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.

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.

Yes, you're probably right.

With that being said, I was more interested in a young Han than a young Darth Vader prior to TPM and, after seeing the PT, I'm still more interested.

What I really don't want to see is a standalone movie about one of the PT-only characters. That would truly suck. Hard.

However, I do have to admit that I would enjoy a comedy movie starring Watto...
