I genuinely hope they aren't the Solo twins. But if they are? It won't hurt the movies for me!!

I still see no reason why the Thrawn Trilogy shouldn't be held as cannon. Mara Jade and the Solo Twins are the big ones for me from the EU, and Ben Skywalker by extension. I'm not really counting any of that out just yet though. I haven't read any spoilers, don't plan on it, but I think the connection to family within the story could be heavy. Rey and Ren could both be Solos. So I'm just waiting to see how it all plays out. I literally know nothing about Rey beyond her being a scavenger on Jakku. Same goes for Finn and how he plays into everything. Seems feasible to me that Finn could be "special" in terms of midichlorian count and that Rey could have been born into her legacy. I'm extremely hyped but I'm in favor of EU tie-ins where possible. Seems like Boba Fett has gotten EU carry over treatment. No reason to believe everything else will be ignored. Again, we'll see. It sucks but you need to count it out. Only things that are now cannon are the movies, the Clone Wars movie and show, and the Rebels show. I have a feeling Disney will use elements from the books but sadly the books themselves are considered "legacy" or an alternate timeline. |

After hearing the premise of Rogue One and that Vader and Tarkin(played by Cushing using tech) may be in it? I'm totally pumped for it!!!!

It was a smart move making all the EU stuff non-canon. There's SO much of it that it would have been impossible to keep continuity or tread on plotpoints that they've already covered.

I think so too AF and I feel your on point with your reasoning here. When I heard all this news I didn't rush to throw out all my dark horse stuff.....still read it regularly |

I mean, there are like 50 million different Marvel continuities, so I see no harm in a few Star Wars ones! |

I just finished the original trilogy, and I'm wondering..
Darth Vader killed the Emperor at the end of ROTJ.. So does that mean that the prophecy discussed in Episode 1 was still correct? And that Anakin Skywalker did indeed bring balance to the force?

And that Anakin Skywalker did indeed bring balance to the force? I will begin by saying that this theory SHARPLY divides the fanbase. Man I have seen it cause serious arguments!! I happen to agree with it though. It seems obvious to me that this is indeed the case. |

Vader did not follow the path many assumed the "chosen one" would, but in the end he did bring balance and peace. He was born of the force and I think is the most powerful jedi/sith we've seen in the movies at least. His power and potential has been much more described in the expanded universe books and games as well. |

Yeah but the Emperor dying didn't really bring peace. It was just a big victory in a larger battle. We have to assume the First Order is the new Empire and that means the Rebels really didn't win. If anything, the Emperors death via Vader's hand created a bigger divide from what we've seen of the Force Awakens. I guess that's open for interpretation until the movie comes out. I never took Return of the Jedi as the end of the battle between the Empire and the Rebels.
So while I agree that Vader brought balance to the force in that we were left with Vader/Emperor = Luke/Obi-wan (or Yoda, eventually Leia), I don't think Vader brought balance to the galaxy. Vader bringing balance to the Force was just wiping out the Jedi imo. I mean likewise you can say Vader killing the Emperor brought balance because the sides of war were more even but then you have to consider that Vader hunted down and murdered hundreds of Jedi Knights to bring that balance that would have been in the Alliances favor had he not done it. So either way it largely worked out better for the Empire.
Anyone see the Hayden Christensen potentially returning? I'm not going to get too worked up about that just yet but him being inserted at the end of RotJ was a terrible edit. So if they're going to do a clone story with Vader, awesome, but I don't want to see Force ghost Anakin in Ep8. Again, just kind of need to see where they go with that before I have a full opinion. We've seen the clone story in the EU and it works. So if it happens with Vader I won't be too upset. I actually enjoy Christensen as an actor. I don't really blame him for the issues I had with Anakin's dialogue in the prequels.

I said as long as it's an interesting story and he decides to put on his acting pants, bring it on.
I actually think a cloning story could be pretty cool. Like if Ren was part of a Vader cult looking to bring back their lord.

Did we ever hear anymore of that rumour (possible spoiler incoming?) about the Emperor returning in the new trilogy?

Over the last couple of weeks my son and I have been watching the movies (the blu-ray version, by the way and what the  did they do to Return Of The Jedi on these blu-rays!!!!!) We watched them 456,123 and this was the first time in a while I, myself had watched the saga from beginning to end and before I would have always ranked the movies. 5,4,6,3,1 and 2. But after the repeat viewings I actually think I would say that Attack Of The Clones is my favourite of the prequels. My son on the other hand hated, Attack Of The Clones and now hates Mace Windu. What could make a child hate such a badass Jedi? Well the fact that he killed Jango Fett in front of Boba, it really shocked him and even a couple of days after he kept going on about it, funny how kids take things differently than us adults do. I cannot wait for Episode VII and I am going into it with an open mind, far more open than when I went with a few buddies to see Episode 1 back in 1999! My son could not be any more excited and for some reason he thinks that Kylo Ren is either going to be Luke (not sure where he got that one from) or be something to do with him  man I ing love Star Wars! |

Revenge of The Sith is my favourite of the Prequels by some distance. I rank them
5
6
4
3
2
1
I love the extended editions of the OT. Love the extra stuff in ROTJ and the corrected Emperor in ESB.

The story of Palpatine/Darth Sidious is told and it was MAGNIFICENT. Im more interested in finding out who this Supreme Leader Snoke is...and how he figures into things. Other than us knowing(from the mouth of JJ) that he is a motion capture character and is a "big figure in the dark side" we haven't a clue about this guy. Also who the hell is Max Von Sydow playing in this damn movie? |

Though of course I am ing hyped for Luke, Han, and Leia still so maybe I'm a little hypocritical lol. |

Aside from a few spoilers that leaked out from them filming in Skerries in Ireland we know ZERO about his involvement. I say spoilers.... but when I heard they were using Skerries? I knew damn well what its purpose would be. Hamill nearly plunged to his death on those islands too......a member of the Irish film board actually did save his life. |
