Also as long as we are on the topic of SW and age, think about this.
In the prequels, Anakin was, say, 25? Twenty years go by before we get Episode 4. And only a few years go by between Episodes 4, 5, and 6. Let's be generous and say 5 years. That makes Vader 50ish when he dies. BUT the actor playing the unmasked Vader was 80 year-old Sebastian Shaw!
Well according to wikipedia's dates he would have been 77 when RETURN OF THE JEDI was released but because his scenes would likely have been filmed the previous year let's say 76.
And in the film I'd say he doesn't look a day over 50. Especially with those digitally-removed eyebrows.

Well, since Guinness is long since dead, I'm thankful they at least retained MacGregor in the role and not recast again. It's good for continuity. Also, as a supporter of the prequels, I'm very happy that the new films and TV shows acknowledge their existence through a multitude of references.
But yeah -- the 'transition into Alec Guinness' aspect of it all is now rather weird, i.e. if the events of A NEW HOPE are "right around the corner" in this new OBI WAN show.
A NEW HOPE would be a decade in the future of this show. But I agree it's wonderful to have MacGregor back. He was outstanding in the prequels.
Personally, I'd love to see a glimpse of Liam Neeson in this series. That would close a few holes in the narrative.
Agree with both your comments here Ed!

I just searched around some and couldn't find a Powell rumor.
But I'd take so many composers over him, including Joel McNeely.
