I see no actual source in that article? I'll wait for official confirmation.
** Star Wars Episode VII - SPOILERS WITHIN **

Joss Whedon does not have the time, he's basically in charge of everything Marvel at the moment and has other projects he wants to do!
I would say it's certain he'll do a good job. It's whether he can exceed expectations and do a great job though.
The more of the old cast members that are linked with this...the more concerned about it I am.
Because it will be very difficult to do it without it simply being an 'easter egg' for the fans. I think Star Trek is one of the few films I've seen do it right (but I doubt Star Wars is going to use time travel)
I'm just struggling to imagine good story lines (and yes I'm aware of the books) I'd rather they just made a clean break and wrote some stories in one of the richest universes out there with a new set of actors.
But I thought they were using the old cast 
A Revan trilogy would be AMAZING, doubt it will happen though 
I think it's a good idea, I love Clone Wars (well I have a love, hate thing going. It's brilliant at times and a stupid kiddy show at others) but how much further can they go with it?
A series set inbetween two fixed events is stupid anyway, you know exactly who can and can't die and there is barely any character progression. No matter how good Anakin is he's still going to revert to a bratty **** in Episode 3.
I'd rather they did a series in a different time that allowed them much more opportunity to create great storylines and characters (I feel like I'm on a loop here but KOTOR!)

Indeed, it would be like Marvel making an X-men film that follows on from everything that's happened in the comics....it would be crap.
Film audiences won't accept stuff that fans accept in 'wider universe' material.

A lot of it is but it has it's howlers

But what do you do, just retell the same stories they've already told? Fans would just complain at any change from the source material and it's not guaranteed that it would translate well anyway.
Well they are truely Star Wars, just because you say they aren't it doesn't make it so...
Well I don't think you and your mates canon really counts, it's the creator's that count. All the films are obviously canon.
I think Episode 1, 2 and 3 have their strengths and weaknesses just as 4,5 and 6 do. Unfortunately the loudest fans were brought up with 4,5 and 6 and there is a heavy dose of nostalgia that helps mask the shortcomings.

McGregor was excellent as Kenobi, the lightsaber sequences are very impressive. I think the locations of the universe were well realised and the differing position of the Jedi (to what Luke is initially turned into) is well represented. The general story is good (just the poor dialogue that lets it down)
Ok, I'm going to write this very clearly.
Opinion
You can't tell me what I can and can't like, you seem to have got that internet guy thing where you think your opinion is fact and everyone else is wrong
Actually 1 has it's moments 
I like Darth Maul (even if he's better outside Episode 1) and any film with Liam Neeson is improved somewhat!

They've been pretty pants for a while now really.
Congratulations, that's the most ridiculous thing I've seen anyone say about the next films
