It’s a committee. And Disney. What could go wrong?
> Before you grab your red lightsaber and misguidedly march down to Orlando to tell Disney to leave Star Wars alone, it’s worth keeping in mind that the best thing to come out of the Star Wars universe since The Empire Strikes Back is a video game from 2003. The universe could use some maintenance, and perhaps Disney could breathe some life back into it. We’re not yet sure exactly how Disney plans to tackle the canon; there are those who would prefer the entire expanded universe completely vaporized.
<sigh>.
I am NOT a committee!
Could it possibly be worse than the recent state of affairs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OnDizZ7UT0
“I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee!”
Count me in with the people who want to vaporize the expanded universe. If there’s anything salvageable in that mess, it will need to be cherry picked out.
Aside from the Expanded Universe’s being vaporized they could just go ahead and vaporize the prequels, too.
To be honest I really don’t care what happens to Star Wars anymore as long as a blu-ray set of the first 3 movies unedited is released.
Hey, it’s better that Lucas doing it, meesa thinks.
Whatever the fuck Jar Jar Binks’ race is? Exterminated.
It’s sad that I’m sure that line is from a Star Wars movie but I have no memory of hearing it.
It’s from “Phantom Menace,” the one you’re trying to forget. B^)
He’s a Gungun and I agree, he should be gone gone.
Too bad that the Expanded Universe (at at least the interesting parts, Thrawn Trilogy, Jedi Academy Trilogy, Corellia Trilogy, Courtship of Princess Leia) will be vaporized the monent episode 7 is released.
I mean, we all know what JJ Abrams did to Vulcan in Star Trek…
Can they wipe out the episodes I, II and III?
I found a slightly more friendly bit here. http://clubjade.net/?p=54518 Apparently the source is an interview at the ForceCast. I think it largely depends on how much you trust Leland Chee. He seems dead set on eliminating the “Move/Clone Wars” and “EU” hierarchy, consolidating and reconciling the two, and providing a entirely new set of entry points for Disney to use in the upcoming multimedia sprawl that it’s planning.
I’m reserving judgement, but I feel sort of sad that Episodes I, II, and III will live on. Hopefully, we’ll just pretend everyone in the Star Wars universe was on vacation those years and just vaguely mention it in some exposition. 😛
Could they do worse than Lucas did all by himself?
I’m certainly sad I can still remember it. Somebody please help me forget.

That’s one way.
I’m a big fan of Machete Order.

I am guessing that Star Wars fans have the same feeling now that I had when Apple appointed Jony Ive to work out the iOS canon.
Put it this way… there are fans who’ll gratefully applaud any new branded product that appears, and there are fans who’ll maintain personal standards to compare it against. Abrams pretends to serve both groups.
