ImmortalLowlife Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 No more are the films the "top tier" of canon. There will now only be one....... thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletBlaze Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Think it will be a good move. We have always had too many people argue that the books were not canon and that the films topped the books. This way they can have an overall canon where the books, films are all on equal footing. My opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion. Well they already were on equal footing if people actually read what was there. But yeah...that is annoying anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadishist Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Good move, but they should start retcon on the contradictions that exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeters Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Considering that the Star Wars extended universe is often wildly inconsistent and occasionally devolves into a pissing match between authors trying to make their characters to specialist snowflakes of them all, uh, yeah. Good luck, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalLowlife Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 I think overall it's a great idea. Now they can fine tune the canon. Get rid of the bs (I'm talking about YOU "Crystal Star"), And make the Thrawn Trilogy official so they can MAKE THESE MOVIES! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaBos Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The big news? Wookieepedia has been doing this since the website was created. Wookieepedia has already brought together all the books video games movies tv shows etc. and shown how they are all fit together. Don't let Disney try to take credit for something Wookieepedia has done for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDymond Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) The big news? Wookieepedia has been doing this since the website was created. Wookieepedia has already brought together all the books video games movies tv shows etc. and shown how they are all fit together. Don't let Disney try to take credit for something Wookieepedia has done for years. LucasArts' Holocron database was doing that a lot longer than Wookieepedia's been in existence. The point of the new development is that once the new canon is established, future movies will treat the novels/comics/video games, etc. that take place in that new canon as having the same "level" of canon as other movies. So you won't get situations like the Prequels disregarding the timeline for the Clone Wars alluded to in the Thrawn trilogy. It does not mean that the new movies will respect anything in the current EU, though, so we could still see Jacen and Jaina, Mara Jade, the Yuuzhan Vong, the Imperial Remnant, etc., etc., etc., all disappear once Ep. VII comes out. Edited January 9, 2014 by DarthDymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol My new ideal future for the EU: Existing EU kept intact post-ROTJ up until around Children of the Jedi; Everything from Children of the Jedi to just before the Hand of Thrawn becomes some weird fever dream Luke had after drinking too much Blue Milk; The new movies tell the story of what was really happening in those years; Things in the EU pick back up with the Hand of Thrawn onward being intact. ...hey, a guy can hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
