It's a big galaxy.
And it's far, far away!

People have already forgotten the force and the Republic by episode IV. That's less than 20 years since vader went vader. Why would anyone really know the ins and outs of it, unless they were directly involved in it? We don't really know what happens between politicians now, and definitely not what really happens in conflict, so why would random nobodies in the Star Wars universe, where most things happen in different star systems!
I did see an interview with him on another project he's working on, and there was some grumble that Abrams had used none of his ideas on the new film. That's probably why it will be good. Lucas did say he's looking forward to seeing it as a fan, and to be blown away like everyone else.
Linky 1, Linky 2
My bold.
Personally I want to see the Empire start to kick there asses like in the Empire Strikes back![]()
Gerard thats my feelings exactly ^^ just seems odd that major historical events happened within 40 years and yet people dont know about them .. we need solo to tell the story of who the Jedi are etc... its not even been half a century ffs
yeah but they had a whole Jedi council in 1,2,3 then in film IV they've got military commanders in the empire questioning Darth Vader's beliefs (one of them being a bit shocked to be strangled to death from a distance) and people like Luke not knowing much about Jedis/the force etc.. etc..
y
think of all the construction workers they killed blowing up those death stars... its like 9/11 several times over
I just hope there is a good explanation to what Luke, the rebels etc have all been up to and that they don't make all of the previous films meaningless with a reboot type approach.
