[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [qb] Disney has full access to EU material. Lucas Licensing must've had better contract lawyers than whoever you refer to. [/QUOTE]Source? I've seen ZERO to suggest that. Marvel plans to start everything from scratch with their comics, so it's silly to think Disney would toss fan favorite stories and concepts if they owned them exclusivly. [QUOTE] Rebels features a Kenner toy design, for instance, and the new novel "Tarkin" heavily references EU crap at the expense of the story. [/QUOTE]From what Zahn told me, there are still some novels that will see publication that were held up for whatever reason, but were in progress before recent decisions. And for the record, ALL the toy stuff was always owned by Lucasfilm- something Kenner agreed to and Hasbro continued. Lucas had brilliant merchandising guys. [QUOTE] By your reasoning, Dark Horse could publish their bits at any time so long as they avoided reference to Star Wars, even making toys and such. That is inaccurate. [/qb][/QUOTE]Marvel does this all the time with characters they created but had their origins in a licensed property. For example, Marvel does not own the Micronauts property or the Rom: Spaceknight property- but they DO own Bug (made by Marvel in the Micronauts series and now part of Guardians of the Galaxy) and the Dire Wraiths (made to be the antagonists in the Rom comic) and used occasionally. Marvel also occasionally shows Rom's home world and other Spaceknights (which Marvel created), but Marvel can NOT reference Rom directly and has to avoid mentioning him. And they CAN'T reprint the comics from Rom or Micronauts, but CAN reprint/publish anything with the charcaters Marvel owns, but are featured in other Marvel works. That being said, it's possible (but highly unlikely) that Dark Horse [b]could[/b] make a Jarael and Griff comic (from Knights of the Old Republic) without ever mentioning any SW anything- but it would be a fairly generic space adventure and the hassle of it would make it more trouble than it's worth, I'd think! So, no, DH can't publish materials exerpted from published SW comics (as Marvel can't exerpt Rom stuff), but that does not mean they dont own the stories/characters that they created- theugh they exist in a sort of limbo of heroes without a universe to be published in!
