I saw it coming a parsec away knowing that the new trilogy was being based on an outline from GL.

Despite what the EU fanatics have come to believe, George has always maintained that the EU was not his and he was not beholden to it.

George Lucas said:

Once Vader dies, he doesn't come back to life, the Emperor doesn't get cloned and Luke doesn't get married.

Which is fine with me. A lot of the EU is just terrible. I liked the basic outline of Luke rebuilding the Jedi Order post-ROTJ but the execution of it left a lot wanting.

If what we've heard is true in regards to Luke's life after ROTJ in this new trilogy, I gotta say I'm a little disappointed. Why wait so long?

It seems like George might be recycling the original ideas he had for Luke's sister and using them for Luke now. Which leaves me feeling a little apprehensive.
