Star Wars 7 Plot Details Emerge

Lucasfilm has revealed that the new Star Wars films will NOT be a post-Return of the Jedi* Expanded Universe for the new trilogy*

CelebNMusic247.com has also learned that the possibilities of the upcoming trilogy will feature characters such as Han and Leia’s twin children Jacen and Jaina Solo, Grand Admiral Thawn and Mara Jade Skywalker.

The Star Wars website reveals that Lucasfilm describes the Expanded Universe (EU) as “anything in the Star Wars universe outside the scope of the movies or TV shows, such as books, comics, games, etc.”

It also talked about:

“While Lucasfilm always strived to keep the stories created for the EU consistent with our film and television content as well as internally consistent, George Lucas always made it clear that he was not beholden to the EU.”

“In order to give maximum creative freedom to the filmmakers and also preserve an element of surprise and discovery for the audience, Star Wars Episodes VII-IX will not tell the same story told in the post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe.”

As for the EU, Lucasfilm said that Expanded Universe content would appear in the new animated series Star Wars Rebels.

“While the universe that readers knew is changing, it is not being discarded.”

“Creators of new Star Wars entertainment have full access to the rich content of the Expanded Universe. For example, elements of the EU are included in Star Wars Rebels.”

“The Inquisitor, the Imperial Security Bureau, and Sienar Fleet Systems are story elements in the new animated series, and all these ideas find their origins in role-playing game material published in the 1980s.”
