I don't think that the Prequels mesh as well as I would have liked with the EU (which Lucas seems to have completely disregarded).

Point 1: Boba Fett- Originally was a man banished from the planet Concord Dawn. Now, he's a clone copy of the same man used as the template for the stormtroopers??


Over the years there have been many different tales of Boba's origins, if you read the Dark Empire comic series they reveal Boba Fett to have once been an Imperial Stormtrooper. He's also been the last survivor of the Mandalore Battle Commandoes (which if you now do any background research on the OS ha snow been handed over to Jango), a Journey man named Jaster Merell etcetc

I can't remember where I read it, but that question was once posed to some lacky at Lucasfilm who replied "the many myths of Boba Fetts origins are part of an elaborate deception scheme to confuse potential assassins/would be competitors"

Point 2: Clones- This is slightly more dependant on EP3, but where are the Spaarti Cloning Cylinders?? For that matter, who/what are Spaarti??


Ahh the blessed EU, throws up so many amazing ideas that get poo-poo'd by the movies.....I've always thought of the Spaarti cloning tanks as being one of many sources for cloning.

Point 3: Ships- Again, this is more dependant on EP3, but where are the Dreadnaughts, Alderaanian War Frigates, Republic TIEs, Z-95 Headhunters?


theres 20 years between eps 3 & 4, thats a lot of time for new ships to come be wheeled out of the production line, plus we dont know for sure what ships we are going to see in Ep3, it has been suggested we will see early prototypes of some Ep4 ships

Point 4: Events- I'm hoping we get some mention of Thrawn and/or the Outbound Galaxy Project. So many have said that Lucas likes the Zahn Trilogy best, that it holds truest to the spirit of Star Wars, yet Lucas has yet to do anything that shows that the Zahn books fit into his own story.


Um Zhan created Coruscant.......nuff said!
