All those new books don't mean they're good. The Vast majority of all post Episode 6 stories are complete horse shit. I'm not so much concerned with Disney buying Star Wars. They're doing a marvelous job with the Marvel films (hehe, pun). I am however on the fence since Episode 7 is going to be 10 times more hyped up than Episode 1, and i fear that the hype may destroy people perception of it, no matter how good it could be. In my opinion, the Prequels were pretty damn decent, Episode 3 a little more so, but they were no where near as bad as some people make them out to be.

Okay, yeah some of the books were horrible I'll grant you that, Yeah some didn't like the prequels cause I guess it didn't have darth vader or Luke or Han. Personally I love the prequels, they showed us what Coruscant was like, showed us the Jedi in their prime and also *Deep inhale* they absolutely showed off a butt kicking Yoda!

Yeah a lot of fans hated Yoda fighting, but personally I love it. It shows how great a warrior he actually was.
How much do you know about the Post Episode 6 stories?

I know enough. I was horrified about the Young Jedi series, then one of the Solo kids goes dark side (like we couldn't see that happening) then aliens from like another galaxy invades who are technophobes. By then you could hear me groaning and hitting my head on the wall and asking "Why George why?" Now a days I prefer the things that happen in the early days of the Galactic Republic

Yeah me too, that was my main appeal by Bioware's Old Republic series.
90% of all post Episode 6 stories completely destroys everything the saga stands for. The Dark Forces games were excellent though.
Jedi Outcast anyone?

I mean the Star Wars universe has likes millions of various species. What? They can't do a bit of research? Maybe using a canon species? I mean come on George, stand up for your creation. I swear if they do episode 7 with those technophobe aliens I'm going to find the writer and slap him/her silly. I mean hell you could do an amazing new series about the Sith Wars, what it was like starting up the Galactic Republic or about a billion other thoughts. *looks around* Thats it, i'm gonna kick every writer out of Lucasfilms and give the fans what they want.

They have confirmed that the Sequel Trilogy will be an original story, not based on current Post Episode 6 stories.

Cool. I just hope they don't do a Han Solo story. No offense but I wasn't the biggest Han Solo fan, yeah he was a good guy but I guess I am a Jedi lover at heart.

All rumors suggest It's a new chapter, with only minimal appearances by the original cast. I just hope they finally, officially retcons Boba Fett's death.

Sounds badass, might check it out. Did you see his portrayal in the Clone Wars series?

Post by earthyautja21 on Jul 11, 2013 22:54:24 GMT -5
Yup. I love the Clone Wars tv show. I actually own the movie and the first season. Gonna get the other seasons soon. I found a fanfic web site that pairs Maul and Obi-Wan together, Maul tortures Obi-Wan and its so funny!

Hehe sounds hilarious. I really looking forward to their final season, when they get around to announcing the when and where that is.

You know the reason they didn't air the final season is cause of the negotiations with Disney. You know i was watching the first season last night and I could see Ventress and obi wan together. I mean that would be funny, they each try to kill the other while trying to eat dinner.

I always thought there was a spark between those two.
When Disney bought Lucasfilm they either canceled, or paused development on everything not related to Episode 7. Which is why the games are now being outsourced for example.

Yeah, Still not sure if Lucasfilms being bought by Disney isn't gonna be a total disaster.
