Yes gotta say I'm very excited. I'm not one who thinks that it should have been left alone. There's so much to think about and so much more that could happen. All very exciting. I'm currently reading some of the expanded universe novels. Really enjoying hem and until recently didn't know a whole lot about the E.U. So much to learn!
I'm the same, Star Wars has so much potential and I'm glad it will continue, here's to the 2015 countdown! There is a lot of great EU material out there, if your going chronological then I recommend the Tales of the Jedi comic series, they are epic. Welcome amigo, my great aunt used to live in Halifax before er....becoming one with the Force I hope FFUK: North picks up again, this place was pretty active when I joined way back when.
The whole FanForce used to be more active, shame really. Welcome new members, please feel free to join our facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/319023707835/?ref=ts&fref=ts
I've just finished Darth Plaguius which was an awesome read. Also read Lost tribe of the sith and Legacy of the Jedi. Don't think the comics are for me tbh, pondered reading them though. Got Revan to start next.
I've never been big on the written EU stuff myself, some of it is good but given how much the movies and TV stuff alter what gopes on I find it best not to take it too seriously or else I get angry.
Yay a fellow Novocastrian casting? Hmmm hard to say, I do hope Mark Hamill is in it though (in some capacity)
