But the original hero's actors are old. They gonna be needing a lot of CGI. But hey, it's a scifi, of course there is going to be CGI.

They won't be the same age in the films though, hence why their children are adults.

They named one of their sons Anakin.
What.

What.[/QUOTE]most of the retarded EU crap is why i've always insisted that Star Wars ended in Return of the Jedi
everything after that is alternate universe fan fiction to me
Kyle Katarn is the only thing i can take seriously because he's boss
and fights sith dinosaurs.
I don't like the idea on focusing on Luke, Lea and Han. I would love a new cast of protagonists, they can fuck up to much or just include forced scenes in some way.
Fassbender could be an antagonist. Weaving definitely would be.

I wasn't even aware there was a Star Wars Expanded Universe. Is there like a list of the worst things on the EU?

the sun crusher (that name) has to be the most poorly designed ship I've ever seen

Weaving would make a great Imperial captain, a Grand Moff type of guy.
[QUOTE=Joazzz;43522004]i also liked them more when they were lightsaber fights instead of lighsaber ballet[/QUOTE]
I remember reading somewhere that this was because originally George Lucas wanted Lightsabers to feel like big heavy swords so the fights would be slow with limited movement. I guess this explains why the battle between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader in the original trilogy feels really slow compared to the ones in the prequels.
Then, of course, George thought "oh fuck that idea" and decided he wanted to battles to be really fast-paced with lots of choreography and blade-clashes.
It'd be cool if they went back to the old idea of the lightsabers being heavy and hard to swing. Something akin to the "Red Style" or "Heavy Style" (Anybody who has played Jedi Outcast or Jedi Academy would get what I'm saying).

[QUOTE=TheHydra;43520039]i was kind of hoping it'd just be set in another part of the universe. maybe one that doesn't care that much about jedi? but that was extremely wishful thinking. we have to have jedi and lightsabers and all that marketable shit so we can roll out the darth vader M&Ms again. i'd toxx that there'll be something like 80-year-old han solo saying "i always shoot first" if kasdan wasn't writing. he might be capable of telling abrams to go fuck himself on that account[/QUOTE]
this is why i'm really excited for the unrelated star wars movies to come out. like the han solo one or a mace windu seven samurai kinda thing

or like a boba fett western kinda movie OH MAN

My dream of Christoph Waltz as Talon Karrde is ruined. D:

Seriously, the Thrawn Trilogy is the only piece of Star Wars EU I've read but holy fuck would it have made a great series of movies.
I just want a separate series for the Yuuzhan Vong
that'd be too cool if it was done right
Most of the EU set after ROTJ gets pretty ridiculous, with the exception of the Thrawn Trilogy. I'd like to see something set before Phantom Menace but after all of the Old Republic stuff. There is still a lot of the timeline before the prequels that could be used.
