If Rinzler went through the trouble and did the research and already wrote the book on Episode I why would Disney just pull the plug. That is nonsensical.

Its like the rumor of them pulling the plug on the whole EU during or after 2014. I mean in terms of Del Rey books and Dark Horse comics. But they cancelled that star wars game and cancelled clone wars. So i guess anything is possible.

The period of between 1983 and 1999 really interest me. What aborted concepts for the prequels for instance they had originally been planned to come out in 1988. According i think to the making of Jedi but a few years off became 16. What were the original outlines for the sequel trilogy ?

I know a lot of this is explored in Zombie's book but from official rather than 3rd or 2nd hand sources would be nice.

What i mean is real planning and treatments or ideas for the prequels and sequels not the bullshit Lucas told the press.
