Face_Palm said:Lucasfilm cares about canon. The new actor will take place in the same continuity as Ford?s films.
If they cared about canon, why did they purge every singe item of the EU from canon (even those novels and games which wouldn't have intruded on their sequel series)?
I guarantee you there will be a reboot/remake separate from the present Harrison/SPF/Corey Carrier canon. At the very least, a soft reboot where the YIJC didn't happen while accepting the "broad strokes" of the Harrison films while overlooking (but not explicitly excluding) KOTCS.
