Well, he was able to do exactly what he wanted to do with the PT, but not with the OT.

Another change I want are the "birth of the rebellion" and "Exiled to Dagobah" scenes reinserted into ROTS.

No, not the fuck ups. I'm referring to the GOOD changes (Hayden as Anakin, Ian as Palps, better CG Jabba in ANH, Greedo and Han shooting at almost the same time, etc.)

I think that if Eps 1 and 2 are worked on, then he should put in the CG Yoda in TPM as he has done, and should add back the "Padme's parents house" scenes to AOTC.

Bizzle, I understand. I'm merely saying that, technically, Lucasfilm considers it all one story. There's no arguing to it. They consider it one story. Lucas may not, you may not, but Lucasfilm the company does. I mean, we all have our own personal canon. Myself, I can't stand those Dark Empire comics that bring Palpatine's spirit back in some clones. Do you honestly think, though, that Star Wars would be as rich and interesting of a universe without the EU? People would know very little about characters without the EU. Take Star Wars: Clone Wars. It is an interesting expansion on what you see in the films. Lucasfilm considers it an expansion on the main story. Hell, even the back cover explains that it bridges the gap. And I believe I write factually accurate wiki articles, for your information. And if I make a mistake? With any mistake I make, my fellow editors correct, and I do the same to them. That is the way a wiki works, and the great thing about wikipedia. And as for Nathan. He's a history teacher. He likes the kind of thing he does. His Star Wars writing is merely an extension of his interest in history.

I don't. Lucas himself has acknowledged the EU. I don't see the problem everyone seems to have with it. He clearly said he has no problem with it in the interview Mr. Bungle posted. I think what you are referring to as "canon" is what Lucasfilm calls "G-canon," which are the films, novelizations, and radio dramas. EU is called "C-canon." It's all canon, just on different levels. Nathan knows, as his 1,000 + page timeline is based solely on their canon policies.

Nope, they are considered one cohesive story. Ask Nathan Butler. He knows EVERYTHING about Star Wars. I mean, the guy has EVERY single EU book, comic, video game, etc. He knows. And after listening to his extensive radio shows, you learn a lot.

Possibly. But Lucas' statement was an offhand comment. I'm sure if he knew about the stories in the Jedi Academy books, he would gladly accept that explanation.

How about this quote by Rick McCallum from the ROTS DVD press screening, when he talks about the live-action TV show? I think it gives you a good idea of what George really thinks of the EU:

"He envisions somewhere like 100 hours between Episode III and Episode IV with a lot of characters that we haven't met but have been developed in other novels and other things."

As you know, he only does it because the originals were nowhere close to hoiw he wanted them. I believe he said ANH was only %25-%30.

Yes, I did. In fact I have it on the wikipedia article for the EU. He put it as best as I can imagine. Yes, he considers it part of Star Wars. But, personally, he doesn't deal in it. Though of course he did when he wrote the stories for the holiday special and the ewok movies, and will be a heavy contributor when the live-action series begins work, and in writing the scripts for the 3D clone wars.

Cassidy, the EU DOESN'T belong in the same league with the films. In fact, if you were familiar with their canon policies, they put the EU directly below the films in terms of deciding what is what. To Lucasfilm, all works not contradicting the films are canon, but the films take precedence when a continuity issue arises. So, it IS all the same story, but on different levels.

How much more clear would you like it?

Lucas himself acknowledged the EU's canonocity. That's about as clear as you can get. And BTW, what's all the hatred in this board everyone seems to have with EU? It expands on the story. Star Wars would be pretty boring at times without the EU.

There shall be no further talk of this here, Cassidy. And my opinions are my own, and don't reflect those of others. That's one of the few great things of the US.

I write much of the stuff on wikipedia, which is in turn based on Nathan Butler's extensive accounts of canon. No, they consider canon to be everything that does not contradict the films. Trust me. Even Lucas has acknowledged this. He just doesn't follow it necessarily when doing his films becuase he retains ultimate creative control. He said, though, that when coming up with a planet or species, etc., he will use already established EU names and such.

I feel your pain. And the geniouses who packaged the bonus DVD's with the ROTS DVD's didn't put shrink rap on the bonus disc case as well, which causes some of the glue to stay on the case when you remove it.

OK, here's my opinions:

2004 SE > OOT > 97' SE

2001: A Space Odyssey = Star Wars Saga

SW > ST

I am also interested in an edit of the original versions of COC and TBFE. There have been very few changes made to them over the years. But there were some. They are listed on the IMDB. Mostly, the changes were to TBFE. I think the only change to COC from the original TV airing was removing the original TV title, which was "The Ewok Advnture." "Caravan of Courage" was the theatrical name, which they chose to use for the DVD.

In actuality, the EU IS canon. Lucasfilm considers it canon. I don't know where you guys are getting the "It's not canon" deal at. What is it exactly that you are defining as canon?

Because he bought it in the first place, I have a feeling he doesn't hate it that bad. If he does, then take MeBeJedi's advice, and put it on the shelf, so that it will serve its purpose.

They do that for all titles that get a large number of hits. It doesn't matter whether the company is planning to release something soon. They use this as a marketing technique. I gave it a five star review, myself, and gave good reasons why. My review is entitled: "A day in the life of a star wars family..." I, personally, really hope somehow, someday, in some form, it is released, preferably on DVD.
