Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I'll have to agree, that was a pretty cool title. I remember when it was first announced and we all thought it was cool back then. Even though by then we had been force-fed "A New Hope" down our throats when we all knew the name of the dad-blamed movie was STAR WARS!!
I thought "Revenge of The Jedi" was a cool title. Then it got bounced around and finally reduced to a wimpy sounding "Return"
When "Phantom Menace" was announced I did the biggest face palm of my entire life!! Oh Lord that was a horrible title!!
"Attack of the Clones" is a pretty cool title for a pretty crappy movie!
And by the time "Revenge of The Sith" came around we were like, what're ya doing? Just rehashing a title you came up with 20 years ago. You couldn't use it then so you're using it now?
Here's an idea--what would have been a wimpy title for Empire?

To give credit where it's due, this meeting did have the decency to introduce Daisy Ridley by name. No one in the rebellion would introduce Mon Mothma, the leader of the Rebel Alliance, by name. Jerks.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
In Sweden we got:
Star Wars -> War of the stars, i.e. literally that the stars would be at war with each other.
The Phantom Menace -> The dark threat
Revenge of the Sith -> The darkness's revenge.
More or less translated titles in other countries are often stupider.

First of all, it's a working title.
Second of all, I like it. Deal with it.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I haven't seen like five of the last episodes, otherwise yeah. I don't think she's an awful character, I just don't think she'd be a good main villian. I really hope there are no Sith or Dark Side users in the new movies. I'm not sure if that would work or not though because most people expect lightsaber duels.

Apologies if this got posted and I missed it:

Fan made, but pretty nifty nonetheless.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
You know, I just realized something: with the Disney announcement about the EU...pretty much NOTHING outside the six films and the Clone Wars cartoon and film are considered canon for plot purposes.
This came to mind as I just started a first playthrough of The Force Unleashed (after having learned how the story ends, which seems....yeah, non-canonical in spite of saying it was canon previously). Yet, this hasn't diminished my enjoyment of the game (which is good, but slightly lessened by the wacky lock-on and camera issues...). It's still fun to play and screw around with, even if it's not Official Canon With a Capital O.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I am sure that the story group will pull things from the EU into canon later.
It is not like it hasn't been done before: Aayla Secura from comic book, Coruscant and the Witches of Dathomir from post-ROTJ EU ... hey, Darth Maul's return was even pulled from an alternative universe comic book, with his appearance a direct copy.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Exactly. If I *HAD* to I would translate "STAR WARS"then I would simply translate it into "Stjärn Krig". Not sure what the original translator was thinking.
Yeah, cause really you don't need something to be "canon" to that specific franchise in order to enjoy it.
I really hope we don't get any movie based games, unless they actually spend the necessary 3-6 years making them. No point in releasing all these movie tie-ins that end up being a waste of both money and space.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Exactly. And frankly, my experience of the video games themselves has always been to treat them as non-canonical. Probably because I cut my teeth on Star Wars video games by personally blowing up the Death Star in several different iterations (the arcade game, X-wing, Rebel Assault, etc.). I never really took any of it seriously as canon, so the notion of the game being canon struck me as...goofy. Particularly given what I learned about the plot of the game. It was just absurd. I mean, it's fun to play, but the notion of Vader indirectly starting the Rebel Alliance?! You gotta be kidding me!

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I keep hearing them say that the "post ROTJ" EU is being ignored or swept aside, whathaveyou. I wonder about things like Shadows of the Empire and The Force Unleashed, which fit between the films as they stand now. Will some of that stuff be brought into canon proper or is it going to be labeled legends also, I wonder.
