I wasn't that big of a SW geek in all honesty. I mean, I'm probably geekier about it than the average person, but I haven't read all the comics and books. But I can certainly see how people who HAVE read all the comics and books are annoyed by the wipe, especially when you now have bullshit like midichlorians as canon and cool shit from the comics/books wiped.

If you look at the title, "the force awakens" and combine it with some of the small leaks we have regarding this "awakening", it becomes clear that there is a great possibility of moving away from the midiclorians as a determining factor for force sensitivity via a monumental shift in the force itself.
The problem with midiclorians, is that George used a cheap and fast way for the Jedi to be able to scientifically identify infants for force-sensitivity, when what he SHOULD have done is have the Jedi investigate on a case-by-case basis as the force manifested itself in the children.
But then you wouldn't have infants in the temple. Which always seemed dumb to me anyway.
He could have had Qui-Gon simply reach out with the force, get a read on Anakin, and then have a 'shit my pants'-moment as he understands just how powerful he could become.
Problem solved.

Pablo also indicated that it's possible that some post Jedi characters will receive new stories in the coming years. I guess the crowd yelled "Thrawn!" and "Mara Jade!" to which Pablo only smiled.

How in the hell could they work Jade in to this? That's supposed to be Luke's wife. And if Luke is pulling Obi-Wan duty on some rock...
Eh, who knows?
Good to hear that they are not messing with TOR.
