First of all... if the EU or SW.com doesn't count as "answers" then what does? To fill in the blanks that the movies don't cover is what the EU is out there for and it is an area of battle in which I know extensively...
Secondly... from your wording, I get a sense of the movies being the end all and be all concerning the saga in terms of canon information... If that is the case then why are we in a forum concerning CHANGING things in the movie and making things as continuitous as possible?
but the characters they portray are the same age and younger than the real actors age. That is an established fact concerning the movies we do get from the movies...
Answers that comes only from the movie. Things you got it only from it. Ady himself said that OT was superior from PT because you got whats going on on screen and never run to any sw.com and search there what is supposed to going on, onscreen. EU is so unstarwars-y because it explains everything like star trek or any other sci fi movie. Star wars movies dont do that.! We dont know what fuel the ships are burning we dont know where they sleep or eat or or or...All these are useless explanations.If beru throws a vegetable in what she was cooking then thats it. No need to listen "go and gather spacecarrots that have spacevitamins from the vaporators." Or when a random dude fills the an xwing in ANH, im sure they will finaly say"(place name here, and lets have his backstory) filled the t-65 x-wing with 10 gallons or spacefuel that was rare on yavin and contains spaceoctane. Thats why if you remember i tried to make a list of what we know only from the movies and not from any other source.. EU is Rick Olie of the star wars saga...
Secondly im coming from an other "school" or whatever you can call it. I like changing things for the sake of it. Thats why i like to OTize the PT or the opposite around or just messing with changes. To me they are just movies and an interesting playground to play with.
Thats why i said that Leia IMO looks like 25 and and not 21 or 18 in the movies. IMO always
Anyways back to ESB:R

"IMO"... right... concerning your language in your statements you were throwing out the idea that because of your objection to the EU or what not, that they bear no relevance to the previous conversation of Princess Leia being a military leader in the Rebel Alliance. IMO it does...
No, I don't think this information needs to be relayed IN the movies to the audience as GL now feels this needs to explain everything he's done more recently which is retarded. However, your mocking tone at this point only serves to degrade this conversation into a furball I do not wish to participate in... not here anyway.
I was only offering the explanation to someone else that the movie does not, not fully anyway, and it's sole purpose was to counter a rather wrong idea (also IMO) to cut Leia's briefing the troops on Hoth, not debate the merit of EU in Revisited. You wanna go head to head against me on the merits of EU or lack there of I'm game anytime, anywhere (including here if you wish to force the issue further than you already have)... but interjecting for the sole sake of bashing the EU cos some consider it viable is arrogance regardless of what "school" you come from.
No, I don't think the EU should be in Revisited, NOT AT ALL. However, it IS an arena in which I know incredibly well and can directly relate into the movies because it does have it's good points. There are a lot of points I don't like in EU either but I'm not gonna bash anyone that do.
I do agree that this does not help Ady what so ever so let's take this to PMs Angel... As I said, I'm more than game.
I apologize to everyone else for this pointless show.
