To expand for Colt's Benefit:
A New Hope - 0 years ABY (the battle of yavin is the year 0) Empire - 3 ABY Return of the Jedi - 4 ABY Thrawn Trilogy - 9 ABY (han and leia are married and have twins, brilliant admiral almost topples government, Mara introduced) Dark Empire - 10 ABY (han and leia have a second son, Clone emperor returns, luke falls to dark side and is redeemed) Lots of battles with imperial remnant Hand of Thrawn - 19 ABY (Empire finally surrenders, Luke marries Mara, Thrawn almost cloned) Peace reigns with minor regional conflicts New Jedi Order - 25-29 ABY (Galaxy invaded by Yuuzhan Vong an alien species from another galaxy that does not exist in the force, Chewbacca Dies, Han and Leia's youngest son dies, Most of the galaxy destroyed, Luke has a son, lots of very bad shit happens) 30-40 ABY - basically nothing happens (SEQUEL TRILOGY!?!?!?!) Legacy of the Force 40-42 ABY - Han and Leia's older son turns to the sith, kills mara, almost kills Han and leia, is defeated and killed by sister Fate of the Jedi 43-44 ABY - Luke exiled for "war crimes" (long story), a planet of sith that have been in isolation for 5000 years attaks the galaxy, and .... other. Which is about where we are right now. (there's like over 100 books, and a good 250+ comics. That's the quick and dirty summary) |

Sounds like a wealth of written material that the movie could use. So, wonder why they aren't going to use it.

But by contrast imagine explaining all that in a 140 word opening title crawl to the audience. The worry could be that it could confuse the audience (much like white ripcord in AOCI). That said, if its set in that gap I point out, most of it can be explained with throw-away lines no longer than Leia's "years ago you served my father in the clone wars" in ANH. Throw in something similar about "you fought well in the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion" and bang. 5 years referenced and done. So I'm really hoping that the powers that be at Lucasfilm recognize this and work on that rather than rebooting the entire EU. (If you're wondering what that looks like, donload this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dsfj0hq64m...%20Wars%29.xls) EDIT: at this point they have not actually said whether they are working around the existing EU and keeping continuity, or if they are going in a completely different direction and rebooting it. The reason many fans worry they are is the choice of JJ Abrams as director who did the Star Trek reboot. Also the expectation that Disney will want to capitalize on Chewbacca in the movie (who should already be dead). |

Give me a more mature show and I'll be there, the current fare seems far too kid centric for me.

I think you'd love the New Jedi Order then.

Tales are all great IMHO (There's actually 5 btw), and I am also a fan of Darksaber. I Jedi is actually one of the omst popular books They've hinted that Rebels will be. But really ...NJO. |

In Georgie's world they do.
My only complaint is seeing Hayden at the end of Return, I can live with everything else. That's why I like KotOR, not much to mess up. TIE Fighter was good as well, hit the right beats in the campaign and the sense of scale with the combat was incredible at the time.
