When will Lucas proclaim that the first 3 films were non cannon, and he will shoot them out of a cannon?

Thought this was good. Forgot the part about all the super weapons in these books. Almost every villain has some planet destroying ship in every series.

I agree the recent treks were piles of shit. But the big difference is, JJ won't be "rebooting the franchise" with this star wars movie.
You think killing anakin was worse than killing chewie?

In EU context? Absolutely.
Chewie was not really a good character for books because, to keep with the trilogy, he could not speak English. He was always the biggest "side" character and well loved enough that he was the perfect catalyst that was supposed to prove that no one was safe and that this new universe was dangerous for everyone while still heeding Lucas' directive that Luke, Leia, and Han could not be killed. If you read any EU you'd know that the Wookie they featured, Chewie's nephew, was given a speech impediment that specifically allowed him to speak in an intelligible manner to the other characters.
Anakin, on the other hand, was the focus of a TON of the books and even had jedi prophecy preaching about how he was the next big thing. Them killing him off is even more of a slap in the face becauseChewie died saving Anakinin a hugely symbolic gesture that Lucas erased because he thought morons would be confused by the naming.

I don't know, he might have a point. I mean, I know three people named Jeff, and I can't ever fucking remember which is which. Such a moron
I have a seething nerd hatred for R.A. Salvatore after the shit Star Wars book he wrote. He not only killed Chewbacca saving a bunch of worthless no name background people, but also introduced probably the shittiest most cliche "villains" ever. In a universe that mixes sci fi and mysticism, why go the fucking plant people route? Why does Star Wars need fantasy steam punk thrown in when it already is a mixture of genres? The best part is, he only wrote the one book, then left it to a parade of authors to try and salvage his terrible ideas. It was a stupid move to publish his book and it sent the EU off into an unreadable mess.
Episode 7 cast:
John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker, in Star Wars: Episode VII

RA Salvatore didn't come up with shit, don't hate on him for those awful decisions - Lucas Publishing told him to kill off Chewie and probably the other generalities for the plot as well. He's a big name author so they got him to kick off the "New Jedi Order" planned series they had come up with.

Then RA Salvatore should say no and not cash the fucking check. Hate apologists. The guy is a fucking tool. Oh noes, they put a gun to his head and forced him to kill Chewie.
As for the cast, it looks like the Original Cast has a FAR bigger role in the new series than expected. Pretty cool. I was just expecting cameos.
edit: Andy Serkis to play a future Darth Jar-Jar?
Cmon, no one is turning down a huge check to write one book in a universe you don't give a shit about. That's exactly why he was chosen instead of one of their regular authors - to take the PR flak.Then RA Salvatore should say no and not cash the fucking check. Hate apologists. The guy is a fucking tool. Oh noes, they put a gun to his head and forced him to kill Chewie.
