Factors now to attach with our minds

Contradicts something else that happened in a previously released book



Watch The Grand Budapest Hotel Online Here’s an official video about the Expanded Universe that Kathleen Kennedy and company put up alongside the announcement. Foreign market trailers, nine times out of ten, are good chances for a studio to try something a little new with their marketing strategy. In the case of Godzilla, Warner Brothers wisely decided to focus more on emotional storytelling, as well as give Ken Watanabe more of a prominent role than the rest of the ensemble. Done right, an international trailer can be icing on the cake of sales for Internet accessible audiences around the world. Done wrong, like the Transformers: Age of Extinction international clip we’re about to show you, and you’re just getting more of the same.



Watch The Amazing Spider Man 2 Online George Lucas may have had lofty ideas in his head when he started work on Star Wars, but at that point, he couldn’t have possibly realized how far his universe would expand. In fact, we know he didn’t have a multi-billion dollar empire in mind because he lost millions to Steven Spielberg betting against his treasured film’s success. As the money poured in, he was great about giving others opportunities to play in that universe, but now that Disney is steering the ship, we need to all realize changes like this are coming. Given how the last three movies turned out, change will probably be a good thing too.



Watch Divergent Online "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. While the universe that readers knew is changing, it is not being discarded."



Watch Bears Online That’s a decision that might piss off a minority of hardcore fans, but honestly, it needed to be done. The essence of Star Wars needs to remain the same, but the creative minds working on new projects need to be given space to work. They can’t be receiving an army of notes about random things that happened in books they’ve never read. Besides, books have already gone into graphic detail about what supposedly happened after Return Of The Jedi, and that would suck if JJ Abrams had to sit down and adapt those stories directly.



Watch Non Stop Online "While Lucasfilm always strived to keep the stories created for the EU consistent with our film and television content as well as internally consistent, Lucas always made it clear that he was not beholden to the EU. He set the films he created as the canon. This includes the six Star Wars episodes, and the many hours of content he developed and produced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. These stories are the immovable objects of Star Wars history, the characters and events to which all other tales must align."



Watch The Hunger Games 2 Online In a pretty straight ahead statement released on the official Star Wars website, the producers tackled the issue of the Expanded Universe head on. Apparently, LucasFilm head Kathleen Kennedy has formed a story group. Its members will now oversee all aspects of the franchise’s creative development. They will draw liberally from the Expanded Universe, but and most importantly, they will not be beholden to it.



That’s right. Let me just reiterate that. If the Star Wars creative team wants to do something that directly contradicts something else that happened in a previously released book, they’re free to do that. They will not, under any circumstances, however, contradict anything that happened in any of the six films or on Star Wars: Clone Wars.



The video starts out interesting enough, with Mark Wahlberg, enthusiastic as ever to plug his new movie. When Mark Wahlberg gets excited, it’s hard not to follow him along, as he kinda lights up like a six year old with a shiny Tonka truck. (If you got to star in a movie where you fought with robot dinosaurs tearing up a city, you’d probably be happy like he’s happy.) Expressing his sincerest wishes that Japanese audiences enjoy the clip he’s presenting, he announces his latest film as Transformers: Lost Age. Wait… isn’t the film named Age of Extinction?
