JJ Abrams has tweeted a pic from the Episode VII production offices, with the caption "Hi from the workshop! #StarWarsVII".
The best thing about the pic is that JJ is seen hanging out with R2D2, heavily implying that the little droid will feature in the new movie. And where R2 goes, Threepio is sure to follow.
R2D2 is one of only a handful of characters to appear in all six movies (and one of only two to be played by the same actor in each movie), so his appearance would be a wonderful boost to Episode VII.
Whether Kenny Baker would return is debatable, but I'd assume unlikely - the chap is 79 now. And that's not to mention his feud with C-3P0 actor Anthony Daniels, who Baker has vowed not to share a room with ever again.
Star Wars Episode VII is out on December 18th 2015
