[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] I think Disney is full of shit- I got to talk with Timothy Zahn back in July at Megacon and he told me about Lucas' input to his Thrawn trilogy (I was getting my hardcovers signed).[/qb][/QUOTE]Well, as the fellow who wrote http://www.canonwars.com/ and unearthed many of the Lucas and other quotes and concepts now found on Wikipedia, I found that the Disney thing was just a new nail in a very old coffin. I won't quote-spam you with the entire fleet of quotes behind my statement, but I will provide one of the many at http://www.canonwars.com/SWCanonquotes2.html ... [QUOTE] "The Star Wars universe has expanded far beyond the movies. How much leeway do the game makers and novel writers have? " "They have their own kind of world. There's three pillars of Star Wars. I'll probably get in trouble for this but it's OK! There's three pillars: the father, the son and the holy ghost. I'm the father, Howard Roffman [president of Lucas Licensing] is the son and the holy ghost is the fans, this kind of ethereal world of people coming up with all kinds of different ideas and histories. Now these three different pillars don't always match, but the movies and TV shows are all under my control and they are consistent within themselves. Howard tries to be consistent but sometimes he goes off on tangents and it's hard to hold him back. He once said to me that there are two Star Trek universes: there's the TV show and then there's all the spin-offs. He said that these were completely different and didn't have anything to do with each other. So I said, "OK, go ahead." In the early days I told them that they couldn't do anything about how Darth Vader was born, for obvious reasons, but otherwise I pretty much let them do whatever they wanted. They created this whole amazing universe that goes on for millions of years!" "Are you happy for new Star Wars tales to be told after you're gone?" "I've left pretty explicit instructions for there not to be any more features. There will definitely be no Episodes VII-IX. That's because there isn't any story. I mean, I never thought of anything. And now there have been novels about the events after Episode VI, which isn't at all what I would have done with it. The Star Wars story is really the tragedy of Darth Vader. That is the story. Once Vader dies, he doesn't come back to life, the Emperor doesn't get cloned and Luke doesn't get married..." - George Lucas, Flannelled One, May 2008, "George Lucas", 'TF Interview', Total Film Magazine [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
