Actually i dont watch the show... i believe anything not in a movie or on paper can change the "cannon" of star wars, and that goes for a live action tv show also.

Well, if we are questioning the significance of this "blog paragraph", let's cut to the chase..
"George Lucas, is supposed to be done with the Star Wars world..."
Supposed to be done with?
What the hell does that mean, and what is it based on?
Erm, isn't he DEFINITELY involved in 3D theatrical releases of all six movies, a successful cartoon TV series, and a live action TV series currently deep in production?
Call me radical, but I'd say that is pretty darn "involved" in the Star Wars world...

THat's right. he said he was done with the Skywalker story... But even that proved out false beacsue in the CW series all we get is Anakin... The maker works in mysterious ways.
You should have told LUcas before he started writing the PT.
He's only pissing all over the EU cause you think he is. Lucas has said before he does not care what is in the expanded universe, just what is in his movies. Yes he does give the go ahead to do new stories in books or games etc. but he doesn't follow what they do. You have to learn to treat them sepratley. i have read a few EU books, xwing and some others and they were good but i'm sure as sh!t not going be thinking about those while watching clone wars or new movies. ENJOY them for what they are another version of the story.
I know very little about the EU so wouldn't have a problem with a new story if written well. He could do it where Han and Leia only have 1 kid and i wouldn't care. It doesn't have to be exactly the same or even close, this is GL's story, and he will follow it the way he wants and try to please the normal regular fans, but the nut bars are SOL.
If he did do another one based after the OT then all he could do is base it in a different part of the galaxy, with new characters and situations.
The old characters could be referred to in dialogue or not even mentioned at all. I personally wouldn't want Lucas to helm a depiction of the EU, many will just end up disappointed as he will undoubtably change things to suit his own tastes.

Then there are two ways to approach this realization. One is to repay the favor by no longer supporting anything new with the SW logo on it. The other is to assume that SW canon need be only what the individual fan wants it to be, and not what Mr. Lucas says it must be.
