In my opinion, Star Wars has grown to something that is beyond the reach of G.L. Sure he may have made the movies and began the whole thing. But it's the writers of the "EU" as this wacko put it, that really puts the whole thing into perspective. At least for me. Lucas is a dumbass for not following the books. They're much better than anything he could have come up with. Some of the books would have made far better movies than TPM, AOTC, and ROTS. I would have loved to see the Thrawn Trilogy or the X-Wing series made into movies. To be honest the prequel movies didn't feel Star Wars to me at all. No matter what Lucas says with all his canon bullshit, I'll always beleive that Bevel Lemilisk created the Death Star at the Maw, and not some little buggy things with wings. The Eu took star wars to places Lucas couldn't even begin to dream up. Star Wars is no longer his, It is the property of all who love it. To lucas it's just his paycheque. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Sol System</b> <br /><small>Member # 30</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,9,7,16,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 07, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">04:59 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I don't know, sure it's a long way away, but beyond the reach of Green Lantern? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Jason Abbadon</b> <br /><small>Member # 882</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,9,7,20,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 07, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:56 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Well, if you painted everything yellow...<br /><small>yes, I know that no longer applies, but I'm talking <i>classic</i> Hal Jordan version here.</sma;;> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Guardian 2000</b> <br /><small>Member # 743</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,9,7,22,7,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 07, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:07 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I'm sorry, but I seem to have misread the message right after mine.

But i do think that lucas made a big mistake making the prequels and not a sequel, i didn't even go to phantom or clones on opening night cuz they looked so stupid, i didn't even pay for my own ticket when i did go. Make no mistake, I love star wars. When the original came out, some people thought it was a childrens movie, but lucas was trying to be serious, now with the prequels i get the distinct impression that it was a childrens movie and he WAS trying to make it that way. I'm sorry, but they just looked fake, which is saying alot since Star Wars is a fantasy...<br /><br />I remember hearing once that George Lucas personally reads and aproves every Star Wars novel before it was released, has anyone else heard anything along those lines? Cuz I find it hard to believe he hasn't read any of the "Expanded Universe" or whatever. So long as it has the trademark STAR WARS in big capital letters on it, it's Star Wars to me. regardless of whether or not George Lucas has gotten his greedy little paws into it.<br /><br />And if I understand this whole canon concept goes like this: anything that was not in the movie doesn't actually exist in Star Wars? So there's no Victory Star Destroyers...BTW i has hoping to see one of those in the prequels...Tuff sh*t eh.. no E-Wing either? no World Devastator, Eclipse class Super Star Destroyers, no Z-95 Headhunter? no Corperate Sector? han and Leia don't get married and have 3 kids. That's where the bullshit lies... oh, if anyone here doesn't know what i'm talking about, just say so, cuz I know my Star Wars. specially the starships...<br /><br />And yes Leia does eventually get her own lightsaber as a gift from Luke, and she uses it too. She even beat luke in a duel in the book "Ambush at Corellia"<br /><br />As for being a Jedi Knight, I don't think she ever recieved any formal training at Lukes Praxeum. (Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 for those who havn't read "Dark Force Rising") Luke did teach her for a while, but being the head of a galactic republic kinda cuts into your free time...<br /><br />I wonder if old Georgie ever played any of the games Lucasarts put out. heh, maybe one day I'll see him on a Battlefront server and blow his brains out with my sniper rifle... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mars Needs Women</b> <br /><small>Member # 1505</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,21,16,29,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 21, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">04:29 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I recently bought the star wars chronology book (the new one)and it does a pretty good job of tying canon into eu.
