ultimoDANK Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 This was tweeted by Del Ray, publishers of Star Wars books. "@DelReyStarWars: To clarify, movie novelizations are canon where they align with what is seen on screen in the 6 films and the Clone Wars animated movie." Reading sukz ballz!

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Kenny Baker is there. Harrison Ford is using him as a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buy Me a Burrito Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Were people this mad when Star Trek novels were de-canonized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Were people this mad when Star Trek novels were de-canonized?1. Star Trek sucks.2. Star Trek has had more movies and tons of TV. For a few years there all SW fans had were the original trilogy and the books. Again I never expected them to treat the EU like the bible. I was fully prepared to lose everything from the New Jedi Order books forward. Ep 7 takes place 30 years after RotJ. NOW what happened in those 30 years. What we get new books to fill in the gaps? Those stories have like a 2% chance of being anywhere near as good as the Thrawn trilogy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I mean, wouldn't that all depend on the person writing those books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Don't worry. All this shit will become canon again when the new trilogy is over and they need new action figures to sell. Maybe not, since there have been like 700 different C3PO figures and people are still buying this shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I can understand people being pissed about that but I'd be more frustrated with that hack JJ Abrahams directing. You knew Disney was only going to give a shit about theme parks and toys when they purchased this property. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 LOVE the casting choices thus far. Andy Serkis can play whatever role he wants to.....it will be awesome. He wants to play an Ewok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 So it really doesn't look like they have cast a love interest for Luke. Maybe Andy Serkis in CGI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 So it really doesn't look like they have cast a love interest for Luke. Maybe Andy Serkis in CGI? Or she won't be a main cast character, if he has a wife/mate she'll be back on Coruscant/Tattooine or wherever they live while he's off in space on whatever mission they need him to do to fight the dark side.

Brian Fowler Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Or maybe it sticks to the rules that Jedi were supposed to follow from the prequels that Jedi don't love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but Luke loves everyone. All his friends, his family, the Ewoks. This almost proved to be his downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWLJN Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 What's the point of hiring Kenny Baker? The man is 80 and you never see/hear him in the movies. I'm sure he'd rather not spend another summer boiling in a can in Tunisia I honestly wonder if he'll maybe get into the prop for 30 seconds for one shot so then he'll have officially "played" him in this movie and that will be that. An honorary credit sort of deal. I've seen him at times at shows in the past few years and he's not in great shape. Mayhew isn't either, so maybe it'll be the same for him. -J\/\/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how people wear halloween masks for more than an hour, let alone wearing furry ass footy pajamas or rolling around in a tin can.

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I remember seeing all of those making of Star Wars shows as a kid and reading these stories about how the prop people would brake for lunch and forget Kenny Baker was in the R2D2 shell. They would leave him in there for hours at a time and he couldn't get the dome off. I don't know if that is true, but that would be pretty shitty.

Raziel Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Or maybe it sticks to the rules that Jedi were supposed to follow from the prequels that Jedi don't love? Maybe they'll address the natural thinning of force sensitive people because the people with the highest concentrations of the organism that grants access to the Force go against the natural principals of passing on the genetic line. The Sith didn't have to kill the Jedi off, they would've gone extinct naturally. Perhaps they can correct a shitty plot point that existed only so Anakin and Padme could have that "forbidden love."
