    Best thing we can hope for is that they use the EU stuff in the new canon piece by piece.  There's definitely a ton of interesting stuff and nothing says they can't use it (they're "legends" right now).  It's sad because the Star Wars universe is so fleshed out that they have endless stuff to pull from.  I'd love to see some of these book series made into movies or even tv shows and cartoons.

     

    They could use some stuff that has nothing to do with major storylines... i.e. The Mandolorian. So anything they can pull from EU is gonna be something minorly mentioned or from The old republic.  Because of how they introduced The First Order and basically ruined the galaxy's major players they really would have to relegate the disney trilogy to Legends status.  In the EU the empire still exists, there is a chunk of the galaxy controlled by the Imperial Remnant.

    But think about this... how much more money would they make by even just continuing the EU? The old fans would be happy because we get to return to a universe with awesome characters and stories.  Then disney can do whatever the fuck they want with their mary sue and glaring plot holes that are worse than the death star trench run.

     

    I've said it before and i'll say it again.  I want the EU to continue.  It was getting extremely interesting (at least for me). Luke finally met the person we know is going to kill him.  We started learning more about the ancient force entities (abeloth). 

     

    Fun story time... so after RoS my mother asked me what was between and i told her TLJ. She didn't remember. I reminder her that we all saw it together and got sick a few days later (thanks jackass with a cold in a crowded theater).  Still no bells.  So she watches it on tv and says she still doesn't remember it.  At this point i have to bite my tongue from going "you are probably the luckiest person who has seen it then" so i just sigh.

    I'm giving JJ a pass because I understand he was really put in an awkward position of having to please old fans and try and attract new fans. And all said and done TFA was a decent movie.  I don't condone what they did to Han and Leia at all, period.

     

    And with the reports that disney went back and re-edited Abrams finished product I am curious if there actually is George Lucas version that scored the highest among test audiences. 

     

    Rian Johnson needs to stay the hell away from any star wars property.  That's partly based on his reaction to the criticism.  The rest is the travesty that was TLJ. 

     

    What I want to happen is Kathleen Kennedy needs to be fired. End of story there. Whoever is in next needs to Legends status this dumpster fire of a trilogy, then reinstate the EU as canon.

    Only thing i will say on this.  You have a major problem when my mother, who is not really a fan but understands star wars impact on entertainment, turns to you and goes "I didn't like it." 

     

    My rating... as an action movie i give it a solid 7.5/10... as a star wars fan, i give it a 3/10.  Babu Frick and Wedge Antilles cameo was the best part.  I honestly feel sorry for the actors for having to be associated with what the disney trilogy became.  

     

    That is all.

    Good thing inosuke wasn't there. He'd have so many new man crushes his head would explode.  Also i swear i could hear him go "Let me at 'em! I'll headbutt him so hard he won't be able to sit for a week!"

    One of my theories since the beginning is that they would flip them at some point (even if only temporarily), but yeah; a Luke on Degobah/Anakin on Mortis style force vision thing is what I'm honestly expecting.

     

    Edit: Thinking on it some more, another possibility that I thought of is possession. Is there any precedence in the old EU for a force ghost possessing another Force user (or person or anything in general)? Because another possibility is some Darth Sidius possession shit going down. >_>

     

    Yes there is. I recall there being a sith force ghost that took over.... i believe it was kyp duron and was attempting to fire of a planet killer weapon hidden on a lost starbase called "The Maw" that is located in a cluster of black holes in the unknown regions.  Let me check on it and ill edit in a link.

    Edit: i was mostly right... not outright posession but dominating influence. Kyp Durron
