        I'd rather say as long as they BRING BACK Jason Court.

          I guess it's nice that they are bringing back some of the older characters. Not sure why they would want to. except to attract the nostalgia crowd maybe?

            I'm absolutely sure that's a big factor. But I also think it's to give the new movies a continuity with the old. Just as the OT "featured" characters from the PT as the elder generation, now the Sequel Trilogy will feature OT characters as the elder generation.

              I'm really hoping they go with the "New Jedi Order" series for the movies. Older Luke, Han, and Lea would make sense for it too. Though actors might just be a bit too old, I fear.

                I, alternatively, would prefer if the NJO/Vong stuff was never mentioned again

                  At first I didn't like it, but the story line kinda grew on me. It'd be hard to have an old Trio and not contradict the Expanded Universe if it is set at a later point in time...

                    I'm really hoping it's set 45 ABY or later, so it may potentially be able to fit into the existing EU.

                      That gets my vote. The less reworking of cannon the better.

                        Can someone please explain to me how time works in the SW universe? ABY and BBY have never ceased to confuse me(I tried to figure it out on Wookiepedia but it didn't help).

                          BBY = Before the Battle of Yavin (the Death Star battle in ANH)
                          ABY = After the Battle of Yavin

                          So, 5 BBY = 5 years before ANH. 5 ABY = 5 years after ANH.

                          Currently the earliest EU story is set in 25,793 BBY (25,793 years before ANH), while the latest is set in 138 ABY (138 years after ANH).

                              Thats what I've been hoping for. I don't mind little things being altered but I don't want the entirety of the EU to be erased.

                                I'm kinda hoping they'll show Ben Skywalker finding or at least using Obi-Wan's lightsaber.
