That was the ROTJ novelization. Also, another notable contradiction in the EU novels was in Splinter of the Mind's Eye, with the sexual attraction present between Luke and Leia. Although I suppose that would be normal if you weren't aware someone was your sibling.

Oh c'mon- next thing you'll tell me that you'd put N'Sync in as Jedi... just because you can. Utter nonsense!



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucas was almost crazy enough to put those guys in AOTC. Thankfully, he didn't.

Sometimes I do wonder what his issue is with continuity and plot elements. I mean, he cut the scene showing the beginning of the rebellion because he claims it "wasn't really important to the stroy." What... the hell? Filming that scene was one of the best decisions he made in tying the two trilogies together. Yet what does he do? He cuts it.

And then the Yoda arriving on Dagobah scne. He cuts it because "we already know where he goes." What? No we don't. Not if we are seeing things for the first time.


Wasn't there a debate a month or so ago on this board about these two scenes getting cut? I agree that they damn well should be in there...especially the Rebellion scene. That was way too important of a development to be left on the cutting room floor.


I do wonder if his decision to cut those scenes and then not edit them into the movie for the DVD was merely a marketing plan so that he could sell his "revised special edition DVD" of ROTS sometime in the future, as Rick McCallum called it.

I'd like to believe that the temple itself is some sort of trophy of the Purge. It's lightened to show like some sort of monument, and symbol of the Jedi's defeat.
I'd also like to believe that no one in the empire, even the Emperor, has been able to enter into it, cause of a Froce protection or keeping spirits, pretty much like old Massassi temples guarded by Sith spirit (in Jedi Academy trilogy books).
Now, we can imagine that, after Coruscant has been took back by the Rebellion (becoming the New Republic), no one, again, has been able to enter into it, even Luke. After all, he's no part of the old Jedi Order and might not know how to open it.

Anyway, it's a story (and I'm not talking about my imagination) that worth a novel. It could be very interesting.
Concerning Lucas, I think he has done that just for the symbolic meaning. At the first plan, we see the falling statue of the Emperor (the fall of the Empire), and in the background, the Jedi Temple still there (the Jedi Order is still alive). It's a pretty good shot, if we don't compare it to the EU...


Agreed.

No. Anything outside of the six films is considered C-level. It doesan't matter if Lucas himself is involved or not. It is stiill considered EU. I mean, he wrote the story and executive produced the Ewok films and wrote the story for the holiday special, yet they are still considered EU. He advised the author and told him what to basically write about for Labyrinth of Evil, yet it is considered EU.
