Guest Scathane Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 At the very least. That's if you don't count any of the hundreds of smaller Republics between only a few planets or even continents! I understand that. What I meant was: there was the Galactic Republic befor the Galactic Empire and the New Republic after the Galactic Empire, right?
SOCL Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 I wouldn't really know, SOCL. Haven't there been two republics in the SW EU timeline?What I meant was: there was the Galactic Republic befor the Galactic Empire and the New Republic after the Galactic Empire, right?Well, yes and no (actually, no and yes, respectively). No, there have not been two republics in the SW EU timeline, there has only been one, the New Republic. The EU timeline, to my understanding, is everything after Return of the Jedi, so only one galactic republic then. Yes, though, there was a galactic republic (referred to as the Old Republic) before the Galactic Empire and there was a one (referred to as the New Republic) after.

Guest Scathane Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 If you ask me, EU is everything that wasn't in any of the movies...
SOCL Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 If you ask me, EU is everything that wasn't in any of the movies...In accordance to what Expanded Universe actually means, I agree, but I do not believe that EU is correct termonology for everything that's not the movies.

You mean that EU isn't meant to be everything that's not in the movies, but that in reality it does, right?What I had meant by what I had said that by the definition of the phrase (Expanded Universe), yes, your statement is true. But in accordance to STAR WARS terminology, Expanded Universe is only post-ROTJ. So: EU is post-ROTJ, nothing else.Before ANH that is not in the movies is simply considered Prequel Universe, though there are sub-categories. WOOHOO! One post ago I was promoted to colonel!

Guest Scathane Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 But in accordance to STAR WARS terminology, Expanded Universe is only post-ROTJ. So: EU is post-ROTJ, nothing else.And from whence you owe this strange intelligence? I beg to differ... You see, http://starwars.com (which I presume uses Star Wars terminology) uses three designations in its databank : - In the movies- Expanded universe- Behind the scenesSo, unless you come up with some more authorative source, I am just going to take it for a fact that expanded universe means everything that wasn't in the movies. Before ANH that is not in the movies is simply considered Prequel Universe, though there are sub-categories. Sure. Let me guess: Episode I Universe and Episode II Universe... Everything before the prequels we call Preprequel Universe... Really? . . . or are you mocking me? I always mock you, SOCL!
Trejiuvanat Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 The EU can be divided in five groups. Sith Era (from the beginning to Ep I)Prequel Era (Eps I-III)Classic Era (Eps IV-VI)New Republic Era (Ep VI- Vector Prime)NJO (Vector Prime- Unifying Force) http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif
Trejiuvanat Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 Yeah, the only thing that remains to be seen is what happen after NJO http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif
Guest Scathane Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Yeah, the only thing that remains to be seen is what happen after NJO You mean that NJO's sort of finished in the novels?
SOCL Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 , unless you come up with some more authorative source, I am just going to take it for a fact that expanded universe means everything that wasn't in the movies.Okay, Scath, I may have been mistaken; chill. You win.You mean that NJO's sort of finished in the novels?I haven't heard of any plans for after NJO . . . but then again, I may be wrong again.

Trejiuvanat Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 Haven't heard either, so far Del Rey has also started to publish books in the new rep era and of course the prequel era especially the cloen wars. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif
Guest Scathane Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 Well, taking into account that GL's merchandise is pointing the other way in the EU (KOTOR, Bounty Hunter, etc.), the following books will probably be prequel or sith era as well.
SOCL Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 Well, at least with the prequel books being made will be a few by Timothy Zahn, specifically one between TPM and AOTC that talks about Thrawn's origin more closely and the Outbound Flight (which I thought is something that should not be left out of the prequels . . . after all, it was a rather big political and social move for the Republic). Those are the books I am most looking forward to. SOCL: Putting the BE in BEAK.Read the Forum Rules - Welcome the New Members - Rebellion Reloaded -
Trejiuvanat Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 I posted in some other thread that zahn will be writing three short stories, about 90 pgs each, linking the prequels to his books and subtly to the thrawn trilogy. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif

Trejiuvanat Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 I wonder how Anakin and Ben will fit in the story. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif
SOCL Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 I wonder how Anakin and Ben will fit in the story.Perhaps they won't . . . as direct, main characters that is (like how Luke was in the X-Wing novels). SOCL: Putting the BE in BEAK.Read the Forum Rules - Welcome the New Members - Rebellion Reloaded -
Trejiuvanat Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 Zahn stated that they won't necessarily be the main chars, but they'll have an important role. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif
