This is going to likely ruin most of the novels written. Not to mention ruin my blu ray collection that I finally went out and bought. I am not sure this is a good thing.

If they are gunna do it it better be EPIC, because it will be 2 Blu Ray collections they will ruin.

I just hope they respect the EU. Otherwise, I'll not really like it.

From someone who was never a die hard fan i'm excited to see what a Lucas free starwars movie will be like.

I heard this on the radio on the way home tonight. I almost crashed in disbelief and slapping my forehead.

Lucas actually wasn't too bad with the EU when making Eps I-III. Because writers weren't allowed to use this period in the timeline before the movies came out, there wasn't anything much to contradict, and he also took other things from the EU (such as Coruscant) and used them in the movies. That isn't to say he didn't completely ignore other sections of the EU - hell, even ignored some cannon set from his previous movies, lol. But now, the period of time these films is going to be set in, already have numerous novels and stories and characters... and I fear all of this will be forgotten or ignored.

 

Obviously Episode V wasn't "Lucas free", but it is the movie he had the least input into and many fans consider it the best of the six... so from that point of view it could be a good sign.

 

But I'm really not sure I like this. Don't get me wrong, I think the Star Wars universe has huge potential for stories of a very high quality. The problem, for me, is that many, many of these stories already exist in written form and I'll be very, very annoyed if they just go and crap all over the novels because it doesn't sit with their vision for the next trilogy.

 

If there were no books then I would be interested, but like Harry Potter, as much as I enjoy the lore and as much as I would enjoy reading more, some things are just better left. I've always considered the movies about the fall and redemption of one man... but this is likely going to change that.

 

To be honest, I'm still hoping this is a well played joke.

[MasterShrive 2,015]

Well I've changed my tune in the three years since this thread was made (has it really been that long?). I figured I'd give it a bump, as we're going to need somewhere to discuss the sequel trilogy, as well as any spinoff movies and possible cartoons or TV shows. Not long now

[MasterShrive 2,015]

Now that i think about it, i was keen after seeing teaser! 

[Fauxrique 67]

I really hope it doesn't bomb, after all this hype I don't want to be disappointed. Thinking of it, Phoby's choice of not watching trailers and the like might have been the best course.

I hope so too. I try not to watch trailers anymore than I have to. I'm enjoying going in some what fresh.
