The words "official continuation" on the back cover of Heir to the Empire. The canon nazis have used it to justify all kinds of things.
I want as much focus on the OOT characters as possible. It's not Star Wars without them, prequels be damned.
TCW makes it clear that Maul's tattoos are NOT Sith tattoos. I love how this proves Legacy wrong.

I was convinced Lucas was gonna eventually get around to it before any of this Disney business happened. The guy reversed himself on so many other subjects. Why would the OOT be an exception?
Why wouldn't it be an exception? Not that it really matters, but what was it exactly that George did that made you so convinced?
The guy had destroy orders on original prints FFS...
Lucas has always been far more anti-episode VII than anti-OOT. Lucas said, "There never was going to be an episode VII and my will forbids episode VII from ever being made."

Pre-Bane Darths may never have made an appearance, either.
An RPG sourcebook published in 2001 established that there was a Darth Rivan before Darth Bane.
I also meant to say that before KOTOR was released, Ziost was thought to be the homeworld of the Sith while Korriban was just a tombworld. It makes the whole Korriban/Moraband controversy hilarious.

I wonder how the Sith in the EU would have eventually developed if Karpyshyn had patterned Revan and Malak after the Sith in TOTJ instead after the Sith in the PT.
Good question. We definitely wouldn't have all those movie Sith lookalikes. Bane would have a purple lightsaber (I love that picture in the character guide).
Is this throwing out the prequels and the SEs? The prequel/SE Emperor resembles the ROTJ Emperor far more than he resembles the Clive Revill Emperor.
Or are you saying that the differences between the ROTS makeup and the ROTJ makeup are because the ROTJ Emperor is a clone?
Everybody knows that god looks like this:
How all I hear about is how awesome Revan is and how epic the SWTOR trailers are. News flash: Revan is just a generic Sith and the SWTOR trailers are just a bunch of generic Jedi and Sith.
The Empire making people forget about the Clone Wars and the Jedi. Not only were those things the basis of the Empire's formation, but people don't forget things just because the government wants them to.
How everybody uses Lucas's name to deflect blame off themselves. Lucas may have written the prequels, but that doesn't make Karpyshan any less guilty of writing KOTOR.
Qui-Gon (Force Ghost voice): I'm Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan's master.
Luke: Obi-Wan said Yoda was his master.
Qui-Gon: Obi-Wan doesn't speak literally. You should know that by now.

And with the evils that are Legacy and SWTOR, it won't be missed.
Somebody time-traveled to 1999, saw Jar Jar, went back to their own time, and created Vampires so that Jar Jar would look good in comparison.
Some cool TPM concept art that I found.
How its fans claim that every single aspect of it is a fundamental component of Star Wars and MUST be in episodes 7-9.
It was just pointed out to me that in the "Moraband" episode, Sidious speaks the same language that Kun learned on Yavin IV.
Denning's literal interpretation of Mortis. What's next? A book on how Luke-faced Vader moved into a cave on Dagobah?
We know that not everybody's body dissappears. In ANH, Vader is confused when Obi-Wan's body dissappears.

I've come to see Palpatine as a complete nihilist who believes that that the dark side is an all-consuming chaos which will eventually destroy everything in existence.
Are you implying that Palpatine wants to destroy everything in existence? If so, why does he want to destroy everything in existence?
No. I see Palpatine as someone who is so afraid of annihilation that he is willing to do the one thing he believes can save him from it -- embracing the dark side so fully that he eventually merges with the dark side itself, preserving himself through it. Everything else in existence -- the Jedi, the Sith, the Empire, the Rebellion, etc. -- are either tools to be used in his quest for ascension or obstacles to removed from his path.
Interesting.

One of the animatics for ROTS make Grievous appear to be Maul reborn as a cyborg, but I've no idea if that was a idea Lucas was considering or the animators having fun with it.
I was surprised that Grevious wasn't Maul.

Am I the only one who got the impression from the OOT that Anakin was NOT famous? Luke doesn't know that he was a Jedi and nobody even suspects that he's Vader.
Is it just me or does reusing old concepts tend to harm the Saga? In ROTJ, reusing old concepts gave us Ewoks and the Death Star II while the new content (the Throne Room scenes) proved to be among the greatest parts of the Saga. In TPM, reusing old concepts gave us midichlorians.
