Apparently they managed to round up the lenses that were used on the originals for this one to try and get the same feel.

Seems like Disney are not true to the lore of the star wars universe. It's OK for them to take the franchise and run with it (after all they paid for the privilege) but making it in accordance to their own timeline with far too many inconsistencies to what has already been written may turn some hardcore fans off.
There is a timeline that is well documented and they could have made a film that fits well within that. Obviously the script writers skimmed some of the books and didn't learn anything much from the bits they did read.

These films are only taking the other films as canon. The EU isn't considered canon now I believe.

Re: Disney buys Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 due in 2015 & more after...
 

Reading those possible spoilers they have stuck to the lore from the movies. Anything outside them was confirmed as being not cannon.

Also I am sure the story outline was actually created by Lucas or he had some in put in it.

Re: Disney buys Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 due in 2015 & more after...
 

I'm sure I read somewhere that a number of time-lines were written due to there being no real 'official' one as the story wasn't expected to go past Return of the Jedi - is that not the case?

Re: Disney buys Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 due in 2015 & more after...
 

There are different levels of canon in the Star Wars universe, with a fairly well understood order of precedence. I believe the uber-canon is "G" canon, which is anything established personally by Lucas himself.

The problem with respecting extended media as canon is that the standard of storytelling in any shared universe environment can be so variable. Put simply, why should Disney, which needs to make a decent return on their massive investment by making a film a lot of people will actually want to see, respect each and every piece of back-story written into every original Star Wars novel for the last 30 years? Even if all of it was first rate (and it isn't), the risk coule be the creation of a hopelessly complex story that wouldn't appeal to a mass audience.

Re: Disney buys Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 due in 2015 & more after...
 

I'm pretty certain that I read/ heard that Lucas had outlined his story over nine parts.
