Ah, KOTOR, how I remember Canderous telling me about shooting the asteroid and it flying off. Good times.

The only main event that could be done here is, I dunno, a crashed 'asteroid' which didn't disintegrate in orbit or somethin'.

Being a great fan of the EU, and having read pretty much everything that's been published (not in comic book format) I have to say:

Not no, but hell no.

Just say no to Jedi Order era content.

Keep thinking that the new films will wipe out the current EU. Just keep thinking that. There is plenty of room for new films to fit within the existing EU. Yes, there may be a few things that get retconned and cleaned up. But to say that Everything written to date will be wiped out is just pure speculation. Original stories does not mean "We'll wipe out the entire EU and re-write it.". All the stories regarding the Solo children will remain, like it or not.

As for a Vong related event? No, just no. They have no place in this game. I like them, but they do not belong here.

I did not even read the novels with the Yuuzhan Vong, but I was okay with them in the legacy comics. So I wouldn't mind them make an apperance in SWTOR.

There could be many possibilities on how the Vong could get involved. A mysterious idividual who's manipulating either the Republic or Empore or inciting civil war, Vong creatures who have drifted across the galaxy to arrive on one of the known worlds, or the discovery of Zonama Sekot where a group of Vong are found who have drifted from their galaxy.

The possibilities are there but of course limited as to how the Vong could be involved.

While I certainly hope you are right as I am a huge EU fan, I find that doubtful. While certainly possible, it seems incredibly doubtful that they will keep the stories of the Solo children exactly as they appear in the books. For one thing they are not going to want filmgoers to have an extensive knowledge of EU material to understand the movies. It certainly seems likely that the Solos will have children and probably even have the same names. But the entire history of the children is too complex, they will probably start fresh in some regards in that area. Same goes for the founding of the New Jedi Order.

As popular as the EU novels are(many are New York Times Bestsellers), they are not nearly as popular as the films and TV show. Take the players of this game for instance, most have no idea just how deeply rooted in EU lore this game is, sadly demonstrated by some of the posts in this thread.

Hence the reason I said "as we know it". I don't mean it will be purged as we know it, right from existence, just that it won't fit directly into what will exist. Unless they pull the Star Trek move to have it make sense in the universe on both sides of the fence. Original content is original though, so while the solo kids exist in the EU, they may not come to be in the films, making the books an alternate timeline. Which to an extent, removes them from the core canon presented by the films.

While it is sad that sometimes this stuff happens, accepting what is canon is up to the end user and what they value most in the universe they love.

Ultimately, the films are the core of the Star Wars universe before anything else, regardless of contributions, contradictions or any other anything the EU brings.

This is true, to an extent. I find the old republic universe far more interesting than the legacy EU. Simply because to me, the Skywalker era was over. Finding out the history of the universe and why "the oppression of the Sith" was so feared.

But this is all personal preference right? As all opinions are.

Dude, I would so hit a vong event.
