F that.  I want me some J Anderson/Hambly/McIntyre awesomeness.  Gimme a Hutt building the Darksaber!!!11

 

Yeah, some of the EU stuff I really liked... some of it was dumb as poo... so it may not be a bad thing that they're going their own direction.

FWIW I wanted Gleeson to be Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones... I think he'll do great in Star Wars...

Although I am a big fan of most of the EU, asking a writer or director to make a Star Wars movie and then tie them down to all that stuff is a hard sell. I still think Splinter of the Minds Eye, the first spin off book from Star Wars, is fantastic even though Han was long gone, it features a crystal that has powers over the Force, Luke and Vader fight before TESB, etc.

JJ is a racist. No Lando is just wrong.

And they discarded the EU

As for the fate of the Expanded Universe, fans can take heart in the knowledge that it isn’t being discarded entirely. According to a statement recently released by Lucasfilm, the creative teams involved with each new project will be able to pick and choose elements from the EU to include in future works. For example, Clone Wars found ways to incorporate fan-favorite EU characters such as the rogue Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos, while the upcoming Rebels promises to feature the Imperial Security Bureau, the TIE Fighter manufacturer Sienar Fleet Systems and other organizations that were first introduced in the Star Wars role-playing games of the 1980s.

The old books, video games and comics, meanwhile, will be re-printed under the newly formed “Legends” banner, thus ensuring that future generations will not be denied the twisted genius of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the iconic, Sherlock Holmes-esque villain of the Zahn novels, although his piercing red eyes, azure complexion and sinister intelligence practically cry out for a big screen realization by the likes of Hugo Weaving, Jeremy Irons or Benedict Cumberbatch. Oh well. Maybe they’re saving him for Episode VIII.

Star Wars: Episode VII is creeping towards production, and that means it more than likely has at least a working title, if not the final title. Most of the 13 members of the cast that were announced were photographed at a table read, and the script probably said more than just Episode VII.

Ain't It Cool claims they've heard rumors about the working title for a while and recently received independent confirmation from a source that they were correct. According to their report, the rumored working title of Episode VII is The Ancient Fear.

But, that's not all! AICN's source stated "The Ancient Fear" has to do with the film's villain: ""it refers to Max von Sydow's villain who makes Pazuzu look like a pussy!"

Max von Sydow as the villain wouldn't be that surprising, and in fact, could be amazing. He has the gravitas to be as formidable as Sidious. If the working title is true, does The Ancient Fear mean he's a villain who has been in play for a while? Time will tell.

 

 

Now that the working title has been leaked you know that won't be it.
