The way I see it is that Star Wars, for all we know, is actually going to hapen due to the fact that we are on the verge of colonization of Mars and such.  Maybe we are what Star Wars will become.  Here's an incredibly ridiculous idea.  What if George Lucas fell into a wormhole somewhere on Earth and was transported to an alternative universe were everything Star Wars is true, has happened, and he studied it for years while it was only seconds on Earth, and he came back and profited off of it?  That may seem just plain ludicrous, but how else do you explain him knowing everything there is to the Star Wars universe?

 

he has a very creative mind

He dosent

 

The writers havent told him about Ben Skywalker yet, as far as I know. Seriously.

he knows, he is told about major developments like children and charactor deaths, on top of that i read somewhere that he aproved of the NJO story line so he should know of ben

he approved the storyline, but Sue Rostoni said that they didnt tell Lucas they gave Luke a kid.

As far as im aware doesnt George Lucas have to approve every storyline before it can be published or at least Lucasbooks have to approve them.

I've heard that he reads through them (perhaps not word for word, but at least to get the characters, plotpoints, etc.)

Letting star wars die is one thing. But overkill is another. Star Wars has and always will be a classic but I think the EU has reached it's peak and it's becoming very stupid. Before long all sorts of stuff will come out of it and everyone will associate this new bad material and eventually give star wars a bad name.

Could you give an example? lol....aside from some early games, Infinities (of course they don't really count), and such, I can't think of anything that's outright negative...

Besides, GL has renounced the CS publicly.

 

He once said that if he had the time and a sledgehammer, he'd smash every last copy of it.  ;D

lol, since when was that canon? I've always thought it was intentionally spoofy...still infernally horrid though....ugh...they could've made it awesome if they put Chewie in a santa outfit though... ;D

hey people the SW universe is immense. There are lots of stories which can be told. From the Old Republic there is KOTOR themed for example post Endor-Timothy Zan's trilogy. Damn Lucas go to work now!!!!!!!!!!

what bugs me is that he says he won't make films with content from the EU books because if he referenced one he'd have to refer to them all (fairness), yet he makes up new content that often contradicts the EU books instead. The CW series vs Labrinth of Evil, for example.
