That's not canon anymore bro. Mary Jane up there is fan fiction.

You are right brother I forgot about the EU announcement

I wonder why Disney flew out to talk to J.J. Lensflare, so scary

We are going to have to start book burning them like Nazi Germany. I am going to smash all my KotOR video games and eat all my Shadows of the Empire figures!

I only ever tried to read one EU book - one of the 'Bounty Hunter' trilogy books from the 90s I think.

Painful beyond explanation.

There's good and there's bad in the EU novels. Those BH books were not a high point.

But, it's always been nice to have the EU and especially the comics around to fill the long, very long, gaps between films.

Star Wars is for life, so we take the good and the bad...

I fill the long gaps between movies by simply...

...rewatching the unaltered OT.

So what you're saying is that in 37 years we only have 6 hours of good Star Wars.

I have a couple of comics from those Hasbro figure comic packs actually - the Legacy series looks ok I guess.

More like four and a half (SW + ESB + ROTJ space battle)

I am glad you said 6 and not 12 hours. PTs don't count, I think Lucas was on xanax and completely insane

So that makes 270 minutes of quality Star Wars in 13,505 days.

Pretty much.

But in the few short hours that we had the OT, we loved a lifetime's worth.

If that Ewok would blink, his eyes wouldn't tear like that. Gives me an idea...

He's just sad because Sarah Connor is talking about the future of when Lucas-net creates the horrible PT.

I just called George he said he's hanging with Spielberg trying to butcher Indiana Jones 5, something about Zombie German hookers from outer space. It's going to be awesome, George said.

That'd be pretty funny if these new Star Wars movies actually make the prequels look appealing.

With JJ involved I think it will be more divisive than the PTs. Almost everyone sees the PT as a big clusterf-ck with a few defenders. The new Star Treks are evenly weighted with two large camps of haters and fans, not so one sided.

I think the next movie will be like that.

JJ's style of film will be more suited to Star Wars than it is Star Trek IMO. I'm reasonably optimistic, I do think it will be better than the prequels at least.
