Oh, the user who threatened to kill himself hasn't shown up since Wednesday.

And Jennifer Heddle confirmed that all eras were nuked, not just post-RotJ EU.

Of course, she confirms that just when I had hit the acceptance stage of grief.  Back to De Nile I go...

I hope the guy seriously doesn't commit suicide over something like this, i mean, really?

on a lighter note, heard about this?

Based Disney. Well, and J.J. Abrams I guess? Considering he's the guy in charge of it all.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Looks interesting.  I'm hoping the pics are legit (can't say that I have the best faith in TMZ), as it appears that JJ Abrams is using more practical effects.  I like practical effects.  This makes me happy.

I'm pretty sure Abrams said that he's using the green screen as little as possible.

Yay, more latex Rodian heads!

I guess all I can really say is it isn't exactly what I'd expect out of a $4.4M game

It doesn't even have mouth animations

Star Trek Into Darkness didn't use much lens flare, much to my surprise. Shockingly little.

So, I hope this will be the same.

Not sure if I want to watch.  I'm trying to avoid spoilers.

New helmets look awesome.

Also, if Disney actually does release the original, unLucas'd Trilogy on Blu-Ray, I will be very very happy!

the video is really just Abrahms talking about that thing where you can win a spot in the movie and get a screening of it early. What you see in the preview image is really all there is. just him standing in front of the x-wing

Wait, that's not a Z-95 Headhunter... That's the original trilogy X-Wing concept design. Hoooly [parasitic bomb].

Apparently, there's going to be at least 20 books coming out to fill the gap between RotJ and TFA.

Why did the article specifically mention no erotica?

I guess they took everyone telling them that they should go screw themselves for the whole EU thing a little too literally.

I guess?  I just found it so weird that it said that even though it seems obvious and not need to be said.

I still hate that they nuked the EU for the NU.  The NU can go take a flying leap into an open cesspool.

Except for Rebels.  Rebels is cool.

Ehhh... I'm going to be honest and say that the only thing that was really all that good in the EU was the Thrawn trilogy. I had a bigger response, but this picture should do it.

Yeah, there's a ton of crap in EU, that being one of them.  Though, let's not forget The Crystal Star.

Link is dead for me right now...

On another note, is anyone reading the Star Wars/Darth Vader/Princess Leia ongoings from Marvel?

I'll be honest. Felicity Jones as a Rogue Squadron pilot feels my heart with warm feelings.
