Andy867 Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 Well, I dont know of any male EU characters, but I do know that Amy Allen will be reprising her role as Aayla Secura (the female blue Twi'lek Jedi)
dark jedi 8 Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 i don't think anyone has released the name of this "unknown character" from the E.U. i hope they don't get cut.
Darth Darthy Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 Seeing as they're already talking about him being cut, I'd say its almost a certainty he's out.
Methos007 Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 Crap-in-a-hat. I was hoping for a young Mako or Dash Randar.
toenail1 Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 Quote Kuat drive yards? Gone. Death Star pototype? Out the window. WAIT! WHAT?!?!?!?! he didnt destroy either of those, the death star prototype can still be made (dont forget they're still 18 years since the end of ep. II-ep. 4) and how did he destroy kuat? explain that to me
Methos007 Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 The way the story goes for the death star is that it was designed BY empirial engineers and they built a prototype. The whole geonosis involvment seems to crap that up. As for the Kuat, Slave 1 was built and desinged by Kuat (the man no the company). Now, they messed the whole thing up and said it was stolen by Jango (20 years before bobe had it built) from a prison camp. That doesnt erase kuat, but it certainly lowers the EU legitimacy.
Darth Darthy Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Something to remember is that George doesn't OK each and every project - he's a little too busy for that and that was the whole point of Lucas Liscening. They handle all the continuity - writers are told which characters and subjects they can and can't touch e.g. Yoda and Vaders history. There's always that age old argument between fanboys - is EU real or not? (always a good subject for a poll ) George was stated as saying he considers the EU an "alternative universe" within the Star Wars framework.
toenail1 Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Quote Something to remember is that George doesn't OK each and every project oh, how so wrong! he does have to OK each thing, or else he has the right to sue the writers now... maybe your talking about him not reading it, and just saying "yes" to everything
Darth Darthy Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 No, that's the job of Lucas Licsensing. And for what reason would he sue the writers?!? The book wouldn't be published if it didn't get past the licencing department and thus the writer wouldn't be sued. That's the job of Lucas Licensing. The writers hand in a story outline, if it's approved then a draft. If thats then approved then a few more drafts and the final copy is sent to the publishers and printers.
Methos007 Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 in other words, lucas only gets the jist of the story, therefore missing details such as slave 1 origine.
Andy867 Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Well for certain aspects like Copyrighted material like Boba's ship and anything that has been in the movies, Lucas is probably aware of them, or he has experts who work for him that know whether or not he would want that particular thing mentioned in the book, or what could be done about it.
Darth Darthy Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Quote ...or he has experts who work for him... Yeah, Lucas Licensing. Not that this has anything to do with Mace's death which is part an ass whooping from Palpatines Force Lightning and part Anakin realizing his true Sithy potential. Choke on this Mr Mace... *CHOP!*
Methos007 Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 I hope Jar Jar dies in the movie. A really pointless death while were at it. Mabye he can sleep in poodoo and fall off a cliff.
Darth Darthy Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Jar Jar doesn't die but he's not really in it either. Supposedly he's fulfilled his role in the story (being duped into giving Palpatine emergancy powers) and has about the same screen time as he did in AOTC. So we'll probably just see him in the Senate and at the funeral.
Andy867 Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Who is to say that Padme will die, because Leia told Luke that she remembers her mother being very beautiful, but always very sad, which means that Padme was around for the first few years of Leia's life.
Darth Darthy Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 She dies, I have no doubt of that. Nodoy is quite sure how Lucas is going to explain that Leia line though and its not a line that can be altered or removed because that's the Luke & Leia scene.
Andy867 Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 I dont think she dies because they will have to show her going to Alderaan with Leia who will become the adopted child of Capt Antilles and to see luke go with Obi-wan Kenobi to Tatooine to be taken under the care of Anakin's stepbrother, Owen Lars and Beru. My guess is that because only a handful of people knew of Anakin's and Padme's secret wedding (how modern of them), Bail Organa devises a way to forge a falsified wedding between himself and Padme(who is closer to him in age than that of Anakin), which would seem more believable to them, since apparently they dont know of the Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher affair going on now.
leXX Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 We do know that there is a scene in Ep3 where Obi takes Luke to Owen Larrs, because in the special features of the AOTC DVD, it shows them filming an extra scene for Ep3 while they are in Tunisia, because they didn't want to return to there to film just one scene. So, you can gather from that there will also be a scene where we see Leia being taking to Alderaan by Bail Organa.
dark jedi 8 Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 i still have doubts that she'll die. i didn't hear that rumor before, where did you find/hear it from?
Darth Darthy Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I think I heard it from Al, T'Bone or Ewok Pudu who are the sources for all the legit spoilers and pics. All the spoilers have come from them in one form or another so I don't doubt she dies.
Sivy Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 there's definitely a funeral because i've seen pics of the coffin... but i don't know if its padme, but i think it is.
OptimusPrime75 Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I doubt it's Padme actual death, but perhaps for her protection, everyone's led to believe it's her funeral. Allowing her to be whisked away to Alderaan secretly to give birth to Luke and Leia with Anakin and the soon-to-be Emperor without a clue to the future saviors of the galaxy.
Darth Darthy Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I've heard descriptions of the coffin (in that it floats like Han's carbon freeze block) but not seen any pictures. You got them?
