Things looked far too clean and pristine cgi wise and otherwise in the prequels.

I hope Lucas is bringing back the used universe look. The beat up vehicles, the simpler costumes that look liked they were lived in.

Will we get the canon introduction of the rebellion and the X-wing starfighter, the A-wing ?

Supposedly since there won't be any jedi or sith in this thing, or skywalkers vader or kenobi, what interesting stuff is there to tell in the form of stories. They will be just bounty hunter and rebel stories possibly. Or maybe stormtrooper stories from the empires perspective that would be interesting, but probably too risky for lucas to try.

I thought it would be interesting to see Vader hunt down the remaining jedi, and see Kenobi watch over luke on tatooine and protect him from the distance, and also how he helps keep the location of the twins a secret including leia. But we never got to see kenobi as a general who served bail organa during the clone wars.
