Joe Johnston directing worries me. He is incredibly average. Jurassic Park 3, Captain America, Jumanji, the Wolfman... all average films at best. Even the Rocketeer, despite its cult following, is relatively average. October Sky is hands down his best film.

Luke Skywalker having kids goes completely against the prequels and how they thought of the Jedi. If this is true then Luke is either saying the old rule stunk and he isn't following it or the creators are abandoning the prequels completely.

Not necessarily. Luke was trained in the ways of the force, not necessarily the rules of the old jedi order. It's safe to assume that after the fall of the order, Obi-Wan and Yoda realized that it was time to reconsider the failures of the past, and leave the fate of the jedi up to a new generation.

I just don't see Yoda having told Luke to avoid falling in love, or starting a family. Luke's priority was on overthrowing/converting Vader, same with Yoda. And in all honesty, I refuse to believe that Yoda and Obi-Wan would come back in ghost form to teach Luke more and try to reinforce the rules of the old order. Their appearances as ghosts should be limited to overthrowing the evil that was Vader and Palpatine. After that, Luke should be on his own.

Which is why, although irrelevant to this conversation, I will be severely disappointed in the sequels if they end up bringing back ghosts of Yoda or Obi-Wan. It bordered on lazy writing back then, and IMO will inexcusable if they use it any more.
