I am familiar with his movies and his acting and I disagree. I am sorry you feel like I am insulting your favorite actor because I think he's a pretty amazing actor myself. I just don't believe he's right for the part. I am not picking actors based on their real life personalities. I am picking them based on other characters I've seen them play. Also, depending on the time period of the film (it's supposedly between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope) he could be too old.
This pretty much sums up my view of this announcement.

They’re taking the gigantic, rich world of Star Wars and making it smaller by clinging on to old characters as if audiences would stay away unless there were familiar faces. Holding on to Yoda, Han Solo, and Boba Fett could weaken the Star Wars legacy as the mystery and allure of the characters is washed away.
