Speculation that episodes X to XII will continue the Skywalker story, and people on tf.net complaining. Pasting what i wrote there, here.

The new SW is all about the Skywalker Family tree. The whole "what happens to Anakin's grandchildren" topic.
Kylo the spawn of Leia Skywalker Organa.....and Rey the spawn of Luke Skywalker.
Imo....100% guaranteed....it's about a split in the family tree.....Kylo's side turning dark, and Rey's side turning light. Both branches will forge ahead attached to more dark and light side characters. And even where in Kylo's branch there'll be the odd light side person, and in Rey's side the odd dark side user. A typical family, where there's division and rivalries.
It's inevitable for Disney to kill off Luke, Leia and Han. And most likely, by the end of Ep9, (tho one or the other will get killed in Ep8), they'll both be dead, and a cliff-hanger ending will set up things for X thru to XII with all the new characters in VII, plus the new characters in VIII and IX, to carry the SW torch, and we will ALL be embracing it and eager to follow the story. Even those who say they'll ditch SW if Luke dies.
The writing and the new long-term characters will all be very interesting. There'll be female dark siders. There'll be new Han Solo-like characters. There'll be menacing political types. There'll be untrustworthy groups of people, like the Acolytes and the Church. There'll be new princesses needing to be saved. Etc. A lot of that affection we'll have will come from excellent writing, and hot up-and-coming actors and actresses that we'll fall in love with. Like me and Kylo (in bromance sort of way).
A lot of people are just looking at everything from a small fan pov. But if you were part of the truly great world of Disney, who've made billions of great stories, you'd appreciate more the need to move old actors/characters on, to bring in new ones WHEN taking a universe like SW and aiming to explore and expand it, create thousands more movies, tv shows, books, comics, animation, etc.
That's why I'm most excited about the Anthology series. Disney's chance to move to any point in the massive EU (old or new) and make movies of the thousands of interesting SW characters and not just the Skywalker family. And I'm hoping Disney uses the Anthology series to make more adult-orientated content seeing as so much of SW is geared for children and young adults.
So, the main trilogy series will continue to focus on the Skywalker family, that's its LEGACY. It's reason d'etre.
