When Disney gives someone $4 billion for their product, they take over deciding how that product is handled. All this blather about Lucas being very involved, consulting, talking to the director and writer, etc, etc is just damage control for the TFNers, who have already decided their world has come to an end.

The ironic thing is that the TFN'ers DON"T want Lucas involved, because that will contradict everything they have fought for in the past 10 years regarding the 'The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker' bullshit.

First, they don't want Lucas involved so if anyone complains about the ST they can point it all at JJ Abrams. But now that Lucas is (involved in some capacity), it will give ammo to the people who bashed Lucas during the PT days.

Second, they don't want Lucas involved so they can call the ST an 'add on' story so Episode 1-6 can stay as the real story. For years and years those morons called out any of us who questioned that Lucas never intended the story to be 'The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker' in 1977. Now with Lucas involved with the ST, it throws the whole 1-6 story out the door, as the story is now 1-9.

I can't tell you how many TFN'ers have posted that they just wont recognize the ST, as they still believe that Lucas isn't involved in it at all. They said the ST is like the EU, it exists, but it won't get into the way of their pretty little 'Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker' story.

It's comical to listen to them rationalize it now, as I keep shoving it in their face that the Saga is now 1-9, and they go crazy! Or better yet I say the saga is Episodes 4,5,6,7,8,9 and the PT doesn't exist! LOL!
