bacardimayne Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Fuck the expanded universe. I hope Lucas releases an official statement denouncing all of those shit books and cartoons as what they are: shitty non-canon fan fiction that has a license attached to it. Why should Abrams have to work around a bunch of horrible novel storylines to make his film?Anakin Solo? Palpatine clone? Chewie dies? Boba Fett survives the sarlacc? Go fuck yourself.

ZoSoRose Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I like some expanded universe like KOTOR 1 and 2 and some of the early 90s stuff like the Thrawn Trilogy and Dark Empire II am super glad they are doing away with the EU though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tater Totts Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Some MIGHT be, Disney have hired a team to sort out the EU and decide what is considered canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Most of the novels are considered canon, but not G-Canon. According to Wookieepedia, only the films are the official canon according to George Lucas. Most of the novels are considered secondary canon.

There was a kids' series I read many years ago that started with The Glove of Darth Vader and they weren't considered canon until a few years ago. Of course the comics like Infinities and Tales aren't canon. One of the issues of Tales had Han and Chewie crash landing in the Pacific Northwest and Chewie was the origin if Sasquatch. Indiana Jones and Shortround discovered the crash site and Indy remarked that the remains of Han seemed somehow familiar. And when did they expand on KOTOR/KOTOR II? Last I knew Revan was missing and the Jedi Exile didn't have a name. Edited January 11, 2014 by luciusfunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaider Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I couldn't care less about fan fiction or any of the alternate stories or spinoffs or ANY of the SW books written after the original trilogy came out. In my head, it's all about Episode IV, V and VI. I pretend the prequels never happened either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciusfunk Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I might have to check those out. I wanted to play TOR when it came out, but I was busy with WoW and didn't have time/money for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) TOR has gone free to play now.I would warn you though, from what I heard it messed up Revan and the KOTOR canon. Edited January 11, 2014 by Tater Totts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) At heart, most beloved sci fi franchises, although visually stunning and set in the future or in distant non existent galaxies and planets, are pretty straightforward stories. You know: this is your hero and the guy your gonna be rooting for. Check. This is your love interest. Check. This is the evil bad guy. Check. This is your comic relief. Check. That may be true for Star Wars but it's not what science fiction is about.Well, at least one of those are untrue. The love interest thing turned out pretty bad for luke. He only discovered his true love in the EU.Redheads... gotta love 'em.I meant science fiction is not about following that formula and creating simple and heartwarming stories. Star Wars is essentially a fantasy series set in space. That's what the formula works for and it's why Star Wars is so good, but don't say that most beloved sci fi franchises are pretty straightforward.Fuck the expanded universe. I hope Lucas releases an official statement denouncing all of those shit books and cartoons as what they are: shitty non-canon fan fiction that has a license attached to it. Why should Abrams have to work around a bunch of horrible novel storylines to make his film?Anakin Solo? Palpatine clone? Chewie dies? Boba Fett survives the sarlacc?

DieselDaisy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I remember watching the Ewoks films when I was about 9. Are those considered canon? Canonical cack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I remember watching the Ewoks films when I was about 9. Are those considered canon? Canonical cack?George co-wrote those so maybe, yeah. G-Canon is anything George worked on (the movies, the Clone Wars cartoon, and so on). Secondary canon is everything else. But with the Disney era, they wanna make all of the upcoming comics and such have equal canon status as the movies (in other words, build a media-expansive universe like they did with Marvel).I've come to terms with losing most of the EU (like some others have said, most of it is shit anyway), but there are still a few gems in there that I'll be sad to see go. But if the cost is an awesome new movie trilogy, then I'll get over it and be happy.Anyways, what do guys think of these new rumors?: http://www.starwarsunderworld.com/2014/01/rumor-michael-fassbender-adam-driver.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
