I can feel the hate growing within you.
They already tabled the extended/expanded universe. They apparently want to work with a blank slate going forward from episode 6 with a _new_ story.
According to an interview with a Lucasfilm source the new movies will be components of a completely new story so yes they are tossing out the whole expanded universe for these.
New systems can end up this way. It has to do how good the person is at organizing abstracted objects.
Yep. Putting election day on a weekend would be very good.
But look closer, and it is not so easy anymore. For example, too few bother to vote. The politicians could easily fix this, by moving election day on a long weekend and making it mandatory, yet they don't.
I use velcro ties.
Some. Not all.
Touch is great for accessing and consuming content.
Touch is currently horrendous for producing or modifying content.
These are not yet 'unified' avenues of usage as yet.
This kind of cultural change takes time and gradually, it isn't done yet and the on life support phase takes years.

The only losers here are the legacy media platforms: print media, visual arts entertainment and to a lesser degree (because it lost out years ago to visual entertainment) radio.
As long as we live in a society based on competition (games, companies, not just keeping up with the Jones's but exceeding them) there will be a large portion of the population, a market demographic if you will, who will want to leverage to their advantage desktop computers for the advantages they proffer (in business, in recreation, in government) .
It is not as if magically portable devices have technology advances and desktops do not. They both advance simultaneously. So while portable device advance so do desktops.

Specific uses to which one device or another are applied may evolve over time but that is just one facet of a bigger Venn Diagram.
Luthien took on Morgoth if you recall and managed to help squirrel away one of the three Silmarils from his crown.
And Luthien Tinuviel. And the meeting of Luthien and Beren where Beren sees her dancing was based off a real life event between Tolkien and his wife.
No more than stupid than when people skipped Vista. In other words, no.
You might hate it, but you're gonna look really stupid if you don't know how to use Windows 8.
That would be nice if they existed. The infrastructure here is OLD.
