they were suggesting the plots/stories from the books will be the "stories" for 7-9. it will not happen. they make use ideas (like a setting, a character, a planet) but those book stories are not going to be a part of these new movies.

I'm so glad they are looking at original content. This is hte best direction for the film franchise.

I hate that they are calling these 7-9.

Just consider them a new take on them. Maybe that's a stipulation in the contract though. I say I hate that, but I have always said Star Wars and LOTR' are movies that should never be touched/remade. But if Lucas is willing to sell I guess he doesn't care.

Precisely. They might lift a character or two they think is neat, maybe steal a setting, but anyone who thinks the plot is going to follow the books is deluding themselves. It won't.

The audience demanding fealty to the books is quite small. Hell, it might even be numbered in the hundreds. People are simply not going to refuse to watch Episode VII because it contradicts the novels. Very few people care, and the ones who do care will likely see the movie anyway.
