KarlFrom what I could tell, it seems as if the plot of this movie makes almost zero sense and will be so disconnected from the story original trilogies that it will be awful from a Star Wars fan's point of view. I'm very very concerned now.
Have you ever read some of the books? They take the star wars universe and kinda do what ever the fuck they want with it. Is it going to be good? Probably. Is is going to be set after EP6 with all the same characters and shit from the original? Fat chance. IMO its going to be a lot more like the fiction where creative liberties are taken, and who knows might be a good thing.
