Incidentally Zombie there's some weird stuff going on with the main site of Secret History of Star Wars, and my browser's warning me not to go there due to certain risks. Might just be me, but I wanted to mention it just in case it was happening with anyone else.

You're not the only one getting the warning.

In such a world, assuming the only difference is the PT>OT reversal and that all the other game pieces - Lucas' personality at the time, the people he worked with, personal issues, etc. remained the same, we would have gotten a stellar PT (really OT) and a flashy-but-crappy OT (really SE).

Dania Wilson-Holland

She's not a celebrity, though she has the looks to be one. She was the love of my life, the only girl I ever loved. For eight years I pined after her, all to no avail. All my love was unrequited, all for nothing. She helped me find God, she helped me lose faith in Him. In the end, nothing mattered.

Yes, I have been drinking. Leave me alone.

I'm currently reading Stargate SG-1: The Barque of Heaven by Suzanne Wood.

It's okay, I guess, but since I'm not really a fan of SG-1 anymore, I'm not really into it; I'm only reading the book to see how good the retcon the author created to explain away one of the many discrepancies between the show and the original movie is.

I'm interested to know what retcon that is. I'm not a huge fan of the movie or the series, but I get some enjoyment out of both. Do you refer to the nature of the symbiotic relationship between alien/god and host?

That's it indeed.

I haven't read far enough into the book to have even received hints of how the retcon works, but it's bound to be better than the pseudo-official "Ra-once-had-an-Asgard-host" retcon.

I've never seen X-Men 3, mainly because I hated X-Men 2 and felt no need to see more or what I assumed would be the same. The same goes for the prequels, too.

Now I'm wishing for a reboot of the X-Men films, one based on the classic comics from the '60s, with no Wolverine in sight. God, if only I was a Hollywood bigwig ...

Yellow Submarine is one of only two movies I've ever rated a perfect 10/10, but I haven't watched it since 2007 or so; I really should see it again to see how I'd feel about it now.

While not a fantastic movie, the most enjoyable part of Thor was that same antagonist before he develops more grandiose schemes, and I like him far better. He's actually quite sympathetic and interesting, and I don't know if I'd appreciate that as much had I seen the films in the correct order. Just my thought.

You just summed up the only thing about Thor that was actually good.

Does Scott consider any of the sequels canon, though? If he doesn't, then he probably isn't going to go out of his way to make Prometheus mesh with them.

^True for some parts of the EU, not true for others; it varies, really.

Star Wars Purist said:

I love most of the Marvel Comics, especially the Baron Tagge/"The Wheel" issues, and as my user-name implies, I don't care if they're considered below the "C-Canon" that most EU work falls under. In my mind, the Prequels are beneath "Non-Canon" since they completely ruin my interpretation and enjoyment of the Original Star Wars films and work.

...

As weird or different as Marvel's Star Wars comics got, they never got as "non-canon" as the Prequels did.

Agree with you 100% there. Except for the post-ROTJ stories - which were often hit-or-miss and, unfortunately IMHO, depicted the entire Empire as basically defeated following the film - I love the Marvel comics, love the pure funness and spirit of adventure inherent in those stories, and consider almost all of the entire run firmly part of my personal canon.
