Interesting read if you want to know how the fuck Wookieepedia is reacting to all this:

Yeeesh. Some of these guys are bananas.

I don't mean to be dense (it just comes naturally), but I cannot make sense of the blogosphere\nerdom implosion over this. It's a business decision by Disney. Granted it's one I don't care for**, but it doesn't change the published stories.

I'm learning to not underestimate the sheer obsessive need for stuff to fit together in this little Star Wars bubble. There's no others way to explain how a notion as ludicrous and laughable as pasting an actor from 2005 into a movie from 1983 can fly, anywhere else that would be laughed out the door, but with these guys "it just fits better!," Oh, okay well that makes sense.
