Lit Disney Wars: Episode 7 and the EU (Disney Purchasing Lucasfilm, intends to release Ep 7 in 2015)

Get this: a quick search reveals that Vector Prime alone has sold just over 10,000,000 copies since its release in 1999....!

That's a bit more than 20 fans.

Also there's this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books#At_least_100_million_copies

Those 20 fans sure have a lot of money to spend.

Well certainly a lot more than the Twilight fans seem to have.

Have there really been 300+ books? Or is that also short stories/young readers/etc?

That includes everything, I believe. There's about 100 adult books.

Of course, we just couldn't compete with Harry Potter, oh wait, I am a Harry Potter fan too, well if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

IIRC, there's way more than 100 adult books. I mean, if you're going to call stuff like Jedi Trial "adult".

that depends

do we include Jedi Academy Trilogy as "adult"?

At one point I actually counted... for the record I'm considering "adult" whatever is blue on this list. Too busy to count right now (only reason I'm even here is because I'm supposed to be working on a paper and am in the middle of zoning off ), but I seem to remember there was something like 130.

"Blue" and "adult" do usually go together, yes.

Looks like the Disney buyout as taken a toll on Star Wars: 1313.

Kind of odd, I thought when Disney bought Lucasarts they said that current projects would be safe.

I don't trust kotaku

By now, I'd have thought 1313 was all but developed (albeit, it hasn't met my original prediction of a 1/3/13 release date), so seems odd that they'd pull the plug this late in the development cycle and it all have just been wasted money.

Maybe it's too dark for them and the protagonist needs to be switched to Ahsoka.

Sounds more like they have not actually done anything with it since December.

It's happened before (Battlefront III).

Oh well then. We just have to wait another 3-5 years before we get all the cancelled stills and patchy footage up on youtube.

My eyes! My eyesssss!

You shoudn't post stuff like that, it'll give them ideas.

"Look here, fans don't want dark and gritty. What they really want is Skyguy and R-Tooie."

uh no we dont.

In good old George fashion, they'll say making Ahsoka the protagonist was their vision all along, and that the video clips we've seen so far were deliberate red herrings, like Solid Snake being made out to be the MGS2 protagonist.

Edit: Did I just compare Ahsoka turning out to be 1313's main character to Raiden? I... I don't know which I feel is worse.

So, new rumors here

Solo child and grandchild the possible focus of ST.

Also, maybe new Zahn books in the pipeline???

It's what I've been saying all along


I can't wait for all the movie purists to be forced to accept the EU.

I'm not going to dance a jig in the EVII forum just yet, but let's just say I'm practicing...
