Star Wars fans know what his return would mean. If Ford returns to play Han Solo, then likely most if not all of the original cast will have parts, as well. It would also seal where the movie would take place, in the Star Wars universe.
Ford's return would mean he'd have to look the part, so with his being seventy, Han Solo could be about that age. Solo was twenty-nine in Episode IV. Canon books have been written to a point about forty-four years after then, putting Solo's age at about seventy-three. It would mean that the new trilogy would be taking place right after that, and so much would be set in stone for what has happened since Episode VI.
Many fans agree the trilogy should focus on the well known characters, even if it takes place so much further down the time line. First problem there would be catching everyone up on what's happened over the last forty years. A lot has changed in the galaxy since the second Death Star was blown up. Only fans who've read enough of the books will be automatically prepared.
Other rumors have that the new trilogy won't be in line with the others, but elsewhere in the Star Wars universe. This would allow for them to be at any time after Episode VI. However, with Disney confirming that there will be at least two non trilogy films maybe they'll stick to the timeline and use other movies to explore the rest of the galaxy far, far away.
