    LOL.. I will always consider TCW an alternate canon. Couldn't care less what they say.

    I doubt it will be an if... they'll find away to reference TCW and Rebels not only to make them movie canon but to drive their sales too.

    The only thing from TCW that should be cannon is Hondo Ohnaka.

    Can't cherry pick buddy, but Hondo WOULD be a GREAT addition to the new trilogy. Should his type have a role that is.

    Same here. Bringing back Darth Maul was just a cheap ratings stunt when they realized that creating Maul's long lost brother wasn't getting the job done. AFAIC, Maul got chopped in half and that's that.

    George Lucas wrote some treatments for the ST they were handed over to Arndt & he had a go at them & JJ didn't like it so he threw Arndt's efforts out so you don't know how much of George's treatments are left so in fact a fair bit of the EU could remain.......

    Kyle Katarn, Thrawn and the Vong. Actually let's make it simple: Thrawn. During the Prequels the Chiss were actually fighting the Vong and Mr T kinda wanted to take over the galaxy to prepare it for the Vong invasion. During the OT he also spent a lot of time with Jerec, the later nemesis of Kyle Katarn. I think he and Xizor were also present when the Death Star 2 plans were first discussed. The guy touches the story of pretty much every post-RotJ EU character. Mara jade, Tyber Zann...all of em.

    Pffft. Is he even a Duros?

    Anywho, to the thread. To everyone who says 'I wish this bit of the EU was thrown out as it sux' - you don't. Because if that does get thrown out, then there is nothing to stop them from throwing out what you like. Unless you really want to cut off your nose to spite your face, of course. I dunno, you may not like your nose. Or be a Yuuzhan Vong fan emulating what they love. Assuming that survives in your canon.

    Many options. cosplay, Star Wars fanclubs, cons, fanfiction, fanfilms, toy collecting, role play games, forums, computer games etc.

    Maybe some don't love the face enough to accept the nose.

    Almost all of those options you discussed embrace the expanded universe in some shape or form

    Don't go questioning if he's a Duros? What are you a Yuuzhan Vong fan emulating what they love? :p

    Where you even a Star Wars fan between the Prequals and 2015? 8-}

    I honestly don't expect any direct tie-ins other than indirect references or cameos, like Aayla Secura or the Outrider
    Maybe show us something like a Lightwhip. It would be an interesting variation, actually. I know a lot of you disagree with me there, but it's something I definitely wouldn't mind seeing. The PT gave us some interesting variation with Maul's double bladed saber, so why not mix it up some more?

    Even if it is conceptually silly and over-the-top

    None of it requires love of the EU.

    That's like saying every LARPer loves LotR. My sister doesn't and still loves LARP.

    My point is that you can't pick at removing part of the expanded universe without it all being jeopardised.

    It was a response to the general discussion about removing NJO, LotF etc. In the interest of furthering discussion.

    Except Darth Maul never died in the first place, as revealed in the Darth Maul novel by Ryder Windham. And it didn't matter if Anakin wanted no part of Tatooine in his life, because whether he liked it or not, part of his mission meant going back to that planet (speaking of Anakin, I really like how him and Obi-Wan act like, you know, friends as opposed to how they were portrayed in the prequels).

    Sorry bud, but Star Wars: The Clone Wars is indeed canon (and I love it).

    Correct. Being a SW fan does not necessarily require being a fan of the EU.
