I enjoyed the EU stuff cuz I grew up in the 80's... but I always knew it was junk when compared to the films, I'm just a Star Wars junky and would take anything I could get in the late 80's. I tried to read Zahn's novels but found them incredibly boring and missing the point of what Star Wars OT was supposed to be about (unfortunately Lucas forgot too). <br /><br />What I mean by that is Lucas took a great deal of time to form analogies between mythology and old Kurosawa films, visually and conceptually, and that's what gave Star Wars it's sense of mystery. <br /><br />JJ abrams doesn't want to recreate Zahn's stuff because He never read those books, so if you want to see Mara Jade or dead chewbacca then forget about it. <br /><br />And about this whole "people buying stuff when you weren't born yet"... I bought every damn Star Wars comic book, PC game (up until 2003), each edition of SW film release, etc, etc, etc. I've done my time boy. But I'll leave all those where they belong... in the storage unit @ my old home town. I don't want those people making the movies. And I'm happy with John Williams scoring SW thank you very much. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312708688063344147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-18669583847322677432014-05-09T15:59:51.681+01:002014-05-09T15:59:51.681+01:00And also JJ is better.
