What do you expect for the new SW movies?

Will we see the millenium falcon again? Who will be the bad guy?

The bad guys will almost certainly be the last few remnants of the Empire. The Sith are totally destroyed, if not completely. Likewise the Jedi are, but in the Expanded Universe Luke was getting ready to rebuild the Jedi order, etc. Introducing a completely new enemy would be very difficult in the Star Wars world, almost the entire universe is mapped out by this point, there's almost no way to pull off a new threat worthy of a full trilogy's attention without it seeming cheesy or just off. That being said, I'm wondering what kind of foe could warrant a full trilogy of movies. The Empire is all but gone, the Rebels practically control the entire universe by this point, and I doubt that hunting down the last resisting fragments of the Empire, while still very strong, would be a main plot point for a movie. It would be like a Lord of The Rings movie that covered killing the remaining orcs and retaking Mordor and "purifying" it. It wouldn't attract much attention save for the fact it would have "BASED ON TOLKIEN'S WRITINGS" in gigantic bold print all over it. It would be a success just because of the brand, but it would be a complete flop in the end.

Not much, considering they are still allowing Lucas to interfere with the making of it. Based on the time it is set shouldn't it be the Vuzhan Vong (Spelling?) as the enemies? No doubt they will not stick to the canon and just stick in Darth Vader reincarnated and a new type of stormtrooper.

I also expect a lot of overdone, terrible looking special effects, with a nice, clean, Flash Gordon style galaxy, instead of the cool looking used galaxy of the original trilogy. And looking at the casting call they had, I worry we will get a main cast, with a lot of under par talent like the SHIELD television show.

I am, however, interested to see how they fit Han, Leia and Luke into the story. As minor supporting characters they might actually work well e.g. 5 minute cameos and no action sequences.

I also hope they keep the number of lightsabers to a minimum, and any duels should not try and be Darth Maulesque (it was cool the first time, but the ridiculous saber action gets kind of repetitive after a while). Jedi are far cooler when they are mystical beings like Obi-Wan and Vader, not common, every day sightings like Obi-Wan and Anakin.

Or only hope (see what I did there) is that Disney do what they did with the Marvel franchise, and actually get the formula right. Captain America, Iron Man and the Avengers all turned out pretty well (Captain and Iron Man in particular), so there is still some hope that these movies can be an improvement over Episodes I and II (and to a lesser extent III - it was ok in parts).
