Star Wars Rebels has already introduced characters from the EU (Thrawn, Rukh) and made ships like the Hammerhead Corvette canon (which also played a big part in Rogue One) and so on. |

Don't underestimate their ability to **** things up. They've done it beautifully with the last two films, and I'm sure they could find a way to add a blind half-black, half-asian, cross-dressing alien woman trapped in a man's body as Pippi Skywalker's love interest.

I never read any of that stuff. And I've only read two Star Wars "new canon" books as it is. So this stuff doesn't really matter to me. But I can understand the desire to have one unified universe going forward. |

I've stated I don't hate the new films, and I even question Finn's place in the story, beyond rescuing Poe. He's always just kind of there. His character is over acted, and he really hasn't been that important since the first 20 minutes of TFA.

Not disputing that at all, but reading the synopsis of the whole YV storyline just struck as me being.. far removed from what I feel should be present in the SW mythos.

I'm sure that Lucasfilm will continue to incorporate characters and elements of the EU but avoid anything that's too crazy (like cloning Luke or some other Jedi Master). Although in retrospect, it's kind of odd that they threw out the EU because Chewie was killed off yet in the very first movie after Return of the Jedi, they killed off Han Solo. "We're going to disregard the EU because they killed Chewie but hey, let's kill Han Solo in the next episode instead!". |

I bet they time hop the story forward for IX. They have to. Not that you're wrong or that it matters, but there is a new guy in the Chewie suit for TLJ. Peter Mayhew called it a career after TFA, apparently. |

Peter's old and his knees are shot. He was on set to help Jonas "learn" the character. He's starring in Solo, too. |

Some of you are just out of your minds on this. I finished what I believe was my fourth viewing of this movie, and your criticisms of Luke's character are just so far off the rez, I'm wondering if you actually viewed the film.
