What do you want to see or not want to see in the future?

You know, I'm actually just glad to know that from now on, everything will have to go through some real scrutiny in order to get put out there.

Hopefully that scrutiny means no more stupid stories that break continuity, no more forceful retconning to make everything jive, hopefully less emphasis on the Prequels.

I'm just glad for a real, united Star Wars canon.

This. I'm so glad to say goodbye to the DC-like "canon" that was the EU.

I agree. Some people dislike the idea of canon altogether, but I don't mind it at all, provided there is actually canon and not a big mess of contradictions peddled as canon.

My preference, from favorite to leaat favorite:

1. No canon at all.

2. A canon that actually makes sense.

3. "A big mess of contradictions peddled as canon."

The EU was in reality the third entry on my list. Clashes between authors were blatant.

All I really want to see from the nuEU is no more prequelisms in eras outside of the PT and no more NJO/LOTF/Legacy-styled dark futures.

Oh, and some stories dealing with parallel universes.

You have no idea how much I would enjoy reading a story set in a universe in which Vader's family appears and Vader is their last name.

There's also some things that I think should remain mysterious in the nuEU and the spin-offs. These things include the history of the Sith and the origin of the Dagobah cave.
