IMO, this is plain ****ing stupid because there is some nice source elements in the book series, but if a corporate identity or a writer is too arrogant to recognize that for the sake to be "original" then that's a good way to **** up. A perfect example is how George Lucas handled the prequels and ignoring good material that he could've used from the book series.

there wasnt anything there. Lucas kept the timeline for books off limits to pre Epi 4 until PM was almost finished. the solo trilogy is one of the few excptions i can think of.

Fans do.
A well-done Zahn trilogy would rake in mad cash and get great reviews, as well as introduce several really interesting characters.

The bottom line is that those "fans" you speak of maybe equal 2% of potential movie goers, especially when reaching out to a new generation. Six through ten year old kids don't read the EU. I have my doubts that 10-18 year olds read the EU, at least in a significant amount of numbers. |

The lore the books offer is ridunkulous and would introduce a whole new slew of characters for the new generation to fall in love with and covet. It's perfect. The movies can't be worse than the recent trilogy.

But that said, the average movie goer isn't tied in to that mythos and neither are the screenwriters, producers, etc. I re-read the original Zahn trilogy about 10 years ago, after initially reading it when it was released and it did not stand the test of time. |
