Is it more than a little weird the way nobody is really acknowledging that George Lucas said, flat out, that the original 3 are in the movie. How long ago was that? Is he just losing his marbles? What is the P.R. advantage of ignoring and or contradicting that, unless something weird is going on.

It's the silly games studios and P.R. departments play all the time. They want a big event with lots of reporters and cameras when they make what we already know "official".

I actually hope George will keep stealing their thunder. ;)
