We're not asking for the PT to be full of EU info, just a little mention would be cool, and inside joke for the people who pay Lucas' rent, car payments, fund his movies, and put his kids through private school.the movies pays his rent and they have done so for 25 years. Geroge was fortuante enough to own his own creation, so if you want to use it you have to pay for it , thats just the way of business
sorry buddy, pepsi is way better than coke.still is a copy and will never be anything but the copy.
some of us UNIVERSE fans think the EU has some merit here and there and we think it would be cool for some stuff to fit into the movie as a nod to the creators in the EU.I am so glad he doesnt the PT are bad enough as they are allready
i don't understand you're first comment up there, it doesn't make any sense with what you quoted from me.
Pepsi isn't really relevant, that was just supposed to be funny.
And as for LOTR, if Chris Tolkein wrote some more stuff, based on his father's notes then yes. Just like the EU is based on ideas Lucas has come up with and then the EU expands on it. If he completely disagreed with it, he'd never license it. He doesn't agree with it either. He allows it to exist. Lucas has lots of ideas, technological breakdowns, races, and other things he can't work into the movies without it turning into a two hour encyclopedia. Those extra ideas are usually integrated into the EU stories. So the EU is actually a hybrid of the writer's ideas AND Lucas'. Lucas explained to an effects guy how the Gungun's power their city, mine those blue things they shot at battle droids and pretty much explained their whole culture. So you see, Lucas creates a LOT of what gets integrated into EU. He doesn't write the plot lines, but most of the back ground does come from him. And for your information, some EU stuff HAS made it into the PT so apparently you need to read up a little more before you want to argue with a hardcore Universe fan who knows what he's talking about because he reads every Lucas interview printed and actually researches things before shooting his mouth off.
Lycas always had an explanation to his technology in Star Wars but as long as the story aint done by the writer himself it shouldnt be included in the saga. To be honost I think, at least the ones I read, the EU books are really really weak storys
well I missread your quote, I saw that afterward, I thought you ment EU pay GLs rent and so on but I didnt edit it, my mistake...........the first one in my life 😉 😉 😉
i agree that the EU stories, for the most part, pre NJO, were very weak. Its why I didin't read all of them (many, but I didn't lose sleep over missing a book here and there). But, I'm pointing out that they are, in a wierd way, half canon. They DO contain things that Lucas simply hasn't had the screen time to include. So some parts of them are from his brain (the good parts). And sometimes he does have plot lines he wants done to introduce a character or idea like the Foster book that takes place up until the begining of Clones. Thats why I get upset with the straight up dismisal of EU. Lots of Lucas' ideas are present. Its usually been (and a lot more lately with the prequel era books) the purpose of EU to fill in gaps and enhance the films and give hardcore fans a deeper understanding of the galaxy, even if the actual play by play isn't directly from Lucas' hand.
