Yes, because jumping backwards in chronological time for Episode VII makes so much sense. If you want an Old Republic movie, fine, but it shouldn't be VII.

I have no idea what they're going to do. One possibility is for it to take place after the Legacy of the Force series(which was [poo] and anyone who likes them has bad taste in books and you should feel bad). Which, LotF series took place after the New Jedi Order series (which was also [poo] and anyone who likes them has bad taste in books and you should feel bad).

In a perfect world they'd just make screenplays (written by Timothy Zahn and Joss Whedon) based off of the Thrawn Trilogy. It would be directed by Joss Whedon, soundtrack done by John Williams.

Don't remind me how impossible this ever was and is because of the actor's ages.

Episode 7 title needs to be Heir to the Empire. The actors ages are easy enough to work around, Star Wars was never really about stunts anyway. The Thrawn Trilogy is movie ready, each book starts out with scenes in space, the story is NOT focused only on Jedi and Sith (which was the main problem with the prequels and most I the recent novels) The story is also unique without straying too much from the Star Wars universe.

Also I agree with Wulf... LotF and NJO were terrible. Stick to Zahn Books and the X-wing series

By that logic, George Lucas' method made no sense, since A New Hope WAS originally Episode I. What else would we call movies set in Revan's Era? Episode Negative One?

The only Star Wars book I ever read was Path of Destruction.

I don't read science fiction which does not have the words "Foundation" in the title, sorry. No, not the one with the O5s, either. >_> teh interwebz ar korupting ur mind

A) It wasn't originally episode I. It was originally Star Wars, no episode title at all.
B) What does it mat.ter what it started as? What mat.ters is that a year after release he realized he was going to have the needed money for the rest of the movies, and rereleased it under the new title Episode IV.



Movies set in Revan's era could have their own number series. Star Wars: The Old Republic: Episode X: A New Hat Factory.

Love the reactions so far.
Let's just see how Disney will handle this first and then we can praise or ...I don't want to think about that.

Does Lucas' belief in the End of the World have something to do with it? Let the speculation begin!

Cheers

Lucas needed the money for his doomsday device.
