Laugh An example of EU gone bad..............

So tonight Im sitting here reading ROTJ. And Im at the part where Luke is talking to Obi-Wan right after Yoda died. Now get the part in red which will definitely be wrong when Revenge of the Sith comes out.

To set this up, this is right after Ben says "Your insight serves you well. Bury your feelings deep down Luke, They do you credit but they could be made to serve the Emperor."

Now here comes the hinky part messed

Ben continued his narrative, "When your father left, he didnt know your mother was pregnant. Your mother and I knew he would find out eventually, but we wanted to keep you both as safe as possible, for as long as possible. So I took you to live with my brother Owen, on Tatooine...and your mother took Leia to live as the daughter of Senator Organa, on Alderaan."


Now Im like blink wtf is this??? and at Owen & Obi-Wan being brothers!

More evidence that the EU needs to be taken with a BLOCK of salt. laughing out loud

yes, that's already established that that part is wrong.

That's why the novels are semi-canon: they are canon besides the parts that contradict the movie

The novels are not EU, JP, so that is just an example of novels going bad, not the EU.

But yes- not the only contradiction that exists.

Nope! It's all in the canon thread.

EU is a specific line of works, in which the novels are not included.

I agree. I think George Lucas should work with the writers of the books before making a movie because they always make longer battles.

Sorry? No such kids in the novels. Don't confuse the EU books with the film novelisations.

Owen being Ben's brother was in the script for a LONGO time, and was taken out at the last minute, when Sir Alec Guiness came up to do his lines-unfortunately, Khan had already put the Obi-Wan+Owen paternal link in.
Cf. SW: Insider #67, p. 24: "#4: Owen Kenobi? Following Yoda's death in the shooting script, Obi-Wan has a much longer conversation with Luke in which he explains that he entrusted his brother Owen with raising Luke as an adopted "nephew." The dialogue remained in the novelization, and the Obi-Wan/Owen fraternal link was part of official Star Wars lore for years. Episode II established that Owen was, in fact, Anakin Skywalker's stepbrother."
big grin
