Does anyone really want a movie version of a EU novel? I can hear the complaining already.
I'd rather go into Episode VII having absolutely no idea where the story is going.
They didn't have a book burning. The EU is still there for those who love it.
Agreed, i don't want to know where its all going from scene one for sure, re popping the EU novels won't happen, and id be glad about that, I kinda liked the Zahn novels years ago, but second time around, nah, there pretty lame in parts and wouldn't take to well to screenplay IMO. Id agree with Guy too, id bet my collection nobody has even looked at EU parp for any form of inclusion.
A good script, the look and feel of the used universe back, not the Doug Chiang SR71 rubbish too i may add, as whatever happened after ROTJ, it sure wasn't SW for me, as for lightsabers and there wielding, i couldn't care less as long as we have a story and a definitive retro vision of what was intended back in the seventies, id even stomach the odd Ewok in trade lol.
