Mark Hamill will be too old for that - He's 60. Luke founded the Jedi Academy when he was around 30. Luke didn't start building the New Jedi Order until he was a Master anyway.

The Jedi Academy Trilogy is the story of how Luke started to build the NJO. I, Jedi is another book that fits into this timeline.

Luke's New Jedi Order is a lot different than the Order of old, and arguably a lot better in its philosophy.

So you want to see Exar Kun, Gantoris, Streen, and all those folks. Good Story, but I don't think they'll do it.

they could recast Luke, I know that might sound blashemy. But really I don't know another compelling story line.

Provided they stuck to the material, I'd be fine with a recast. That said, I don't think they'd stick with the existing material.

There's the Vong War, there's the Solo Twins, there's Luke and Mara's romance, there's the Thrawn trilogy...

The only thing they won't touch is the Dark Empire storyline - the Resurrection of Palpatine and Luke's fall to the Dark Side.

If I had to place a bet, I'd say they'd focus on the Twins.

I know the solo twin stuff I think, but what's the Vong War and the Thrawn Trilogy? I haven't read SW novels in years and years. So I'm a little rusty post ROTJ.

Wookieepedia is your friend.

The Yuuzhan Vong are an extra-galactic race of invaders that use bizarre organic biotechnology. This is basically the Reaper War of Star Wars. They exist completely outside the Force, and are from a galaxy that is separate from the SW galaxy. It's regarded as the most devastating period of galactic history (roughly 365 trillion beings were killed.) There's actually references to the Vong in KotOR and other sources. The Vong have been planning their invasion for thousands of years, and Palpatine actually found out about them - it's one reason (among many others) why he wanted to destroy the Jedi and make the Galaxy into an Empire: he felt the Jedi would be too passive in dealing with the threat, and that the Galaxy wouldn't have the military capability of fighting them. That's why he initiated such a huge build up during the time of the Empire.

And you don't know about Thrawn? This was the book trilogy that pretty much kicked off the Expanded Universe. This trilogy is considered the holy grail of Star Wars novels.

At present, the current timeline extends to 138 years After the Battle of Yavin (ABY).

The Battle of Yavin is the chronological date system that all SW canon follows. The novels have gone up to 45 ABY (41 years after RotJ).

The Vong sound kinda cool. It would be different I guess. And the novels by zahn I read years and years ago. I read Heir to the Empire and Dark Force rising, this is probably about 9 maybe 10 years ago. Those books were good, I never read the last one tho. My favorite star wars novel is Shadow of The Empire. I re-read it a couple years ago and forgot how much I liked it. Maybe I should read the Zahn novels- I think they might use those.

They've said it's going to be an original story for the movie. Something that disturbs me greatly since I don't want to see the EU get completely **** on. 

Shadow's of the Empire. Good book (and game... and graphic novel.)

Takes place 6 months after Empire (and 6 months before Jedi) in 3.5 ABY.

I'm one of those diehard SW fans that pretty much has all the novels. I don't follow the comics as much, but I do read up on them on Wookieepedia.

The thing I'm really excited about is the 'Dawn of the Jedi' series which takes place 35,000 years before A New Hope. It's the origin story for the Jedi and how before the light and dark concepts of the Force were applied, there was only one.

The Jedi are to me, the most interesting and story rich elements of Star Wars. Actually the Dawn of the Jedi plot sounds like it would be really, really cool to make into a movie. But you know, dat Disney Corp.

That's the beauty of Star Wars. It's so expansive and encompassing. The universe is so huge that there really are no one character or set of characters to hinge the story on, something that I think is a flaw for other media like Mass Effect.

Provided they keep the Force in the story, they can literally do anything they want and go wherever they want and it will still feel like Star Wars. They actually have nearly 1 million years of history to dabble with, going as far back as the Architects (SW's version of the Forerunner or Leviathans, and far, far, far more advanced than either of them) up to Cade Skywalker, Marasiah Fel, and Ania Solo. And they can of course expand beyond that.

Disney, I and many others fear, will completely obliterate the EU to serve their own purposes. And they have the power to.

yeah, I mean look at the Deppfest as I call it with the milking of Pirates of the Carribean and the awful sweeney todd film and the lack luster Lone ranger. Disney, is almost if not as bad as other corporate giants like EA and walmart.

Here is a list of assets owned by Disney:
ESPN(80% adult focused sports station/company)
Marvel(100% bought in 2009 has since had several big sellers)
ABC(100% I was shocked to learn this but yeah)
Lucasfilm/Lucasarts(100%)
Pixar(100%)
Hollywood Records(100% recording label)
The Baby Einstein Company(100%)
HuLu(32% stake)
A&E(100%)
History Channel(100%
Military History channel(100%)
Lifetime(100%)
Crime and Investigation channel(100%)
Saban(100%)

And thousands and thousands more assets including themeparks, golf courses, resorts and cruiselines and TONS of other media companies and channels around the world.

Basically what I am saying is Disney DOES have success in more adult themed content, I am very optimistic that they can do the star wars series proud. I mean honestly if you go on a fansite for Star Wars alot of fans think Ep.1-3 were garbage but the sells were still through the roof. So wewill see.

EDIT: Also they are probably the ONLY film company that has a chance to make a decent Star Wars film with the special effects we will expect from the film.

EA and Disney are probably the only companies that wanted it that have the financial capability to keep the franchise afloat. However I think Disney should have kept Lucasarts alive as a game studio but just make it a branch of disney's current game studios. Also keep a few LA veterans on staff.

I think they should have given commissions out to separate developer's and publisher's. Whoever can make the best game that they're looking for gets the commission.

LA's problem was that they kept all their development in-house, essentially making everything themselves. This showed when the quality of SW games started to go down.

It would be a HUGE move for EA to get all game rights and pass the dev job on to BioWare, Honestly The Old Republic is a great game in my opinion, I just hate it's F2P option and store route they took. The story and gameplay itslf I found very fun. It just became a good game too late for most.

TOR inherits a great universe, sure, but a great deal of the story was from LA's end. As for the game itself it shoots itself in the foot a lot of times.

You mean F2P restrictions

The gameplay was fun, until it got repetitive and boring after awhile

It cracks me up when I hear people say "if they keep the force in the story.."
Of course they'll keep the Force in the films. It is a metaphor for religion, for faith and omnipotence. It is not another Harry Potter flick. This is our modern Myth. The Force is essential.

TOR inherits a great universe, sure, but a great deal of the story was from LA's end. As for the game itself it shoots itself in the foot a lot of times.


I loved the Story and the PvP actually especially Huttball but the dungeons were just meh. I think it will lat several more years though they say there is a 2 mil a day playerbase since F2P launch last I heard which is a big deal in my opinion.

The dungeons definitly sucked compared to other games though honestly.

PS: All MMORPGs get repetative.

You misunderstand. Star Wars can literally do anything since it's so expansive and no single individual or entity, besides the Force and possibly the Jedi, can define it as such. As I said, if the Force is part of the story, it will fit Star Wars.

Star wars is pretty expansive, I mean they have already hundreds of books written that have not even been covered by any game content so I agree with you 100%. If it has the force in it any story is possible.

I have to have a idiot moment and announce...I LOVE SCI-FI!!!

Everything about sci-fi is just so interesting to me, which is probably why 90% of the games I enjoy have sci-fi themes. It is almost an addiction.
