Lit The Lucas Universe Timeline

There was an an interview or quotes of Lucas about the Force Unleashed just look for it i dont understand the Hate that some Fans have for the Force Unleashed and about Lucas Canon Lucas always changed his mind for him Star Wars was the Story of Darth Vader then he said it was about the Skywalker Family i think at some point Clone Wars Multimedia Project was Canon too before TCW Show

 

Theres no ‘hate.’ It’s just that these projects are like the rest of the EU.

 

Was there though? AFAIK that was all secondhand marketing speak - I doubt such an interview exists where he says what you claim he said. And if even you, the one making the claim, can't be bothered looking for it, why would you expect anyone else to?

 

Lucas said a lot of things strictly for marketing purposes. However his actions usually said something different.

 

I want to add the Force Unleashed 1 because i want more Content for the Lucas Universe

Just try to search for that quote from Lucas plus Lucas appeared in a Special Event of the Premiere of the Force Unleashed 1 Video Game

 

Some quotes here about Lucas specifically not considering it a chapter in his saga.

 

Says Pablo Hidalgo Aka the Biggest Hater of the Old EU

Those are very helpful, thanks. This link in particular confirms what was certainly my understanding:


Ultimately, I don't think it makes sense to get too hung up on what George considers "Canon". What's important are the stories that appeal to you and speak to you specifically. We'll never definitively prove that our favourite pretend stories matter more than other ones in an internet debate, and I don't understand that need which so many people feel to engage in those arguments.

 

...You know who Pablo is, right? Like, have you read any of his books?

 

I think you are listening to too many clickbait artists.

 

Its just Lucas being Lucas remember that Lucas was the reason of why Quinlan Vos survived Order 66 in the last arc of the Republic Comics Lucas always changed his Vision about what is Canon if the EU was always considered an Alternative Universe then why does Lucas bother to save Quinlan Vos in those Comics?

 

He probably wanted to use him in the Underworld show that never ended up happening. Or he just liked the look and didn't want him to die. Or he had orange juice with his breakfast instead of coffee that morning. Who knows?

 

Yes Lucas wanted to use Quinlan for Underworld Show but if the EU or Clone Wars Multimedia Project was never Canon then why he saved Quinlan if Republic Comics are not Canon to his World? i dont think Lucas cared about Canon that much outside of the 6 Original Movies he said that Darth Talon was in the Comic Books

 

With regard to the Star Wars books and comics, a major part of the appeal is the idea that they "count" as part of the universe. That was a big part of the reasoning behind the 2014 reboot — so that the tie-ins for the new films could still be marketed as additional chapters in the saga.

It seems to me that Lucas was very willing to place limits on writers to preserve that idea of a single timeline (what some might call an illusion), but was himself unwilling to accept constraints placed by others on his universe. Which I think is fair enough.

 

Sorry for the double post, but it just occurred to me:

Katie Lucas' role in the creation of the Dark Disciple arcs before the Disney purchase only further emphasises that the Republic comics were a source of inspiration for "Canon" stories to draw from, rather than "Canon" stories themselves. Very similar to how "Legends" material is adapted now for new stories.

 

To a point. However it's pretty clear from a business standpoint that he wanted to make it sound like they still counted because he knew they would sell better. Look at how well Star Wars books and comics sell compared to other tie in fiction. It doesn't sell that well just because it's Star Wars.

 

George really wasn't doing that. I mean, in 2005 he was literally saying the post-ROTJ he would write wouldn't have Luke get married or have kids.

It was the head of Lucas Licensing that was telling consumers the EU was official even as, according to George, he had sold Lucas on having books and comics that were a parallel universe like Trek's books and comics.

Which kind of really pokes holes in just how involved GL was with much of what went down with LFL as a company overall. He certainly didn't turn down the moneymaking potential, but he wasnt paying close enough attention to put his foot down on saying the EU and his works were distinct Star Wars universes. Nevertheless, KJA's introduction to the Dark Empire tpb literally says that none of it is canon to Lucas and that if he ever writes sequels it probably won't have anything to do with what the EU did.

 

I believe that the Clone Wars Multimedia Project was Canon at some point before TCW Show between 2002 and 2005 to find out what was happening in the Clone Wars you needed to Read the Clone Wars Multimedia Project its like now when you Read the Comics or Novels of the Disney ST Era during the 2000s for those Fans those Comics or Novels of the Multimedia Project were Canon and about the EU Lucas said he never cared about the Post ROTJ Timeline because he didnt want to make a Sequel Trilogy
