I don't want to see lightsabers used the way that they were used against droids in the prequels. When an army with blasters comes at you, you use a blaster.

 Have you seen Star Wars?  Do the words "clumsy" or "random" mean anything to you?

That was according to the guy who said that Vader betrayed and murdered Anakin, and Luke didn't seem very clumsy and random when he was shooting Stormtroopers on the Death Star.

Adding in references to the Sith.

No PT robes whatsoever. It makes no sense for Jedi to dress like Tatooinian moisture farmers.

He uses the dark side to prolong his life. The deformities are a result of this dark side use. The Making of books for ESB and ROTJ make it clear that this was the intent in 1980 and 1983.

He uses the dark side to keep his frail, aging body going.

This.

What Luke goes through on Yavin in The Star Wars Story Synopsis from 1973 is very similar to what Exar Kun goes through on the same planet in Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith.

*ponders pointing out yet again that Lucasfilm, not Disney is developing this series*

Ponders pointing out that we get the point. 

In response to the recent rumors: Luke turning to the dark side is the worst thing that could possibly happen. It would ruin everything that's happened so far.

If all those rumors are true, it looks like instead of a glorious restoration of the Republic in the galaxy, the general treatment follows something of the history of western civilization, this trilogy being the Middle Ages of the star wars universe.

A disorganized "federative" (feudal) system where the [Western roman empire] Empire was beaten by the rebels, and a fully alive Empire in the remnant rim [Eastern roman empire]. All glimpse of old "pagan" religions, both Sith and Jedi, banned and replaced by something new; technological stasis in the upper social spheres, while involution in the lower ones, the everlasting issue of the limit between the Empire and this "federation"...etc. Crusades? Qu Ran rising?

Just a thought tho; I'm not sure if that's a treatment i would be interested to watch, but why else would the characters be amazed at a lightsaber, Luke a fugitive, the Empire fully alive and well (chrome troopers are quite a luxury).

On the Republic: I don't want to see one in VII. We saw a Republic in the prequels, and we all know how that turned out.

On Jedi and Sith being "pagan" religions: Star Wars (1977) made them seem like something from biblical times. I'd love to see a galaxy that's moved past them. (Interestingly, early screenplays described the Sith as a group of bounty hunters hired by The Emperor, not an ancient conspiracy that The Emperor is part of).

Pessimistic philosophy (such as "there will always be evil"). Star Wars is supposed to cheer us up, not depress us.

I'd love to see that on Robot Chicken.

Every publicly released version of every film should be made available.  Simples.

 And, yet, it's so hard to do for some reason.

It's not hard. There was just an unwilling owner for 35 years.

Kurtz once said that Palpatine wasn't supposed to appear until IX, but then GL condensed V-IX into V-VI. I would have loved a longer arc from ANH to Palpatine's death.

All the character power level pettiness. There's constant arguing and even exagerrated statements within the EU about who the most powerful character of all time is.

As for the Sith Corsair, can you link to an episode if you're referring to the CGI Clone Wars that is.

Here it is. 

The Merchant said: The Sith corsair?

yup

The Merchant said:

Cause Revan and Malak took over a good chunk of the Galaxy while the Sith Brotherhood had a small amount, not to mention Malak bombed and left so many planets dead. I don't recall Kun and Ulic doing that. 

Have you heard of the Dark Reaper? Did you see the map in The Essential Atlas?

The Clone Wars story reels have some interesting impications about the Corsair.

spoiler alert

Are Kyber Crystals the source of the Death Star's power?

Is that a yellow lightsaber I see? *swoon*

*swoon seconded*

They could remove the celebrations from future special editions.

What I don't understand is that if episode 7 is based on Lucas' synopsis, that the empire and alliance are in a cold war with both sides having equal power, why didn't he allow this idea to be used in the EU back in 1987 when he let Zahn do Heir to the Empire?

Was Lucas' original intention to have a New Republic with the Empire defeated (as in Zahn's trilogy) and now after all these years he decided to change that for episode 7?  Or did he never approve of the EU and just let it go on since he knew he would erase it with whatever sequel trilogy he ended up doing?

Earth-616 and the Marvel Cinematic Universe don't always do the same thing. The EU and episodes 7-9 are the same situation.

The EU has been dead to me for a long time. I won't miss it one bit.

Han and Motti claim that The Force never existed, but never do they claim that the Jedi never existed.

Most people today don't believe in Zeus, but they don't deny that the Greeks existed.

Seconded.

How about an evil Whill?
