Darth Groovy Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Goerge dips into the EU for material from time to time. Here are two known examples. Example Number one: Dash Rendar's Outrider in Star Wars Special Edition of "A New Hope". Example Number Two: Aayla Secura, popular in the EU.

Master Moo Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 One of the EU things that upsets me is that about 10% of all Luke's students at the Jedi academy seem to turn to the dark side. Can Luke realy be that bad of a teacher. Even if he was that bad of a teacher, it seems like more people would try to stop them. Anyway more to the subject at hand, I think (but have no evidence to support) that GL's people read the books and sumerise them for GL. It seems to me Lucas Film is more interested in making money then keeping GL's vision clear, and will let a lot of Tom-foolry slide. (Boba Fett died in the Sarlacc pit but it's more fun to pretend he is still alive [like Elvis]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Actually, either Boba got out of the Sarlaac pit and died of old age, or he's in there and will be digested for a thousand years *adds examples to Groovy's* Coruscant. Double-bladed lightsaber. Jango Fett's armor functions. The Sith. Holocrons. (sadly, will only be seen on the DVD...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well coruscant was mentioned in the novelization of episode 4 so I can't touch that. The double bladed lightsaber I think was first introduced by Exar Kuun in the EU so you score ten points there. You got me lost on Jango's armor funtions........which book was that? And the sith have been needed to be explained since day one. And I think the novelization by Terry Brooks says more about the Sith than anyone ever will. But that is not EU so your 2 for 2.....sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSmith Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Hehehe. My fav Jedi babe Aayla is canon now, hehehe. The constructive thing I wanted to add actually was that George Lucas himself instructed the NJO authors to kill off Anakin Solo (though they had plans for him) because too much people were confusing Anakin Skywalker (Becomes Darth Vader, Ep I-Ep VI era) and Anakin Solo (Son of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo).

Jedi_Monk Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 The novelizations are EU or semi-canon... not everything in the novel is canon and things that are included in the book but are not in the movie (such as the explanation of the Sith's history) is highly suspect. And if you're implying that the Sith are a completely EU creation, you're wrong. The Sith have been a part of Lucas' Star Wars almost since the beginning; the second draft of the Star Wars script says that Darth Vader is a "Black Knight of the Sith". Another exapmle of the Sith's pre-EU existance is in the script for ANH when General Tagge says: "I tell you he's gone too far. This Sith Lord sent by the Emperor will be our undoing. Until this battle station is fully operation, we are vulnerable." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 About Jango's armor: Not a book. The comics. Which Lucas reads alot more then the books, incidently. It's somewhere on theforce.net... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Originally posted by Divine Spirit hmmmmm still cant see the outrider! is it the blurry spacecraft in the distance? top marks for the second pic! Unfortunately That was the only photo I was able to locate on the web. There is a back issue of the Star Wars Insider that has an enhanced zoom so you can see it plain as day. Also if you have a good 4 head VCR with a large screen and the widescreen version of "A New Hope" the Special Edition you can just pause on that scene and see it plain as day also. So to answer your quesion....yes it is the blurry object just above the building in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
