(Did anyone else get the impression that the EU stuff might be Jon Kasdan’s work?)

And yeah, I think all the EU stuff was Jon mixed with some consultation with the Story Group.

Well, apparently the Darh Maul cameo was in fact Jon Kasdan’s idea;

No direct mention of the story-group getting involved though, but that hardly proves that they weren’t involved in one way or another. And Jon Kasdan is described as “a particular champion of Darth Maul”, implying that maybe someone else, most likely the story-group, had tossed around various ideas and suggestions prior to on settling for Maul.

The story group doesn’t really force things in, there’ve been no examples of that that I can think of. They’re there for consultation and brainstorming.

I just meant that they might suggest places and characters during the writing process. It’s not uncommon for screenwriters to temporarily creste a place or character without a name or any specific details. With the story group I’d imagine they help fill these gaps. Plus, I’m sure the Kasdan’s simply asked them for help several times.

My guess would be that Saw Gerrera in RO was originally just an unnamed “terrorist” and that at some point someone at the story group figured he resembled Saw From Clone Wars and suggested they use that name.

They don’t force anything, but they probably have a pretty large(-ish) influence on the stories.

Yeah definitely, that all sounds right. I just remember I think I saw someone here say that they forced Maul into this, which seems quite off base.

Yeah I’ve heard that claim tossed around as well, and it was definetely Jon Kasdan’s decision.

I’m just speculating on how much the story group might have influenced that, and many other, ideas.

thoughs updates aren’t doing you well I see.

The movie was fun and stuff. Not great, not bad.

Until they killed the entire film by adding in one of the most shallow characters from the entire franchise. I don’t care at all about what happened in the shows. Darth Maul is dead, even more dead than the prequels are to me.

Yeah, that’s something hopefully a future movie can show. There must be a course where everyone learns to speak in an evil British accent. 😉

LeviosaaaaaH.
