So the Emperors hand job never happened?

I like the books based around the prequels more than I liked the prequels.

They're just axing post-ROTJ EU right? Does the Boba Fett holiday special cartoon still stand? I really like that one.

In all but the mind of George Lucas, there anything associated with the SW Holiday Special NEVER EVER HAPPENED!!! :lol

I liked Carrie Fisher's strangely stiff bust as well.

I thought there wasn't underwear in space? :wink1:

I know that was his stance for many years but he seemed to finally come around at least with regard to the Fett toon since he included it on the 2011 blu-rays.

Hamill spotted in London today with Peter Serafinowicz. He has lost weight and is growing a beard.

I have to admit lerath, you're taking the EU dump in stride alot better than I expected.

Well, you know, no sense crying over spilt milk. i can accept the facts, even when they don't agree with my own personal point of view.
AND I've still got this one last kernel. The stories and events didn't happen, but apperently the characters, places and people still do? Meaning, same people, different stories.

WE might still get , for example, Mara jade, Thrawn, Jacen and jaina.

Or we might not.

Like I said before, I'm actualy quite excited, as it's a whole new universe full of possibilities.

Might be awesome, might suck. Right now, we just don't know. I'm just hoping they don't miss the ESSENCE of what made the OT amazing.

Part of that being Luke's rejection of destiny and deciding to forge his own path. NO MORE DESTINY !

They're just axing post-ROTJ EU right? Does the Boba Fett holiday special cartoon still stand? I really like that one.

Nope, according the lucasfilm, the ONLY thing that is canon now is the 6 films, and the CW TV series.

That cartoon no longer happened, UNTILL they ( Lucasfilm) says otherwise.

This also means that the Old republic MMO is no longer Canon either, interestingly enough.
AND they also just delayed the release of their next expansion RIGHT AFTER THIS announcement.
Not a good sign.

that's likely the intention. Hopefully he dosn't speand anyl of it as a ghost. that would be TOO MUCH like impersonation/copying the OT. this needs to be it's own story.

Don't kill off luke. Not this early.

Where does it leave the Droids cartoon or the Ewoks movies? The droids cartoon share the same actor voicing Boba as the SW Holiday Special don't they?

From what Carrie has let slip she is going to be on the film for 6 months, so i'd expect her part to be substantial. Mark has commitments to other projects and is confirmed for an appearance at a SW event in june i think, so it seems he won't be on set as much as Carrie. Of course it doesn't mean he'll be killed of half way through like Obi-Wan was in ANH and just do voice overs for the remaining film as a guiding spirit. But it does give some credence to the theory that the plot will be that Leia, Han and their kids will rescue Uncle Luke from an Imperial prison cell.

if it's not the 6 films, or CW, it's no longer official canon.

Cannot wait until the 4th... I hope they just announce the whole cast and premise for the movie that day.

So there's rumors that both Oscar Isaac may have a lead role in the film, which hopefully is true. He is seriously an underrated actor. He's great.

Zac Efron is also hinting he may be in contention for a role which could go either way I assume. :lol

There's also rumors that Harrison has a huge role in the first of three films (which hopefully doesn't mean he dies)

I'd be super happy if Oscar, Lupita and Adam Driver all had main roles. :rock
