You have to wonder what the point of making the EU non-canon if they were just going to use it anyway for their new movie. It's also saying something when the best plot threads are ones that didn't originate from Abrams and everything he came up with is kind of bad.They could have just adapted the Thrawn trilogy and given us a better story.

People were saying it would be worse, but hey, its much much much better.There's no way it could have been worse than the prequels. SW7 won't be a bad movie in all likelihood, but it won't be a good one either. Just typical hollywood meh action flick.You're from the future? I can't believe you have seen all of the action, drama pieces, and acting of the film already! Oh I can't believe that the barebones of the plot here gave you that!

Also when you take the lead actors and director into account you shouldn't really expect much.

Its better that they re-use some plotlines instead of making some shit that would ruin the franchise, even better if they use some EU stuff that were fairly good. This isn't like Halo 5 which made a retarded plot from the start.

Quote from: LC on December 16, 2015, 12:58:00 AMYou have to wonder what the point of making the EU non-canon if they were just going to use it anyway for their new movieBecause the EU was a mess. Making it non-canon and then pulling from it is much better. It cleans it up, and the material is still useable

For example, what was the point in nuking the KOTOR era? It's so far removed from the movie era that it doesn't have an effect on anything that goes on during it.
Hey at least Darth Bane's still canon.

Epsoide 7 Spoilers, read at your own riskHonestly I was expecting one of the main characters to get killed off in some way when we saw the first announcement. I predicted that it would be Han and to my surprise I was right.

How are you shocked they killed off Han? Harrison has been asking for that to happen since ESB.
