Blame Speielnerd for that. He ruined the film trying to add all these real life social issues into a film about an alien escaping from a derailed train. Retarded. JJ would never that.

Star Wars has been and always will be about the Skywalker legacy. The man who made it up said it himself. To have a entry into the MAIN storyline that doesn't have a Skywalker (or Solo) as a main protagonist would go against what the ENTIRE story is about. It would be like a Saw movie with no Jigsaw, or a Friday the 13th without Jason No.
You can have spin-offs all you want but you can't introduce Star Wars to a new generation of watchers and NOT start with a Main numbered episode...that would be like dropping Clone Wars before Episode 1 came out. You have to reestablish the universe first man.
People saying "I'm done with the Skywalkers" need to brush up on the Expanded Universe. Luke becomes a hard body Jedi Master. The issue is most average fans don't have any idea of the "FUTURE" of Star Wars. We've been stuck in the "PAST" of Star Wars for so long with The Prequels, The Clone Wars and Old Republic and Force Unleashed games that people really lost connection with the E.U. Wookiepedia is your friend people.

What more is left honestly? Luke defeated the empire, blew it all up, Palpatine is dead. The Jedi Order is back and Luke has his Planet Fitness gym for the young ones.
Unless they focus on Ben what more could you possibly do regarding the Skywalkers? Honest question. I don't have as much canon knowledge as some guys but do tell if you have an answer.
Whereas I can agree on reestablishment of the Skywalker era, I'm not entirely sold on trying to continue Skywalker's Saga.
Differences and emphasis on era and saga.
Anakin had more than one kid.......the Solo twins are godbody Jedi...still Skywalker legacy but arent tied down to just Luke...i explained all this in the last topic when the film was announced @Ctdash knows this.
I wonder if holding out for a chance to direct Star Wars was the reason why Affleck said he wasn't interested in the Justice League movie. I think Warner should start throwing cash at dude to try and get him in the director's chair.
