[...] Lucas had written in the form of two trilogies. In 1979, creator George Lucas announced that “after the success of Star Wars, I added another trilogy. So now there are nine stories”. Most Star Wars fans were aware of the plan for a sequel trilogy, and the acquisition of Lucasfilm [...]

It woud be nice to see how Starkiller ( Character from the video games TheForce Unleashed ) fits into the sequels!!!…after all, he appears in the story on both SWFU I & II and is involved with all the known characters.

A long time ago, in a Lucasfilm movie I was in as a kid -I call it “Duck Disaster”, I was a precocious child-prodigy actress/model/singer who George took under his wing and taught his personal version of “filmmaking” to, his episode order of 456, 123, 789 sequenced saga makes perfect sense to me. My identity, according to George back then, has gone from imaginary to vividly personal, and ironic in coincidence. I read the novel of empire (started in the middle -recognized Han and Leia as my long lost parents? Looked at the first pages for reference -then got impatient and skipped to the end. One reason George made sense to me…) one random conversation with George wound up with him declaring that based on my personality and traits -it was clear to him that I was Han and Leia’s long lost daughter… Which he described in the same details I had imagined -but never told about. The daughter had no name, but was my profile and personality, combined with my slow sarcastic speech and my endless mimic of my galactic parents verbal exchange. George was so insistent of this identity he said if the story progression evolved to my character being part of filming, he expected me to be cast as their daughter on screen. I was sceptical, but agreed on 2 conditions 1) I got to fly the falcon at age 9 (random choice) &2) I would get to be a Jedi knight -first female one, with my custom made purple lightsaber.
This was years ago, one of many random and eccentric exchanges that George came up with that had me lost in his imagination. Word gets around, or went through the galactic grapevine, I saw a book with “Star Wars” on the cover, inside I found myself as the daughter in such exact detail it shocked me -the only detail unfamiliar was the name, but otherwise I was unmistakably Jaina Solo. I had and have a public profile that isn’t directly linked to my name, & I’ve been an actress etc. All the details are public access and have been borrowed -Jaina is the one that’s become vividly personal. Not too long ago, after viewing my headshot -I even wound up looking like the child Han and Leia would have? They cast me in the upcoming episodes -as a possible storyline… The future of star wars hasn’t made up it’s mind regarding plot or story, I’m cast on hold, and not just in the films -among other things (which I can’t disclose at this time) I become a living Disney Princess? Now that I can do, greeting guests and singing “Princess Jaina” songs -yet unwritten, of course. I’ll have to borrow the one from Enchanted “How do you know he loves you”,
I find the first verse appropriate “its not enough to take the one you love for granted…”
Of course, this is still a maybe/maybe not undecided action.
I’m unmistakably Jaina, but if this star wars character is cast aside, I’m letting go of the fictional identity crisis and bidding the galaxy farewell… Not in any negative way, but if Jaina doesn’t need my life anymore, I’d like to live as myself?

Eahaddix, you would probably enjoy reading The New Jedi Order series of the expanded universe, that is about the whole issue of old jedi order rules verses the force not having light or dark side just intent. New enemy in the Yuuzhan Vong aliens from outside the galaxy that are not connected to the force. It’s also about Han and Leia’s kids growing into adulthood. Has the whole galaxy at war trying to stay alive and survive against the enemies “holy war”. Has a pretty dark story with lots of mystery. I believe it would be a good Episode 6 storyline. Though I don’t like the appearance of the Yuuzhan Vong and they would need CGI to do their faces “ugly, self injury inflicting people”.

I am a huge fan of the Star Wars Movies and I have started reading the books, I am an even bigger fan of the books. I am reading them in chronological orderand I am 15 books in. Unfortunately and fortunately I started out of order with the Thrawn Trilogy. I do not know which one they are going to use but The Thrawn Trilogy would be an excellent series to use because it has old familiar characters as well as excellent new characters to carry on the franchise.

i’m a huge fan of the expanded universe and i’m sure that most real star wars fans are too because that is the only material we’ve had between and after the movies, any other story line I think would crush the real fans, I couldn’t imagine a post ROTJ world without Jacen and Jaina, or Ben Skywalker, or Mara Jade, or Kyp Durron and so forth.
