If there is a sharp disconnect to appeal to one group it will be as divisive as what George did with the SE and the PT.
I don't think so.
The ways that the OT already doesn't jive with the PT are more likely to continue than not.
What I mean is, Luke isn't asked to become Obi-Wan's padiwan, so Luke has never heard that term, so he isn't likely to use it. Why would he?*
Luke was not instructed to grow a rat tail upon starting his journey to become a Jedi knight, so how would he know of that tradition? Why would he start it again?*
Luke's never heard of midichlorians.*
Luke's never heard of the Jedi Council.*
Luke's never seen two jedi break-dance-fight.*
No one in the OT mentions that stormtroopers were/are clones.*
No one mentions Naboo, Mustachefar, or the Genesis Planet.*
No one mentions the rule of two.*
No one told Luke that Jedi can't get married.*
No one told Luke that the prequels sucked.*
Why would any of that come up in the SWST?
*yet
Obviously in his quest to rebuild the Jedi Order, he would find vast repositories of this information that was once being hidden by the now-defunct Empire.
Hidden or destroyed?
Look, I guess you can say Luke found all of that stuff if you want to.
All I'm saying is- it won't be missed if it's not in there. It's already not in the OT, so it's natural to leave it out of the SWST too. It won't feel like an intentional slight if it's not there- they have every excuse to cut out the crappy bits and still have continuity on their side.
