So this is how it ends

[Mat8876]

So is Wookiepedia going down now? Or parts of it being deleated?

It will stay up just anything that does change to Non-canon will be shown that it is.

[Slornie]

I've no doubt it's going to cause the Wookiepedia staff one or two headaches over the next couple of years!  For instance, do they go down the route of having separate Luke Skywalker (Canon) and Luke Skywalker (Legends) pages, or continue with the current system of a single page with various elements labelled as out-of-canon (and then how do they distinguish between elements previously deemed non-canon vs the Expanded Universe and between Expanded Universe elements newly deemed non-canon vs the Story Group consolidated canon?).

Or Disney will just create their own and shut Wookieepedia down.

Keep in mind, all they said was that they'd change canon to include what they like and the new stuff, and scrap the rest. We don't know what's getting axed exactly. At this point, statements like 'they're getting rid of the Vong' or 'they're undoing Chewbacca's death' or 'Zahn is non-canahn' are more or less all speculation.

Well it now seems pretty safe to say they're undoing Chewie's death!

Star Wars Episode 7 Cast Announced

The Star Wars team is thrilled to announce the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII.

Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.


EDIT: I wonder if Andy Serkis is going to be doing another motion-capture character?

[Revanchist]

Still hoping he will only be in flashbacks

[Mat8876]

Well it now seems pretty safe to say they're undoing Chewie's death!

That would be the cherry on the top of the cake if chewie lives on.

[Lord Xizer]

Ill just treat this new universe as a one to avoid. I'll keep my wraiths, rogues, pellaeon, thrawn and vong adventures thank you very much

[Singularity]

If my expectations weren't at ******* below-sea level I might be getting hyped.

Agreed, I'm going to live my life and ignore everything from Disney-verse SW.

If the Vong are erased, Legacy might be erased. Good riddance. Maybe they'll give Chewbacca a better death.

[Slornie]

If the Vong are erased, Legacy might be erased. Good riddance. Maybe they'll give Chewbacca a better death.

Or they could bait and switch and set the new trilogy right after the Vong War, with Chewie retconned to have somehow survived Sernpidal (hey, if Boba can escape the Sarlacc anything is possible!)?

And there we go, the Thrawn Trilogy is officially Star Wars Legends.

Chaos take them all!

Don't worry, Knickers and I are reworking all of our particles to add appropriate Abrams-Levels of Lens Flare right now.

Wouldn't that be bad for our eyes?

Do we need to add another disclaimer to the mod's readme too? Something along the lines of:

Yeah? Well...

I think Wookieepedia's quote of the day is very poignant given the recent events; just thought I would share it with y'all:

"People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians [...]."
―George Lucas in 1988

[Slornie]

Did Wookieepedia roll that quote out last time George meddled with the Original Trilogy for a special edition too?
