I enjoyed every single book in this trilogy and its Neal Stephenson-like prose, circa Cryptonomicon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 What is the current plan for new EU novels now anyway? I know there's more Thrawn and TROS novelization but it seems like that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something called 'Project Luminous' that's due to be announced - if not launch outright - soon. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Project_Luminous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfel Cadarn Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Interestingly thing about the new Thrawn books is that Zahn has written them to fit with both the new continuity and the old EU. They’re the only SW books I bother with now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That includes the new Poe Dameron retcon novel they've had to write because Rise of Skywalker completely pissed all over the backstory the previous novels and comics had carefully set up for him because Abrams. "Canon." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those reading this and wondering just how many media tie-ins Poe appears in: Poe appears in a fair number of comic books and YA books, and has only one appearance in an "adult" book - Rebecca Roanhorse's Resistance Reborn (which I've not yet read).

Darth Richard II Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Ugh, that pissed me off so much. The new EU was starting to get really good and COHERENT with everything tied together then TROS shit all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, his entire past has been extremely covered in the comics, and the whole thing just doesn't fit his character AT ALL. But it gave us Babu Frick so it's ok. Anyway the rumor is project luminous is going to be set 300 or so years before Ep 1, so I doubt that will have any post Ep 9 stuff, but who the fork knows at this point?

Yeah its rumored to be tied to project luminous as well, but no one knows. 7 minutes ago, IlyaP said: So what happened there, with them not, y'know, being keepers of internal consistency? No one knows but the rumor is the writers of Ep 9 pretty much did whatever the hell they wanted and because of all the secrecy surrounding the film the story group basically had no idea what the film was even going to be about. I mean, a bit of ranting here, but if you read any of the interviews with Terrio Terio? Whatever his name, he obviously knows jack shit about any Star Wars expanded lore.
