The book trilogy set post ROTJ.

It seems like a poor choice to have movies/tv shows story lines restricted by books (I'm sure they aren't very good either)

Absolutely yes.
And I'd love to see Mister Bones. One of the best things accomplished in the new Star Wars novels is taking lame things from canon and making them awesome. Mister Bones being a great example.
I meant it sucks that they basically waste any story potential for Wedge after RotJ apparently.AliasMan02 said:PatAg said:So it's canon, that sucks. We already had great stories for after RoTJ in book form if they wanted to go that route.tamusc said:PatAg said:

Assuming you meant Thrawn, the books were completely undone by the prequels, so adapting them was never in the cards anyway. You got him in TCW and will see him in live action soon enough as well.
In any case the other media does a really good job at staying in the fringes. Nothing there is essential to knowing what's going on if you just watch the movies. And they've shown in very limited slices that they're willing to overwrite books. The account of the siege of Mandalore and Order 66 in the final season of TCW was completely different than what was previously written in the Ahsoka novel (based on then-unproduced TCW episodes). Not sure if they're going to fix it in future printings or not.
She was. So hot.AliasMan02 said:
Carrie was an absolute smoke show. I'm always floored when I see her in candid stuff like this.
I had saw this yesterday morning and was really impressed with the art work. They built a fantastic world here showing the Sith temple, etc. A lot of really cool stuff. But the execution in the movie was horrible. It all came across as a bluish dark haze to where you couldn't see all the awesome detail shown here. The concept art shown here is what we should have seen in the movie.TCTTS said:
If only the story itself was even remotely worthy of all of this incredible art...

This is a good way to describe it.I Have Spoken said:
TROS is the most soulless SW movie. So underwhelming.
There was a plot?Chipotlemonger said:
I still can't get over the plot of the ST in general, and the fact that they resurrected Palpatine like they did.

Nothing will beat the moment the main star wars theme, played slowed down and super intense over a shot of Kylo and the Knights of Ren.Blatant Disregard said:
This trailer represented the sum total of lifetime Star Wars Hype for me. Born in '83 (the year ROTJ came out), it had been a part of my life since the beginning.
This might be my favorite trailer of all time. The movie was good. The ST was bad.
Edit: damn, even five years later I have a slight tear in my eye after Maz's line "The force, it's calling to you... just let it in."

That movie had so much hope at that point. But that trailer was literally the peak of the trilogy.

This is going to be the biggest movie of all time. Absolutely no question.
Abrams + Star Wars is the perfect marriage. Based on that footage alone, he's bringing an energy to the franchise we've never seen before.
WOW.
I remember dragging my coffee table over so I could sit about 6 inches from the TV for the trailer debut during Monday Night Football.mazag08 said:Nothing will beat the moment the main star wars theme, played slowed down and super intense over a shot of Kylo and the Knights of Ren.Blatant Disregard said:
