A disciple of Emperor Palpatine aims to rebuild the Sith Armies of the Old Republic and destroy the Jedi where the Skywalker children will be thrust into battle and face their inner demons of their Skywalker lineage.

 

As seen HERE.

 

Doesn't sound horrible if you ask me.

I just find it hilarious that people are still thinking EU is non-canon. *facepalm* Edited March 19, 2013 by LadyKulvax

Its not that is is non-canon. Its just that its the canon that stands the highest chance of being retconned. With good reason because its full of mary sue characters.

That and if they do disregard the majority of the EU that does not mean that there will not be elements of it.

No, read the comments, the guy literally says Lucas never allowed the Eu to be canon, which is totally false.

Oh I didnt read that just the article. Sorry.

The EU has never been canon in the sense of 'the definitive story of Star Wars'. It' has always been 'Yeah, that might be the way things happened, unless I say or show something else..

 

How much EU lore was nullified by the Prequels? How much goes *poof* if there is no Jacen or Anakin among the Skywalker/Solo children, or if we get exposition about the past 30 years that doesn't mention anything about Thrawn or an Imperial Remnant?

Actually, its been noted for some time that in Lucas's mind, Expanded Universe is another word for "Alternate Universe" and if he wants to do something that retcons it, he doesn't care.

 

And he wrote the outline of the new story before handing it off to Disney (part of the deal demanded they let him do that) so its probably gonna overlap with stuff in the legacy era. Hopefully it will at least respect the thrawn trilogy since thats arguably the single most important part of the EU there is, but who knows.

Precisely, in his own mind, it's a whole other thing, doesn't mean it isn't canon, why would he bother creating a continuity and then start giving people the jobs of keeping things in order, if it wasn't canon.

 

His canon is the movies, not even the clone wars, doesn't mean the Clone Wars isn't part of Star Wars canon.

 

I also disagree with that notion, the Establishment of the Order of the Sith Lords by Darth Bane and the continuation of that line till the saga begins, simply has to be the most important.

If they care so much about continuity easiest would be to separate movies, comics and cartoons to separate continuities rather than try to fit them all together. Gives everyone much more freedom.

I agree with the Bane part actually. I think if that was retconned we would lose the rule of 2 and that would have terrible implications for not only the movies but TCW as well.

Why half of those posts are empty

The rule of 2 needs to be changed. That's because we're short changing ourselves out of so many entertaining characters. I want to see multiple Sith, all plotting to get the distinguished positions in the order by any means necessary just as the Bishops and Cardinals did during antiquity.

The One Sith sound like your cup of tea then.

Arguably, the "Rule of Two" ended with Palpatine. It was really just a means to get the Sith underground and give them some breathing room to plot against the Jedi from within the Republic following the defeat of the New Sith Empire and the Brotherhood of Darkness.

 

What would actually be interesting would be to explore an alternate Force tradition. Instead of just "Jedi vs. Sith" include the Jensaari and other "neutral" Force traditions as well as a few dark side traditions. It really never made sense to have the focus exclusively on the two organizations. It could give interesting room to explore the true nature of the Dark and Light sides of the Force, and develop good character conflicts.
