To those of you more lore-savvy in the Star Wars franchise, how does this news sound to you?

6 回复I think that a lot of really good stories won't be converted into films. The Admiral Thrawn stories definitely come to mind, those would make fantastic films.

5 回复JJ Abrams is doing it. That means for lore savvy people (like myself) that none of the lore will be the same. I mean look at what he did with Star Trek: [spoiler]oh I'm just going to throw Spock back in time so everything changes and I can do what I want.[/spoiler] Part of the reason JJ Abrams went with Star Wars is Disney agreed to let him have more freedom with the plot. Likely, the plot will be very different. Chewie may still be alive and Luke may never have had kids. Maybe he never even met Mara! (yes I'm a Star Wars nerd)

2 回复EU won't be used, they've already confirmed this. Lucas himself doesn't even consider the non-movie aspects of Star Wars to be entirely canon anyway, more like an alternate universe. The EU's a cluster-blam!- anyway, and it's so filled in any hope of originality would be lost.

4 回复My expectations are so goddamn low at this point. Disney + Star Wars, for -blam!- sake.

I would rather that they abandoned the Expanded Universe. Yes, thousands of hours of work and dedication have gone into it and thousands of people have devoted their time to learning and understanding it, but it's just so gigantic and such a mismatched cluster at this pint. I'm sure JJ Abrams and Disney want to tell a new story with new and old characters, one that would probably not fit into the already rooted lore. It has already been stated the EU is non-canon; it should not be a surprise to anyone if they don't follow it in the new movies.

6 回复I want them to follow the EU. Plain as simple. This is going to outrage many fans and community members who have dedicated large amounts of time learning and creating content for the EU
