So I’ve watched this trailer three times and all three times after watching, I just had ‘meh’ reaction. The third time I watched with my boyfriend and his roommates, they had a bigger reaction than me.
I just sat on the bed and was like, still can’t get excited about this movie and I think I know why.
It’s because the books are not canon anymore. All the expanded universe characters and stories that were written in novel format now are no longer relevant because Disney basically said, we’re creating our own universe and everything else is not canon anymore. And that makes me feel bad for the writers who worked on the books.
I didn’t read all of the books but I did enjoy some of them and I accepted them as canon because they were!
And as a fanfic writer, who wrote a bit in EU, it feels like a slap in the face honestly.

OBSIGIRLI must be a bad fan of Star Wars … never read the books or looked at the movies… unless it came directly from LUCAS I always felt that it was a rip off of someone else’s idea. The few I previewed at the stores I thought were not well written and kind of convoluted…. maybe I got a bad one but I just never found them interesting enough to buy.
Anyway, I would be shocked if the books are referenced in any way in this movie; but not likely.
It is however accepted canon among the fandom that Han and Leia are married. If that’s not there, you mine as well not have any more movies. (which I wouldn’t be sad about, to be honest).
But what would be funny if some of the characters, looked like some of the characters from the EU books but had different names. And those characters had the same personality characteristics as maybe the AU EU counterparts.
Mara Jade is not Mara Jade but someone else, but she still has red hair and a purple/pink lightsaber.
Jaina Solo is not Jaina Solo but she’s still a pilot and can use the Force.
THEY announce the publication of new books related to the new movie… an adult novel spanning the thirty years before the movie and several other young adult and comics that go into the same information. These are suppose to be canon. I am not sure I will get them except I am trying to get my grandson into reading and this might be a way to do it…. We will see.
The new books are suppose to be released starting in September and spaced out until the new movie is released in December.
If I find the link announcing it I will post it here…. I know the books were discussed in a STAR WARS PODCAST I downloaded from iTUNES… There are a bunch of them now and I expect more as it get closer to the release of the movie.
