Heh. EU is what you decide it is. EU for me is everything outside of 4-6 and parts of 1-3.

TomH1138 said:Also, I think you meant to say "for all intents and purposes."
TomH1138 said:It seems like Disney's ultimate goal is no new Star Wars in 2014.
And I ask: For heaven's sakes, WHY?
Hymie said:And while I understand what Disney is doing, I understand for most fans it sucks. Besides having played some games, the only Star Wars EU stuff I ever got in to was the Clone Wars show, and I felt that had a good finale so perhaps I don't have reason to lament the ending of the current EU as most do. Personally, I always just thought of it as published fan fiction, and considering how expansive its gotten over the years, is probably more of a burden moving forward than anything.
TMBTM said:Maybe the story Lucas wrote for the new trilogy goes against most of the EU (books and videogames. Clone Wars is concidered "canon" by Lucas... until he changes his mind... or Disney).
So they can't release things that contradict the new trilogy.
TMBTM said:And IMO, I think all things that Disney will now put out should be "canon". Enough with those alternate storylines of the EU. It confuzes people and I'm sure Disney don't want that.
TomH1138 said:When Heir to the Empire and Dark Empire were released in '91, they were considered canon.
TomH1138 said:So if Disney does any comics, novels or video games at all (which they probably will), at some point it's going to be contradicted by something in a later movie.
TMBTM said:Not so sure about that. I think that even when I read that trilogy back then I knew that if Lucas wanted to make new movies it could contradict the novels. It was pretty clear from the start if I remember well.
TomH1138 said:You're right that having no video games, comics and novels would reduce the chance of contradictions,
TomH1138 said:kind of funny, because after I responded to your post the last time, I listened to a Star Wars podcast where someone quoted Dave Filoni (the show runner of Clone Wars) as saying that Lucasfilm hasn't been overly concerned with continuity between the properties in the past, but that they're going to try to start doing better about that. So here's hoping!
TMBTM said:I know you understood what I said but, just to be clear for our dear readers friends: I'm not saying there should not be videogames, comics and novels, I'm only saying that maybe those that were cancelled were because their stories could be pointless and/or confuzing with what's comming next.
TMBTM said:And you're right, there's already some inconsistencies even within the 6 movies. But that does not mean they could not do better as they go. I think that's all the fans want at this point: at least make something coherent this time! haha.
TMBTM said:About the "there is another" line. I'm not sure Obi Wan beeing there for the birth of the twins makes Yoda's line pointless. It's just someone remembering someone else something he already know. Happends all the time in real life.
EDIT: or maybe Obi Wan is sexist or something like that and don't think Leia could be another Jedi, haha
TMBTM said:Good... GOOD...
TomH1138 said:Do you mean that Yoda has to remind Obi-Wan? (The word "remember" there is kind of confusing.) If that's what you mean, yeah, that's possible.
Well, maybe...geminigod said:Worst Star Wars story idea ever: Anything involving time travel.
