Well, the outlines have been known since the eighties, when the books about the time before ANH were written. Or whenever it was. But they've managed to sneak in a lot of other elements that makes it richer, like the mandalorian supercommandos and such.
Think of it as movies about the roman empire or catastrophes. There are lots of predictable movies, that just makes the challenge greater, to make it interesting still.

i think it would've been better to do a movie about the events after ROTJ, like one based on The Courtship of princess leia. or the thrawn trilogy, that woulda been a sweet movie.

On the issue of midichloriens, as far as I remember, Qui-Gonn clearly said that they allow people to touch, or interact with, the Force. I agree that they can't be bottled up etc., but this would be because they're part of the cell. I've always thought of midichloriens as being like mitochondria in the cell.
Mitochondria are small 'organelles', or components, of the cell. They contain their own genetic material, as distinct from that in the nucleus, and are responsible for metabolism of sugars to produce energy. There are a few theories of how mitochondria appeared in animal cells, one of which is that they were themselves one-celled creatures that somehow migrated into animal cells, taking on a symbiotic role.
I could imagine the same sort of thing happening with midichloriens, though that would mean all animals would have some degree of contact with the force.

Well, although noncanon, in the game "Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith" there's a kind of wolf-cougar creature that is force sensitive, ie it can sniff your power and kill you with one bite if it's lucky. It's also immune to force powers, so crushing, pushing or blinding it is out, you have to rely on your trusty sabre. And it can make uncanny leaps, so a lot of sidestepping is in order...

You ever read the Thrawn Trilogy? They're called Vornskr's (not sure on spelling) they eat Ysalaliri. (they repulse the force from thier bodies to hide from the Vornskr's. Talon Kardde had two pet Vornskr's. (he had thier tails removed to make them more docile)
