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

Depends on how far away he was blown by the airflow - and who are usually quick on the scene after disasters? Looters! Even without weapons, Chewie would be quite a formidable opponent. Add a (non-fatal) bang on the head to give him amnesia and....

I've been contemplating the entire EU future given the sequels and Disney for a few weeks now. I think I've come to lose hope. I know we all hoped that the sequels get placed late in the post-ROTJ timeline and respect the EU. However, my new speculation on the most likely answer is that the future LFL will simply give up on the idea of EU continuity. I think it is going to head the way of Star Trek novels. From the Disney perspective, that is the best case scenario. They can continue to sell any of the previous material that continues to sell well. Also, it will allow any new tie-in novels to the sequels to use what they like from the EU and disregard the rest.

The original topic was "coming up with retcons for things that we have no reason to believe will happen"?

I assume most of us have heard the Colin Trevorrow rumor by now. Bleeding Cool just posted this interview from all the way back in June, which some may remember is around when Pablo found out the ST was happening. Skip to 21:45.

Directing? Who knows. But I suddenly just got in a much bigger hurry to see Safety Not Guaranteed.

Also, Aubrey Plaza.

Aaand, apparently he denied it on Twitter last night. So back to square one I guess.

Do you know if Mike Vejar is still directing? He did it for Babylon 5, and IMHO, did a pretty good job -- at least he would be experienced with the genre.

Anakin said that the air was igniting. So how is there time for Chewie to be rescued? I don't think it is realistic

Colin Trevorrow... Bleeding Cool... Aubrey Plaza... Safety Not Guaranteed...

I don't recognise any of these things.

He also said that "We didn't even know where the wind had taken Chewie, or if he was even still alive". That was about four seconds before Moon impact. If he's outside the immediate impact zone, then there is (hope you're not Corellian) a fair chance. The secondary ejecta would be thrown up in an arc and would probably land some km away.

There's an awful lot in SW that isn't realistic, what's one more?

I only just now realized... Disney will maybe not just give us more Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies... but also revive other Lucasfilm goldmines:

HOWARD THE DUCK SEQUEL!!!

and even better, my beloved (honestly, I adore this movie) WILLOW needs sequels... or the sequel novel trilogy turned into movies cause I absolutely love those books as its sequels!

heck, if the air is ignited or sucked away into space... a Wookiee can still survive as long as an Aing Ti teleporter gets to him in time..

only that I did not mean it as a joke, my friend though I'd prefer more WILLOW, especially given the popularity of Hobbit, LOTR and Game of Thrones.. Willow fits many fans needs and would rock if revived. Give me more Warwick Davis any day!

hated Howard the duck

I am married to someone that would be very excited to see more WILLOW movies.

I'm sorry.

He could also probably tell me what this Howard the Duck thing is, but I'm not interested enough to ask.

Why do I sense a disturbing sexual undertone in that statement?

Do you really want to go there? this was probably the only post of me on TFN in years without a sexual undertone... really!

though I'd have nothing against a sexy young adult Elora Danan in Willow Sequels after all her mother was hot. Oh boy, see there it is again. Stop making me do it!

There were sequel novels to the Willow movie (Shadow Moon, Shadow Dawn, Shadow Star) And yes, a young adult Elora was the protagonist.

They were about as grimdark compared to the Willow movie, as the New Jedi Order novels were to Star Wars.

Because you're a disturbed young man. Who, apparently, as a thing for Warwick Davis.
