they'd go in a different direction that origins of some characters that are as well established in the Star Wars universe as Boba Fett and Han Solo (esp Solo, there's a whole lot of potential to fall short and essentially Lucas it all up, regardless of who's directing).
If they want to go the origins route, I wish they'd take some well liked characters that weren't realized as thoroughly in the previous films. Qui-Gon Jinn would be a good candidate. Maybe even Darth Maul. Both felt like they were disposed of before their time by Lucas in the prequels.

Harrison Ford coming back for VII
"Well, it was only a matter of time before this news became a bit more concrete, but, according to El Mayimbe over at Latino Review, who has an exceptional batting average when it comes to his scoop accuracy, the deal is done for Harrison Ford to reprise his role as Han Solo in STAR WARS - EPISODE VII.
This was rather inevitable with Ford commenting that he'd be open to a return back around the time the STAR WARS sale to Disney was announced, complete with those plans for three new films being made in the core saga. For a guy who's tried awfully hard to distance himself from the Original Trilogy over the years to come around like that with willing participation, you knew The Mouse and Lucasfilm were going to make sure they locked up the beloved smuggler for whatever story J.J. Abrams will be kicking off in EPISODE VII. Plus, with rumors of a Han Solo origin story being floated around as one of the ideas for a STAR WARS stand-alone, it only makes sense to get the character fresh in people's minds, particularly younger generations of potential STAR WARS fans, who may not be as familiar with Solo."

im pretty sure there will be no fucking gungans. they shitcanned the re-release of the prequels and lucas is not directing the sequels. lucas may be telling his audience to fuck off, but disney knows everyone hates the fucking gungans so i doubt they go down that road again. if they get harrison ford to be han. can we also get mark hamill? i think hes a pretty cool actor an i bet he would love to be luke again.

Should make a fan edit of A New Hope. Change Alderaan to Naboo.
then add some Gungan corpses to the asteroid field where Alderaan is supposed to be.
Please no. I don't want anymore inserts into the movie as a nudge and a wink to the older movies. Just make a fucking movie. No more placement bullshit.
I can promise you that someone will say "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

No, the fans will, from this second up to 5 seconds before release, when we all have that shining moment of, "Maybe, MAYBE this will be good?" Then we'll be back to "no, no, I've got a bad feeling about this."
wouldn't be the first time Han had to lay low and float away in the trash.
