It is indeed a sad day. This is worse than when he killed off Vader using Shaw without David Prowe's knowledge. The Naboo celebration scene is also him trying to tie the OT into the PT, when it should be the opposite. What's next, he outright disowns the OT, claims the PT are the films he always wanted to make, just the "technology" wasn't there, then makes IV-VI from scratch with new character, actors, and plot? Heck, he could say the EU isn't cannon any more while he's at it. Where does it end? You now have another plothole at the end of Jedi(the first being Coruscant, a hotbed of Imperial supporters, celebrating the Emperors death, especially since unless you've read the novel like me, you had no freaking clue as to what planet that is.) I'm really surprised he didn't remove Guinness in favor of McGregor. Perhaps he thought fans would be more offended that Obi-Wan gets changed than Anakin Skywalker. BTW, I see no mention of leaked video on TF.N or Jedinet.com.
