It's not canon anymore. It was marketed and sold as canon though.

People SHOULD have a problem with there being a black stormtrooper but not for the reasons stated. They are probably ALL black guys. The racist Empire makes all of the disposable troopers black. It's Tuskanee all over again.

Not just books, either. Games, comics, and some cartoons really added to pre-Disney Star Wars in what may be the greatest fictional multimedia world building ever.

There are stuff I wish would have been adapted for screen, or otherwise got more spotlight. Putting up a thread later. EU retrospective.

Currently reading through the EU for the first time... So maybe I shouldn't be asking for "spoilers"...

On the second book of "the Callista Trilogy". First one was really bad. Prob the worst of the SW books I have read this far....

This is fucking ridiculous.

There are lots of stories, from movies to books to games where you know the end game. The ending isn't what it's about. The prequels specifically are tne tragic downfall of ankakin skywalker. The fact that you know he becomes vader just adds to tne tragedy, as you see it slowly happening.

And we've ready say through 3 movies of building to a known ending. I personally rather know nothing that is happening. I don't see any value in adapting the fan creates EU.

I think showing the aliens who designed and built the death star was a little bit overkill in the prequels. We don't need to know if Anakin kills Dooku in Episode 2 there is no Death Star. The ending scenes of Revenge of the Sith are the best of the prequels. Yoda, Ben, Vader with Tarkin and Luke with Owen and Beru. The best music from A New Hope when Luke looks into the Two moons to end was perfect.

It's like when Neo goes into the room with the George Carlin lookalike and finds out everything about the Matrix. There's a fine line of what information you give and what you shouldn't that you only find once you cross it.

It's totally fine talking about the follow-thru, and I agree with you on those points, but I'm just talking about prequels as a concept.

There's times where it's heavy handed but overall we have to end up in a way that the prequels stand on their own while heading into the next story.

Even pretending I am 'hung up' on EU, you're still the one who can't seem to make a point with trying to dismiss me in some way. It's not a good look. Stay on point.

Not disagreeing with anyone on this. If you have a preference toward completely new material, that's fine. But saying prequels are inherently flawed is just wrong. It's just another form of storytelling.

You and several others specifically said that knowing what happens later on takes the drama out of the story. This is not true . It can actually add quite a bit to the drama if done right. Especially with tragic figures like Vader. Obviously a lot could have been done better with the Star Wars prequels.

You aren't comprehending. I agree it can be done right occasionally for a good story. Mostly I think it just becomes well it didn't happen like I thought it would, or that scene was a lot different in my head.

I have no interest in seeing the EU stories adapted. I, me, as an individual, want to see new stories.

Some of the EU is shit. The Papatine Clone stuff just feels like bad sci fi. A retelling of certain aspects of other material wouldn't be bad.

Maybe these Star Wars Stories will have elements of some of the EU stuff. I'm interested to see were these stories go.

30 years of nothing happening is the worst part of the movies.

Are you talking 30 years between Rots and ANH or Jedi and TFA?

Cause Leia isn't a Jedi. Seems dumb Luke didn't train her. She's just senses stuff. Why isn't she a badass?

Because she settled down and had a family and then her family detroyed itself. ren is 29 so he wasn't conceived long after Endor (from what I've read)

I'm not dismissing you. I am stating I personally don't want the EU recognized.

Yeah I'd say it pretty hard to become a Jedi when your raising the child that will kill your husband. Does seem like a lot of nothing happened between ROTJ and TFA though but we could get more filler as the trilogy plays out.

Why name him Ben anyways? He was Luke's friend/master. They barely knew him.

I mean if Luke was too old in Empire to start his training, I dont imagine years later was good for Leia to start.

The Empire didn't just end with the second Death Star exploloding. There had to be a resolution to that. Then you have to build a new republic. Luke attempts to restart the Jedi. The first order grows in power. The Resistance Forms.

We have yet to really hear about anything else.

Yeah but they said Anakin was too old. It's just as the Emperor said. Rules/lies so they can maintain their power. Too old not to be indoctrinated. Luke was deflecting blasters blindfolded by his first lesson (which is one of the first thing 'younglings' learn as seen in Episode 2.)
