I don't think we'd ever get a truthful answer from Kripke or anyone else. After some of what Kripke said at Comic Con (not spoilers), I don't think I want to read or hear anything he says again.
This seems like the wisest course of action. Not to disparage Mr. Kripke too much but he does seem to be quickly dwindling into George Lucas territory of BUH-ZUH?!Dom (yes, BuhZuhdom is a word!) when it comes to grasping his own creation. His "Yes, we always indended this or that" is the new "Yes, Greedo was always meant to shoot first!"
