To those of you more lore-savvy in the Star Wars franchise, how does this news sound to you?
[i]Oh man, I just noticed Chewie is dead at this point...[/i]

JJ Abrams is doing it. That means for lore savvy people (like myself) that none of the lore will be the same. I mean look at what he did with Star Trek: [spoiler]oh I'm just going to throw Spock back in time so everything changes and I can do what I want.[/spoiler] Part of the reason JJ Abrams went with Star Wars is Disney agreed to let him have more freedom with the plot. Likely, the plot will be very different. Chewie may still be alive and Luke may never have had kids. Maybe he never even met Mara! (yes I'm a Star Wars nerd)
