I think its very likely the movies will ignore parts if not all of the EU.

Well, we'll just have to ignore the movies, now, won't we? *sage nod*

Considering that Star Wars has a stratified canonicity with movies and television paramount, no.

With my expectations for next Star Wars being sooo low, I guess anything better than prequels will please me ;) with JJ at the helm, I believe this can turn out pretty good ;)

question is, will they be TV, straight-to-DVD/BlueRay/etc...?

Oh no these will be full on big screen movies.

I wonder how credible this is

If true, that means they had damn well better keep the EU versions. Sure, people protested the JJ-Trek, but at least it's an alternate reality (and it explicitly says so in the movie itself!), and the characters we knew were sorta the same. I wonder if the same excuse will be made for the JJ-Wars. Because otherwise, mark my words, there will be blood.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #106 on:** February 19, 2013, 01:45:53 AM »

I doubt they'll follow EU, mark my words.

The most IMO they'll use is the names, but not any of the stories. They want to make their own mark on the Star Wars universe.

Bones · « **Reply #107 on:** February 19, 2013, 03:38:25 AM »

So if that's true... it's another kids movie like The Phantom Menace ... oh boy ...

Darran · « **Reply #108 on:** February 19, 2013, 04:44:30 AM »

Who says the children will actually be children, it could be set to pick up when they are a similar age to luke and leia in ep 4... so 19

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #109 on:** February 19, 2013, 10:57:58 AM »

Exactly, they didn't say they would be children just that they would be THE children.

Considering Mark, Carrie and Harrison's ages, the kids would be adults.

Bones · « **Reply #110 on:** February 19, 2013, 12:52:42 PM »

Could be like that, then it makes it teenagers movie

I hoped for Thrawn's trilogy TBH , but it would be impossible to just make one without Harrison Ford, Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee Williams ... as far as I remember it was set few years or so, after ep 6... which would mean none of above mentioned could play their part anymore due to their age

Last thing I want is to see Han, Luke and Leia played by different actors

So later setting like their kids time period could work well ;)

The thing is, the EU is going to get swept under the rug. It always will. You know why? Screen canon takes precedence over book canon. Not that I give a damn, after a certain point the books started getting stupid anyways.

To add to that, the sequal trilogy was apparently already in-progress before the Disney deal happened.

Also, someone mentioned an interview in the 90s when George was getting the prequals underway that Mark Hamill wanted a part but George said no but told him that "I'll need you in 2011". Old George was already planning on eventually making a third trilogy 15-ish years ago.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #116 on:** March 11, 2013, 02:25:16 PM »

Clone Wars has been cancelled, have no idea if this has to do with Disney, there is a video talking about the show here and continuing the story, including never before seen footage.

http://starwars.com/news/a-new-direction-for-lucasfilm-animation.html

The fact they have full quality episode footage of an episode they have not released must mean they're still doing something. Possibly a web series.

086gf · « **Reply #117 on:** March 11, 2013, 02:57:50 PM »

What?! Thats crap I hope they do indeed have it continue as a web series.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #118 on:** March 11, 2013, 03:31:01 PM »

The link also mentions

We are exploring a whole new Star Wars series set in a time period previously untouched in Star Wars films or television programming.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #119 on:** March 11, 2013, 10:40:58 PM »

I'm gonna be honest. While there is at least one storyline left hanging(lookin at you Maul), I felt the Season 5 finale was fitting for a series finale.
