Technically, Coruscant was there before PT.
Well I don't mind seeing some stuff introduced in the prequels (planets, double-bladed lightsabre etc.) but I don't want to see crap like "midichlorians" or "chosen one" and certainly don't want to see any characters from the prequels (for example using Hayden as Anakin's ghost is the stupidest thing I can think of atm).
No one in the ST timeframe should know any more about midichlorians or anything else that's only in the PT than they did in the OT. Luke is the last Jedi after RotJ- where is he going to pick up terms like 'padawan' or 'younglings' if they weren't used around him when he went through his training?
I really hate this but... Yoda would have certainly taught Luke about the midichlorians, we just didn't see it happen. I hate that entire idea, but it is part of Star Wars cannon now, so there's no way Yoda didn't teach Luke about the crap in his blood that allows him to use the force... or whatever it is.
This is the biggest problem as far as I can tell. However, Mr. Baca is sort of a problem no matter how you slice it. Let's assume that in the new continuity that Han and Leia did in face get married (after he lost her to Space Fabio, kidnapped her, gave her a planet, told her that he was a king, and... ) and had kids. They're all settled down, and perhaps grandparents by the time the ST rolls around.
So... Han's roommate from his bachelor years is still hanging around? Doesn't he have his own wife and kids (grandkids)? I mean, it's cool that he and Han are awesome smuggling partners when they're young... but Han gets to settle down and Chewie doesn't?
That and Leia definitely makes Han sell the Falcon after they get married. She doesn't say anything about it right away, but she keeps pointing out how often it breaks down and how costly the repairs are, and oh! aren't those new family cruisers so nice! and Lando bought a new ship, let's go see it, and... well... it's what happened to me anyways.
I love this.
