The thing is, if i wait around to see everything that happens in the new films, i won't even be able to start planning the rest of the saga until 2015 at the earliest. That's hell of a long time to do nothing. I can't even work on ROTJ because there are a few things i want to change. Take the ending, for example. If i manage to pull off the new ending i am planning then what happens if the new film has evens that completely contradict what i have done? Do i scrap everything and have to stay with the original ending? What if i change Hayden's ghost back to Shaw, and he ends up popping up in the new ones as a ghost? What happens if there is something that i have to change in the prequels in order for a new subplot or something like that to work and then the original way is referenced in this new movie?
The Revisited edits were planned long before there was even mention of a new trilogy, so there is no way i am going to scrap everything or put the whole thing on hold until the whole new trilogy is complete, which is what i would have to do if i were to make it so there were no continuity problems between all 3 trilogies.So the new films, along with the EU and any other Star Wars related stuff is going to have any influence on the 6 film Revisited Saga.
I don't think anyone here would want you to wait at all. What I meant was that I hope the new movies, if through nothing else but pure dumb luck, work with the continuity that you are establishing.
Perhaps we should send a work print to JJ Abrams and "demand" he adhere to it? ;-)
