They specifically said they dropped everything concerning the expanded universe, like all books, comics ect...

Only the existing movies count as lore for the new one.


Meh. So the movies are something different from what people can already read on jedipedia and this stuff. Great (not).

I mean, I can understand it from a monetary point because people don't have the option to spoil other people and to hurt cinema income but seriously, for "real" SW fans that consumed everything surrounding it, I can see that they are disappointed by this.

I think it is better that way. Otherwise the majority of people would just be confused by charackters and plot-related events that reference stuff they have never heard about.

This new movie needs to be simple and straight forward, not a convolutred mess like the prequel trilogy where people got confused by new characters that were previously introduced in the clone wars series.

If this movie is a success, they can go with a more detailed approach from there.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
