You are not a moral man. There are not enough middle fingers in the world for you.
Actually, Santa just didn't like you. However, you weren't on the Naughty List, so he had to give you something "better" than coal.

First, an experience from a game I played in a few years back. Our DM didn't like 3.5 as a whole but liked parts of it. So he hands us a big ass rules packet for his modified FR campaign, complete with quotes from important NPC's on the front. I can't remember most of the HRs, just that some how gods like Cyric and Bhaal existed at the same time, despite the obvious problems there. In the end the game became a problem more because of the railroading than the HRs, but it ended with this classic line, after our ranger tried to disarm the strange woman following us WITH HIS BOW: DM: You just killed (insert random noble sounding name here) JP: Was she important? Jack: Dude, she's quoted on the front of the rules packet!

Cut the last encounter on your way out after dealing with the Darth. He's the BBEG. Treat him as such. Play up that Darth Revan is THAT much of a badarse. When the shuttle landed, I had no less than 13 JEDI MASTERS step off the shuttle. The PCs were slack-jawed. After the meetup with Bastila (as she's carrying Revan's body), only TWO jedi masters remained with her. Let me tell you, the player whining about not getting to fight Revan himself shut up pretty quickly when he saw that. 
There's so much you can do with insanity, especially when it has alot of resources.
1. Cleric cast protection from fire on Tank.
2. Tank goes in and get surrounded by enemies.
3. Wizard cast fireball and blows them up.
4. ???
5. Profit

My friend asked me, "Why would they call it Episode 7 if it didn't have to do with the previous 6 movies?" Good question. In other words, he thinks it will be about the main characters developed, ie, Luke, Han, and Leia or their kids.

I remember a rumor a long time ago that the first three movies were to be about the Skywalker dad, the middle three about the son, then the last three about his son. I still hope that is the case...
Oh no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things.

In that case, would you like if they adhered closely to the books already written about the kids? I haven't read the books, so I really don't care. What I do know is, "The book will always be better than the movie." So I would prefer they base it loosely on the books. The movie I, Robot was loosely based on the books, and it I loved it. The movie Chronicles of Narnia Voyage of the Dawn Treader adhered closely to the books, and I didn't like it.
