Should Luke die or should he not?

I think the biggest thing going against the NJO is that it paved the way for the really shittastic Legacy era.

The Sith return, another member of the Skywalker clan falls to the dark side, there's another galactic civil war, the Empire is reborn, the Jedi are once against hunted down to near-extinction by the Sith -- bleech! It actually makes the PT look good by comparison!

 This. This forever.

It's official. RT @KnightsArchive BREAKING: LucasBooks has confirmed to us that The Essential Characters has been cancelled. #StarWars #SWEU

Is the EU dead?

In addition to wanting the Sith to return, TFN wants the Jedi to think that the Sith are extinct again and they want the Sith to rule the galaxy again and they want the Sith to self-destruct again.

^I think he mentioned sometime ago that he liked the Dawn of the Jedi comics (or parts of them, anyway).

I did say that I like the Dawn of the Jedi comics.

By the way, my EU hate was largely a reaction to TFN's religous fundamentalist-like EU worship. 

I wonder what's up with this inquisitor guy. What kind of training does he have and from who?

I like the Plagueis novel. It provides much-needed info about Palpatine and Sofo-Dyas.

TFN's getting worse all the time.

 I agree. Somebody there said that the EU is more important than ESB!

On TFN they can't seem to grasp the concept of a villain who's not a Sith.

 the EU takes everything seriously.

Kreia. With every single Jedi becoming a Sith in the EU, she's right that the galaxy would be better off without The Force. However, I hate how her "Sith is an idea" comment gets parroted by fans who won't let the Sith die.

Even TFN hates the R2 Padme stuff.

How every single person who appears in even one frame is really important.

IG-88

"Sith is an idea". Sith is NOT an idea, but that line of Kreia's has indocrinated to TFN to point that they want all villains with sabers to be called "Sith".

The sith thing has come up before, I believe it is only mentioned in the ANH novel. Whether the intention was for this to be an organisation, or just a throwaway name who knows...

Personally I'd love to see the 'Sith' gone from the PT. If any Jedi can just fall to the DARK SIDE without necessarily buying into this secret organisation it makes the idea of turning bad far easier and much more tragic.

Any of us can become evil, angry or violent, we don't necessarily have to join an organisation to do so.

 I totally agree.

if we leave the Sith out of the story, a questions remains: why is Vader the Lord of the Sith ? (is this really mentioned in the OT ?)

 The word, "Sith" is not in the OT. At all.

Replace Anakin and Qui-Gon's conversation about what midis are with a conversation about who the Sith are. I've heard people ask "What is a Sith?"

Or better yet, remove the word "Sith" from all three movies.

Abrams, the Sith died in ROTJ.

 We get it! You don't like the continuations of the Empire or the Sith! You have expressed this opinion on SEVERAL different occasions! Let! It! Goooooooo!

 I feel like that would be counter to the entire ethos of this forum.

Same here. For the most part, this entire forum is people repeating, "the prequels suck."

Abrams, the Sith died in ROTJ.

Mielr said:I still cherish my OT "ART OF" books (pre-SE). I think they were very well done.

 Art of ESB is the first place to use the word, "mandalorian".

I absolutely don't want a shallow action movie. I want politics in the sequel trilogy.

Twilight, Transformers, Batman & Robin

I never watched the first two (and never will)

 good decision

Remember, people, that George is still in the background for Episode VII, and has anyone forgotten about the hype for Episode I 15 years back? With Abrams being a Spielberg clone at best, we might have another perfect storm in our hands. Hopefully Abrams has more respect for SW than he had for ST.

Thank you. We can't assume that Lucas is the only bad director in the world.

I'd love to see IG-88 and Yularen. IG-88 because the EU story about him has so many problems and Yularen because to connect The Clone Wars, Rebels, and ANH.

Should the Empire be anti-alien or not?
