Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I will NEVER understand the fan trailer/mashup culture. There's two extremes; "OFFICIAL STAR WARS EP. VII TRAILER - REAL" (ST: Into Darkness with TOR clips interspersed); and "Jimmy Neutron + Cindy Vortex: A Love Story", featuring music from The Notebook.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
My sense is that canon is literally just the six films and the cartoons. Everything else is "Legends" until otherwise clarified or brought into the new canon.
I find the storyline where Vader is basically behind the creation of the Rebellion, and Starkiller confronts the Emperor to be complete hogwash. The rest of it is mostly believable, though, with the exception of how ridiculously powerful Starkiller is.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Being totally realistic with myself, I think the only REAL reason I enjoyed TFU was simply because it had the look and feel of the OT. I loved looking at all the costumes, weapons and settings, and even the music felt old-school, character design and acting was spot-on too. I think that gave me the delusion that I really liked the games. I should replay no. 1...

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
See I had no problem with how powerful Starkiller was. In the OT Anakin's Chlorian count was higher than Yoda's. IE that meant that he could be more powerful then Yoda. If you have read Rise of Lord Vader you also know that his ability to use the force was less because of all of his mechanical parts. So there is no reason IMO that a person could be born more powerful then him or the Emperor. The key is who could train him to use his powers to their full extent?
except maybe this guy

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
As someone already mentioned.... I think they'll pull elements from here and there. I watched an episode of "Clone Wars" last night where Darth Maul took over the Black Sun crime syndicate from the Falleens that were running it... That's all from Shadows... and that's all "official" cannon now

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
That gets back to what I was saying about concepts, places, organizations, and technical details (e.g. the technical specs on vehicles). Those kinds of things will be lifted plenty, I expect, if only because they provide convenient background info. But Prince Xizor and what happened in Shadows of Empire is not itself canon, even if the Black Sun criminal syndicate is.

Rule of thumb, a movie title should generally be something an audience can pronounce and/or comprehend

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I hope that's what they end up doing. There's a lot of cool planets, ships, etc. that could be used. They need to clarify because we don't know what's going on with the EU that takes place before ROTJ. I though The Force Unleashed was canon because Lucas personally was involved with the story? I don't think Starkiller's powers are canon since they obviously went with uber Force powers for playability.

These titles reminded me of the pun titles used at the end of every Rocky and Bullwinkle episode....
