ChiefsPlanet - Movies and TV Disney buys Lucasfilm for $4 billion

Also, there was announcement that the final 13 episodes of the Clone Wars will air next year (Season Six). I haven't watched it in years due to time constraints but I'll probably buy the boxed set at some point because by season four, it was pretty damn good.

Is it a premium channel? Just asking, I have no idea. If so, that's odd because it's the only Disney channel to run commercial advertising.

Disney Junior and Disney channel only run promos and cross promotions, no true advertising.

No not premium but it would require me to throw nearly $60 at cable to get it.

Zahn's original trilogy aside, in which he was greatly restrained story-wise because Lucas planned to explore the prequels at some point, Zahn is, IMO, the best EU author.

He's best when writing about his own characters. Jorj Car'Das is the single most interesting character in the EU, IMO, and his backstory is explained in later Zahn books. Talon Karde is also a cool character as well.

In most EU stories, Luke, references to Anakin/Vader, Obi-Wan, Palpatine and basically any movie character are boring. There is so much constraint on those characters because Lucas didn't want anyone to contradict his future movies. So Han, Lando, Luke, Leia, et al appear boring and wooden, IMO.

Another of my EU favs was I, Jedi. Very good writing, cool story and very little interaction with the OT characters.

Holee shit. Dane and I actually agree on something.

Oh, that blows.

It also doesn't make much sense. Oh well...

Yeah, and it looks awesome. The Clone Wars looked great at the end and the voice casting was nothing short of excellent.

The new series looks to be even better and the storyline sounds awesome.

Who doesn't want to see Jedi killed at the hands of a Sith Lord every week?
