Came here to post that.

Remember how awful an idea it was to have young Han Solo in ROTS?

Still an awful idea. Let's take away the mystery and allure of more OT characters.

I'll ruffle some feathers with this, but all I'm seeing from Disney is the same things we saw from Lucas. That is, shrinking the SW universe further and not coming up with anything original. Just rehashing old concepts. "Hey, a Han Solo movie with Boba Fett and Jabba the Hutt!" Yea, we got that already... :)

While many were saying, "Disney can't do worse than Lucas," I was quietly thinking, "Actually, they can."

I'm not writing them off completely, but it appears to me that Kennedy and Disney are just doing what Lucas probably dictated.
