According to Wookieepedia:

Arguably, that should have sparked the war too, since no attempt was made to disguise it as a loophole to the Treaty of Coruscant like most actions up to Belsavis. It seems that neither side was ready for war back then, though.

It seems that most stories at the end of Act 2/beginning of Act 3 start talking about the war without much explanation behind it. Only the Sith Warrior one is more or less involved with Plan Zero, but then again, it only says something about Darth Vengean and the fringe systems without being really clear about what exactly did happen and who declared the actual war. Anyone more knowledgeable than I care to fill the gap?

That'd be the stupidiest thing they could do, but it's still not confirmed so I'm keeping my hopes up.

I think the title already answered that. What makes Star Wars the big hit it is? The "Stars" and the "Wars" It'd be a forgotten indie film without those two elements.

I have nothing against Pattinson himself, but the whining of the Star Wars purists would be so annoying that I'm against this casting.

I remember when Chris Columbus was asked to direct the first Harry Potter films that everyone feared that the movie wouldn't be faithful to the book and such, just because his most famous movie had been Home Alone, which wasn't really the style of HP. I'll give this guy a chance. I liked both Toy Story 3 and Little Miss Sunshine and I bet that I will like this too.

Disney'll probably look at whatever gives them the more money as a priority and only then care if it fits the current lore or not. The Old Republic just isn't as profitable as the Original, therefore, I wouldn't count on it. At least not right now, they might do a spinoff series about it, but the first movie they make surely won't be in that period, as much as you like it.

Haven't seen them, sorry. But I know there's a "More played class" and "More played race" around here. Also, I'd say that humans are the most played for every class, except maybe IA, which might be Chiss, specially on RP servers.

I think the story was pretty straight forward, with enough twists and enough action to keep me interested through it. But what really sold it were the developed characters, specially the antagonists in Chapter 2 and 3. Pretty much every storyline with a good and defined antagonist (Chapter 1 of the smuggler comes as a prime example) was above average, while the ones that didn't build up emotions towards them (Chapter 1 of the consular) didn't. I don't see it as the more original of all the class stories, but it didn't need to to make me enjoy it.

Maybe Luke forgot to use a Galactic Condom

Hamill is also fat, by the way. I think the only one in relative good shape is Ford, and maybe Fisher.

Hoth, it's incredibly big for the amount of quests there are. Besides, it's lack of a cohesive story bothers me.

Depends on your definition of fan. It'd be hard to actually set a number, but I'd say that a maximum of 20% of the people who liked the Star Wars movies must have followed the post RoTJ EU.
