Honestly, I think Disney will take the films in a postive direction, I dont think anyone could recapture the magic of the originals, but still I do think they will be better then the last 3.
I really do hope that even tho SW is made for special effects, that disney remembers to really make a good solid story to go with the film, |

Originally posted by Elikal This whole post was great and I agree with your take on the whole thing. But most of all I love what you wrote about the EU. That stuff is 95% pure crap. One of my favorite blunders is where they go to Kashyyyk in one of the Zahn books and you discover that Chewie has a speech impediment whereas the other wookies speak the Queen's English. I love authors who treat their readers like imbeciles. You want to throw away your money developing something stupid, go ahead. |

Why is it that fantasy trolls are vulnerable to fire, but internet trolls thrive on flame wars? |

Disney and LF/LA have been working together for years. There's a reason the Star Tours and Indiana Jones rides are exclusive to Disney. And the Clone Wars tv series? C'mon. If you didn't see it coming you are blind.

Originally posted by er99 You guys and your EU. Just give it up. That stuff is just filler to keep people placated between movies. It's not like George helped create those stories or even cared what happened in them. Learn to accept them as a sort of parallel universe that has little bearing on actual films. |

All I can say is...GOOD FRIGGIN RIDDANCE to the EU. Thank God they're retconning the crap out of that pile of bantha poodoo. Like seriously, EU post ROTJ are all shit.
I'm so glad they're truly retconning all that and not using any of them. At least, I hope anyway. Hopefully they don't go back on their direction cos man.....fuck the Expanded Universe bullshit. |

Originally posted by FrodoFragins HA! no way. i'd happily take the EU and all its books in place of any of the movies any day. not to go to far off topic but...was talking to a co-worker about this yesterday specifically regarding Lucas' butchering of the canon in the EU. he had every right to do as he pleased but considering how much $$$ he made off the EU over the years you would think he could of had the respect to the writers to preserve it. i hope he chokes on a $100 dollar bill to be honest. |

Stop dreaming that now because Disney has the rights that the next few movies wont suck. He already wrote and will have a hand in the new movies. It will be the same as b4, major suckage. Stop dreaming.

Originally posted by FrodoFragins The problem with this is the thinking that Georgie added much to the Universe. While he was great with visuals, his content was mediocre at best. Given the huge number of novels, etc, in the EU, some of them are going to be poor, yes. (Especially at the beginning, when they were indeed treated as filler. ) But a lot of the writing in the EU tops anything Lucas has ever done in Star Wars. Especially recently.
A whole lot of people did writing passes on the first trilogy scripts: That's one of the reasons why they were better than the second trilogy.
Like any major IP Universe, there is an extended set of rules and strictures about what could be done and written about. You deviate from that and you'd be edited or called to explain why.
If you are waiting for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one. |

Originally posted by alexanys1982 Lucas won't have control, and the people who do make the movies won't be surrounded by his cabal of yes-men leeches. He's signed away his rights to the whole thing. He owns a ton of Disney stock now. He's not stupid enough to be causing trouble for Disney, even if he doesn't like the direction they take things.
