I hope the story doesn’t involve time travel, but that the Whills factor into it in some way, even if it’s just at the very end with Artoo giving them the “journal” of everything that happened throughout the saga.

Didn’t Mark Hamill say in an interview back in the early 80’s that George had told him the ending of IX (or at least IX as it existed in George’s head at the time before he basically folded everything into RotJ) and that Mark thought it was “really weird?”

Whether that was the Whills, or the ending I’ve heard BSG ripped off (finding Earth “a long time ago”), or this microbiotic world George mentioned last year, who knows?
