Ah. Okay.
Makes sense, they own everything, after all.
But whose decision it was to start a "Post-Crisis" era of Star Wars? Disney's and only Disney's?
You mean to get rid of the old EU from canon? That was probably Disneys decision so that they were not tied down to the EU. But their press release at the time stated the directors and authors of canon are free to draw from the old EU.
So theres nothing stopping them doing a canon KOTOR tv series, a Darth Bane trilogy or a Force Unleashed movie.

That was what I thought at first, but some disagreed.

They really didn't have to get rid of it.
They could have easily just had it be a separate Universe and if writers wanted to write a novel or comic or other thing about it, then they could do so. This would probably make them even more of a profit honestly, because they would have both sides.

That's what they did. The old EU exists under the "legends" brand. Go to any book store that sells Star Wars material and 90% of it will be old EU rebranded as legends, still for sale.

Right, but I mean, not still having old material already done and just resold. They could have still continued it, not completely stop it.

Pretty sure they did for a short while.
But yeah I still want a Force Unleashed 3.
But to be fair, I like the idea that everything they do is canon now. The old comics/novels never really mattered which I hated.

Only Legends material I recall post 2014 is the Imperial Commander Handbook and the 108th Marvel comic which continued Valance's story.
...But yeesss....dangg it! I hate that cliffhanger with such a passion..

^ Ah okay.
Yeah youre right they should have carried that stuff on. Keep the fans happy and stop guys like Lighter demanding everyone boycotts Disney Lol
Besides its only more source material for them to draw from for canon. Like the MCU didnt ask Marvel to stop printing comics lol
In fact the comics keeps on giving new material for the movies to use.

Only cause BW's contract hasn't expired. Which I believe it ends in 2023.

These are, as of now, unconfirmed rumors, so keep that in mind while reading. That being said, this is supposedly the premise of Project Luminous...
"Supposedly, Disney is also feeling that its current path with movies has flaws, and has, therefore, started designing a huge project years ago, which would result in making the future of the Star Wars franchise similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Our informant said that the new, connected multiplatform story will be set 300-400 years BEFORE the Skywalker-saga. The plot would involve a group of Jedi setting out to explore the Unknown Regions of the Galaxy (Timothy Zahn's Outbound Flight might come into mind, which also deals with the Jedi exploring what lies outside the edges of the Galaxy). According to our informant, the Jedi would get involved in numerous adventures and conflicts with three different types of enemies, the darkest being ancient evils, Sith gods of some sort.
As far as we know, these stories would be separate, but also connected, similar to the MCU. The more one would see, the more it could be enjoyed, with the different plots culminating in the style of the Avengers movies. The main Jedi characters would also have different strengths and powers, similar to superheroes.
Although Project Luminous is said to be launched in 2020, our informant said that its first product will be a video game in 2021, but could provide no information about its content and its developers."
So the Sith Gods and two additional types of enemies? I wonder if those will be the Chiss and Grysks?

Very possible. Might even be how they overcome the threats they face.

Would be interesting to see the idea expanded - as long as the two jedi involved are interesting lol.
Although with this idea of "superheroes" it sounds more like there will be a team of force users as the main cast with each varying abilities, rather than two main force sensitives as a dyad. But who knows.
