So, we're getting a brand new story in a different part of the Star War galaxy, with an undetermined time line.
That's a ballsy move this early in the game. Wow.

Half a decade from now isn't "so soon" imo, I think it's great. The SW universe is way too rich and vast to just focus and make everything about the Skywalkers, even the current trilogy is a bit too derivative for my tastes. It would be great to see an "expanded" universe where the current crop of main characters are only side characters or alluded to.

They don't see each other between III and IV. Otherwise you're just shitting on canon.

I agree with this. I'd say it's even a stretch to believe he had ANY further adventures between Episode III and Episode IV (although I'm sure they probably will do this anyway). After the last scene in Episode III where he puts on the hood in Tatooine and drives off, it makes perfect sense for him to retire in hiding until Luke shows up.
