it just seemed like a cheap plot device to even the odds for Thrawn

I was 12 when it came out in the Cinemas and it was my favourite of the trilogy, by about 15 I preferred Empire. So for 3 years it was my favourite film of all time until my tastes matured . As an adult I can see what is wrong with it and what it lacked in hindsight, but at the time it seemedthe perfect ending to the trilogy.

Ysalimiri  to the EU are what Midichlorians were to the film saga

Really hoping these spoilery rumors are true.

 it would be some nice closure for the Clone Wars

its clear from reading the forums that just about everybody has their own take on the saga and what was wrong with the sequels, even if George had done a sterling job, they were always going to have a hard time living up to the expectations of what fans had built in their minds since the original trilogy finished.

remakes and reboots are never going to change that story.

they'll blur that fine line between keeping the absolute purists happy whilst preserving The Original Theatrical Versions in the best possible way in High Definition. I'll be completely honest and say I'd rather see them cleaned up  the way they were for the Faces VHS boxset, with Matte lines etc removed.

so is BB-8 short for Beach-Ball 8?

so Trade Blockades have been replaced by Banking collapses, oh yes, I can see how that taps into the rich mythology of the original Trilogy

X-wings *TICK*,  Millenium Falcon *Tick* Stormtroopers *TICK* Light Sabre *TICK* , R2 Unit *TICK*    looks like the Star Wars universe to me.

I'm not sure if peoples expectations were set too high for what Abrams billed as a glimpse of what they'd been working on, ie half a dozen or so, probably 95% completed effects shots that provide a teaser for a film that still has nearly 12 months of post production before it's release.

I'm sure Luke, Han and Leia are being saved for the full length trailer closer to the films release. Even though they are the known quantity in the franchise, the producers will want to keep them under wraps for the big reveal.

I like it, it didn't leave me with the 'meh' feeling I had when I first heard Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones announced

I'm sure George would consider the Special editions his definitive version of the films, but aside from Hayden appearing as a force ghost, and Han Shot First . There really is nothing in the Special Editions that contradicts the original unaltered cuts of the film.

perhaps a female villain?

I remember hearing at a mini-convention years ago  Justin Dix who worked on the prequels as a droid wrangler said that Kenny Baker only made a token appearence in the prequels and  was only used in 1 or 2 shots and that he wasn't well liked on set

at the end of the day the Revisited series is ADYWAN's vision of how the special editions of the original trilogy could have been. I think that apart from the trememndous skill and creativity and the fact that most of what he has put into the production he has learned and developed along the way, he has always been to open to suggestions and ideas from the forum  since day one.

Its this collaboration with the members of the forum and the fact that we've been able to see these projects evolve over a long space of time that have lead to the support that these edits have, but it never dilutes from our love of the original cuts of the films.

- introduce Anakin as mid-teens, maybe a year or 2 older than Padme

- kill off Schmi in the first film or not have her at all

- Clone Wars begin at end of episode 1

- no Jango Fett and little Boba

- get an actor to play Darth Maul and not just a one dimensional martial arts expert

- Anakin turns to darkside at the end of episode 2 , and Jedi purge takes up episode 3 climaxing with Anakin falling into the volcano 

if Apple designed a stormtrooper, it would look like that

without wanting to drag everything off topic, It just made sense that Vader was keeping Leia and Chewie safe because they were live bait to lure Luke into his trap

The first thing I thought when I saw the EZRA video  was 'Oh it's Aladdin in space' and while neither of the 2 announced characters have really grabbed my attention, I think the relationship dynamic is sounding interesting in an almost Luke and Han dynamic from the first movie.

Obviously Filoni and co have a lot of love for the original trilogy.

I just found this on Wookiepedia:

"...the company responsible for the development of his boosters, was shut down, and his rocket boosters were eventually damaged and thus could not be repaired. Despite this, however, R2 hardly regretted the loss of his ability to fly."

It's like a backwards retcon, haha.

 hardly regretted his ability to fly??  how many times in the original trilogy would boosters kept him out trouble?  he wouldn't have fallen in the swamp and got swallowed on Dagobah, he could have flown to Luke's aid on the sand skiff  etc, etc

just an idea, but I'm sort of leaning towards the idea of Jedi survivors of order 66 coming out of hiding, and while not being darkside, it becomes a clash of OLD JEDI Ways clashing with Luke's way of teaching that causes conflict

but since George overdubbed Jason Wingreen's BOBA  with Temeura Morrison's voice in EMPIRE it seems unlikely that they could kill off Boba and put somebody else in the suit. Whatever they do, I hope the spinoff is set about 5-10 years before A New Hope

is Threepio  dim-witted or just programmed for logic? cos there are plenty of moments in the films where he simply doesn't fully understand human behaviour.

I've always considered the expanded radio plays of the original trilogy to be somewhat canon, in that they don't contradict events in the movies, but I'm pretty sure threepios's  memory is erased of the princess and the Tantive's mission (?) although I'd have to dig them out and listen to them to be sure.
