TO BE HONEST WITH YOU WHAT TERRIFIES ME MOST IS THAT THE NEW FILMS MAY TOTALLY TRASH THE EXPANDED UNIVERSE, WHICH I LIKE MUCH MORE THAN THE MOVIES ANYWAY AND ARE PROBABLY THE REASON I'M SUCH A HUGE STAR WARS FAN.
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT EVEN WITH HIM AS CREATIVE CONSULTANT A SOULLESS CORPORATION COULD STILL CHURN OUT A BETTER MOVIE THAN LUCAS ON HIS OWN.
True, they'll be afraid to recast, it will be established characters. God knows they need to keep Yoda relevant for selling Vodafone.
My best hope is that maybe they won't be as completely shit as the three prequels because hopefully Lucas will be kept out of the story writing department.

BUT THEN I READ THAT THEY ARE KEEPING HIM ONBOARD AS A CREATIVE CONSULTANT!

(B) IT'S SETTING A PRECEDENT OF FILMS IN A CONTINUITY-HEAVY PERIOD WHICH WILL BACKFIRE WHEN THEY MAKE EPISODES 10+ (WHICH YES, THEY PLAN TO DO)
(C) LUCAS' ORIGINAL 7 - 9 PLANS WERE APPARENTLY SET FURTHER INTO THE FUTURE.
SO I'M HOPING FOR SOMETHING SET 100 YEARS AFTER EPISODE VI.
