I understand that it's not post IV, V, and VI but I've always been a big fan of Revan and wouldn't mind him showing up if they make other spin-off movies. (I heard there were rumors of a Boba one.) I just was always a big fan of Revan, I grew kind of attached.

In order to give maximum creative freedom to the filmmakers and also preserve an element of surprise and discovery for the audience, Star Wars Episodes VII-IX will not tell the same story told in the post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe. While the universe that readers knew is changing, it is not being discarded. Creators of new Star Wars entertainment have full access to the rich content of the Expanded Universe. For example, elements of the EU are included in Star Wars Rebels. The Inquisitor, the Imperial Security Bureau, and Sienar Fleet Systems are story elements in the new animated series, and all these ideas find their origins in roleplaying game material published in the 1980s.

Demand for past tales of the Expanded Universe will keep them in print, presented under the new Legends banner.

^This My gripe is the fact they went and destroyed the Old Republic, it made sense with Post ROTJ IMO because it had gotten a bit convoluted but could they not at least leave the Old Republic alone. I hope to God they make Prequel films and re-canonize Revan and the Jedi Exile.

I should also note, I know George Lucas is far from innocent in how he treated Star Wars, but it was at least his own creation.With Disney now in charge (Especially with starting actions like canceling 1313, Making Leia a "Disney Princess" *barf*) that I'm more willing to simply discount what they do as "Well that's Disney, they're just being assholes about it". Granted we got some cases like Tron, Pirates of the Caribbean and Hayao Miyazaki movies where Disney either knew to stay out of it, or actually make it something mature/cool and not shove their "family friendly, family lessons" garbage in it. But with the current track record of how they've treating star wars waiting specifically I'm waiting until the movie is out and have seen it myself before deciding if I personally am treating Disney's actions as canon for Star Wars or if they are to be dismissed and I simply go along with what George Lucas and the rest of the EU left for us.

And you will still have the old StarWars you love even if they screw up, they can't erase history.

Blitzkrieg said Yeah, fuck Disney! How dare they put emphasis on the only Female character in the original trilogy! Princess Leia is NOT a princess.Seriously dude, calm down.1313 was already dead before they took control, they just had the decency to pull the plug and end the suffering. I guarantee you will see a similar project rise up in the next few years, mark my words. They know how obsessive StarWars fans are, they know how much money they can make if they please the fan-base. They won't fuck this up (at least not more than Lucas). And you will still have the old StarWars you love even if they screw up, they can't erase history.My advice to you is the advice to everyone in this thread; sit down, shut up, stop bitching, and enjoy the new trilogy we are going to get. You can't bash these people until you see what they have to offer.

Captain Jordan said No, but they can try as hard as they can. The 1997 VHS tapes had Greedo shooting first, irrevocably changing Han's character (hence the 'Han shot first!' cry from fans). This means that you can't actually find a good-quality version of Han being the sole shooter, as he was in the theatrical versions, the last version was the Laserdisk release. Same for the 2012 BluRay version, Vader now screams 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' as he throws Palpatine down the chute, irrevocably changing his character. While the angsty aggression suits the character that Hayden Christensen played, it doesn't fit with the Darth Vader that the original trilogy portrayed. With screen resolutions consistently increasing, soon the DVD versions will become too poor quality to show, leaving only Lucas' changed versions as the 'right' version. Lucas quite easily fucks with history, so we have plenty of reason to bitch. If Lucas can do that just by re-releasing the original movies, how bad can Disney and JJ Abrams do while mucking around with a new trilogy of movies? I'm not sure I want to find out.

I never watched their 2012 versions but really? They did that with Vader?

It's not a matter of her being a princess.It's the fact it basically reduces her to the same level as most other Disney Princesses. All dressed up, sitting around and waiting for their hero to save them. Not much effort or individuality from them, main other use being to try to ram "Be a good person" lessons down children's throats so Disney looks like the best pick to show children.Leia was not made for Disney, she is not written like a Disney Princess and has a lot more individuality (Granted, Disney is getting better at it now. But not so much when this change was announced). It's annoying to see a good character be lowered/reduced to the same category as a bunch of bland one-dimensional characters.

1313 actually did have a big following of being the first rated M star wars game. That was huge, everyone was excited to see it in a more dark and mature setting outside of the books.

Blitzkrieg said So your mad at them for wanting to fix their previous mistakes by making a bad-ass female into a disney priness. It's going to give little girls an action hero to look up to, and yet your upset.

Blitzkrieg said Please read what I say before going all Keyboard Warrior on my ass.

Blitzkrieg said What I was saying, is that 1313 had too many problems to actually become a game. Real problems like production rights, who gets to be the creator, ect. They canceled it so they could focus on the movies and the new cannon, rather than keeping it in development purgatory.

Blitzkrieg said But you all are obviously convinced that this is the end, so I don't see a point in fighting for this until the movies come out, do well, and you all act like you believed they would be good all along.
