Lucasfilm decrees the Star Wars expanded universe as non-canon

Includes every book, video game, and comic to bear the name.

I guess that gives them flexability

Really looking forward to see how star wars (filmography) is going to go forward. I have well over 150 books from the expanded universe as well as some first issue comics and a few bits of memorabilia from the 70's to say I'm more excited about the coming films over ep I-III is an understatement, I only hope they don't screw it up cause it'll leave a lot of people crying into their Gamorian ale.

Indeed as you say Alf one can only hope that Disney know exactly what they are doing because we don't want the disaster of TPM again.

I'd prefer it if the Thrawn books and KOTOR were canon and the Prequel Trilogy was wiped from existence.

NOW they do the follow up when the original cast are at pensionable age.I suppose they needed to do it before any of them die..:rolleyes:

Going by the original cast being back and the arrangement in the photo not being an accident, Daisy is between Han and Leia. So one would presume she will play their daughter? Those to the left of Luke will be Jedi in training?

Wonder if we'll get some other big news on Star Wars Day[May the 4th] :)

I would be happy if EP7 was just two hours solid of Jar Jar Binks being tortured to death.

As I said on Digital Spy, I think it's more a thing of convenience. Same as the BBC saying that only the Doctor Who TV series is canon and everything else Doctor Who isn't. It just ensures that the writers only need to check continuity with the main series (or films) and not have to read or listen to the hundreds of books and thousands of stories written by other people.

The Paul McGann film is Cannon.

Sorry, just being a pedant.

According to Total Film, Ford will have a major part to play in this. I was thought at first the returning characters would be just expanded cameos.

But it looks like Han may be a major part in the new film

Not really pedantic. I believe that is considered part of the series.
