What did Lucas take from the EU and put in the Prequels?

[Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi]

Wasn't the Outrider seen in ANH? It could have been something else, since we don't see much of it.

[Master of Ossus]

The Twi'lek Jedi seen in AotC, Aalya Secura, was from the EU. She was a comic book character that GL liked.

[Lord Poe]

As far as YT1300s I'm surprised we're not seeing them in the prequels.

Actually, we see two of them when Anakin and Padme arrive at Naboo.

[Cal Wright]

Bullshit Mr. Poe. Hmm, I'll have to wait until the DVD hits...wait just a damn second. I know! I'll just make up some damned debate about the age of YT1300s and see if Darkstar will post pictures on his page!!! Heh. Actually I just want to see the damned things. Just thought it would be interesting. I would definitely like to see some Corvettes. That would be interesting to have them escorting Acclamators since they supposedly have starfighter defenses.

[His Divine Shadow]

I don't think you can chalk this one up to Eu. We don't know how old Jabba was in RotJ, but it wasn't *that* long. certainly, HJabba would have been alive, unless his species has a avery fast growing cycle.

It's not mentioned in the OT, nor is the fact that the Hutt's are like a huge crime organization, something the OT never implied even.
From watching the OT one might think Jabba = crime lord, but it's actually more like Hutts = Crime lords

Except I think both these were not precisely depicted in the EU and both were taken from rumors or interviews with george

They where mentioned, their original source as I said is irrelevant.
The Sith especially where mentioned in that sith book or whatever it was.

GASP! Refer not to Zahn doth you Stravo? Least I have to smite you

NO BEAN. Absolutely not. Zahn is the ONLY reason I don't consider the EU total shit. Zahn made me start loving Star Wars again after years of a haitus. It was the flood of shit like Crystal Star and Jedi Academy trilogy that made me turn my nose up to the EU and am proud to say I haven't read a book since.

I am a disciple of Zahn...and don't you forget it!!

You just read the worst stinkers then, comparing the rest of the EU to those is like asking for a stardestroyer to fire on you.

5. The way Palpatine went about destroying the Old Republic is also shown in the manner depicted in the EU

Actually Coruscant wasn't EU, it was a GL concept. Ralph McQuarrie drew pictures of it in the 70's but GL couldn't afford to put them in SW at that time. Although I'm not sure if the name Coruscant is EU, but the concept of a city-planet is all GL. Look at the Illustrated Star Wars Universe.

Yes, but the orginial name was New Abbadon, which sort of exists in EU, because Palpatine was slowly moving the Goverment there after Hoth. Coruscant is a totally EU name though.

Nitpick for you: Work on ROTJ didn't start until 1980, with most starting in 1981. And it was called Had Abbadon.

DG_Cal_Wright, the YT-1300s were definately in AOTC...

By now, many have spotted the familiar Millennium Falcon-style Corellian freighters docked on Naboo. "It was George Lucas' idea," says VFX Supervisor Pablo Helman. "He said something like, 'should we dare go there?' And we did." In addition to those saucer-shaped freighters, expanded universe fans might be able to spot a Corellian bulk freighter, the same model as Talon Karrde's Wild Karrde.

[Spanky The Dolphin]

Oh my God, does this mean that the Action VI freighter is now Canon?

Hot Damn!

Whther or not some EU writer chose to use it, the fact remains these were originally Lucas' concepts. He can hardly be said to have taken it from the EU if the EU took it from him.

As I said, it only affirms the EU's reliability since it uses concepts directly from Lucas, I already said this wouldn't be discussed, it onlybogs down the thread, what I wanted was a clean listing of all the events, nothing more, if that is going to be hard to follow I'll get pissed and have some mod delete all deviant posts.

Glad to see that free discussion of ideas is alive and well in your world HDS

Not that I generally care for such concepts when I have the possbility of suffocating all othersbut my own, it's irrelevant anyhow, this free discussion and such is also known as thread hijacking and irrelevant to my goals for said thread.
