The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

I'm not sure. The way they make it sound, no, just that it's a potential resource to be drawn on later.

Interested to see if they'll still maintain a canon hierarchy, both in the NuEU and the Legends category.

Apparently not in the NuEU; it's all going to be at the same level with the movies and TV series.

Settin' themselves up for failure there, imo.

Yeah. Apparently, though, there's a Story Group that will coordinate continuity with the films so as to ensure a seamless timeline.

Also, this:

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….
STAR WARS: LORDS OF THE SITH by Paul S. Kemp

When the Emperor and his notorious apprentice, Darth Vader, find themselves stranded in the middle of insurgent action on an inhospitable planet, they must rely solely on each other, the Force, and their awesome martial skills to prevail. Created in collaboration with the Lucasfilm Story Group. Coming March 2015. Jacket art by Aaron McBride.

Wow. 😂

That sounds like a mix between a buddy-cop film and a romantic comedy.

Paul Kemp sucks.

Paul's not bad. He wrote Crosscurrent.

Whatevz. Broken link.

Deceived was pretty bad.

And formatting fail.

Oh god. Not sure I like the new canon any more. 🙁

Welp, I'm sold!

Bane still exists in TCW.

I was never worried about Bane not being in the new canon; when they said that they would be drawing from some elements from the old canon such as characters and using them in the new canon, I figured the long established founder of the movie's Rule of Two, and I believe GL's creation (or something like that?), would be safe.

It's the KOTOR stuff I'm worried about, namely TOR.

I'd be bothered if KOTOR were gone.

^ There's the cool cover for LOTS.

That's pretty dope.

Looking forward to some more Vader/Palpatine feats.

The cover implies that there'll at least be other Imperials. So the narrative doesn't need to rely on two utterly charisma-lacking characters, which is good.

So with the new canon, there's a strict divorce between Legends or L-canon and everything else. This ought to shift how we argue things. Perhaps now the novelisations will fall under Legends., since old EU cannot mesh with Disney canon.

This would also have the benefit of resolving current novelisation issues and provide film fans with some viable feats previously contested. I personally am for this, as novelisations scale better with EU power levels.

I say we continue as if nothings changed.

That's not going to solve anything, because many of our inconsistency debates tend to revolve around the canon hierachy.

Interested in the Vader/Palpatine novel and, of course, the Tarkin novel. Decieved was great. It's pretty much the only good thing to come from TOR TBH.

It's not canon. They've just given it a nice name being respectful to all of the previous eu fans:

For now on we can get into L-canon debates or Disney canon debates. But as time goes on discussing L-Canon will become more and more pointless.
