Also I have a question.How the fuck do people forget that the Jedi and Sith are real in starwars? They've kind of been responsible for a lot of war, death, and suffering in the galaxy. They even played a significant part in the GCW with Vader being a very visible enforcer of the Empire and Luke being a prominent figure in the rebellion.

Even during the Clone Wars, when there were thousands of Jedi, they were very sparsely used, and were mostly assuming combat roles. Very rarely did the ever interact with citizens, so Jedi were still just rumors and eye-witness accounts for a large portion of the galaxy. In this case, it looks like Rey comes from a pretty isolated world (Jakku), where I'm sure it's just all stories and very little actual evidence of their existence. This is even more severe with the Sith, who most people didn't even know existed because, first, there were only two of them, and second, because they never publicly revealed themselves. There was an episode of the Clone Wars where Maul and his brother go on a raid and ransack a ship, and the survivors, when asked by Obi Wan, asked if they were just "Rogue Jedi." Most civilians have no clue that they even exist.
The Jedi have only been gone from the galaxy for about 40 years at this point. There would be a wealth of evidence supporting their existence on the holonet due to them protecting and serving the republic for thousands of years and being involved in multiple galaxy spanning wars. Especially in the clone wars where you had thousands of them running around waving their jedi dicks in the air like they just don't care.My assumption is that they want to play off of the OT where the history of the Jedi and Sith wasn't really gone into and thus allowed them to remain a somewhat mysterious entity, but the existence of the prequel trilogy ends up causing some major inconsistencies.

The prequels caused a lot of consistency problems for them as well.

Harrison Ford's goofy-looking old-ass face killed it for me.I hate that he's in this movie--just for the sake of nostalgia pandering.

But for the story, considering the monumental nature of both the OT and what VII seems to be doing, it would make sense for them to be involved.
I gueeeessssss.At any rate, I have high hopes for this... female character (name?), and whether she'll be able to top Mad Max for having the strongest female representation of 2015.
