I saw this on another forum and that person didn't post where he/she got this potential leaked script from. Posted in /spoiler so you can change your mind at the last second.
Leia is made leader of the Republic after her predecessor's death
Han is a retired veteran of the Republic fleet
Luke hasn't been seen in nearly 30 years
the lead character is Han and Leia's daughter
the other lead is the child of Lando, and either a male or female depending on who is cast
the other lead is a Stormtrooper, also either a male or female depending on who is cast
dialogue for these two characters is very rough in the second draft
Luke has no known offspring
The Empire still exists in the form of a number of loyal systems and are in a state of cold war with the Republic
The Empire is simply referred to as the "Empire," and the Republic is referred to formally only once, as the "Galactic Republic;" no "New" anywhere
There are no Jedi whatsoever, and people still speak as if they are extinct, with Luke being "the last of his kind"
The main antagonists are an older student of the Emperor, and his apprentice
The apprentice takes control of the power dynamic between the two pretty quickly...
The Republic are excavating ruins on a neutral world for a weapon; the world factors into tense negotiations the Empire have had with the Republic, and is referred to as the "Sith Homeworld"
Loredump: In the script, the Sith are a couple thousand years old, founded by an ancestor of Palpatine called Ruin; the apprentice in this film also goes by that name
the ruins within the Sith Homeworld are a control station; the planet itself is the weapon
Luke saves the day at the end, but in a bad way; he has changed
This is probably shit since there's no source.

So if this is true, not only are they going to steamroller Post-ROTJ EU but they are also going to Steamroller the Pre-Prequel stuff? If I'd ever read, played or 'cosumed' any of the EU material I'd probably be outraged.

It’s not too far off from some of the EU. Parts of the Empire holding on for quite some time was in there. Luke going away for a while and bridging to the Dark Side is in the EU as well.

Unless I see a source, I'm not buying it.
