Doubt it.

And why the heck are people talking about CGI goddamit? Mayhew has been cast for the role for fuck's sake. Don't people click on links anymore?

No.

Shit, you're lucky if they even read a thread all the way through before posting (even if it's less than one fucking page!!)...

Next thing you know, Lucas is going to write a scene where Anakin loses a sabbac match to a young Lando Calrissian.

I wonder if we'll see the Imperial crackdown on Kashyyk in which Chewbacca becomes a slave...

I thought Sabacc was an EU creation?

Kenobi also seems not to know R2-D2 in the OT too, and we never really know what Chewie is saying or hell, what they even said in the Cantina.

All Obi-wan says in ANH is he doesn't seem to remember ever OWNING a droid. He never says he doesn't remembeer R2. As for Chewie:

Obi-wan: "Chewbacca here is first mate on a ship that might suit us"

Obi-wan shows that he's never heard of the Falcon before. That does NOT mean he's never met Chewie.

IIRC Games Storylines can count as cannon. Well according to Galactic Battle Grounds Qui Gon helped a very young Chewie and his dad set up a colony world and indeed pat of the story was that Obi Wan was involved. Maybe thats why Obi Wan approaches Chewie in the 1st place, they have experience. Maybe?

That would be very cool to see. But I doubt we'll be going far enough in where the Emperor is free to do something like that with no resistance from the senate. Actually, no, he could easily make something up, so I guess it IS possible.

The chances of Lucas adhereing to EU, let alone GBG, is slim to none, I mean, hell. One of the few things I think he actually used from EU was the name Coruscant if I remember correctly.

I doubt it matters what Chewie did GBG. He'll probably long moved on from that.

No continuity error.

Lucas used the word Coruscant in the original script or novel or something.

Chewie can interact with Yoda, Mace, Wookie senators, Dex, Jar-Jar (hopefully violently), Count Dooku, Palpatine, a lot of people.

If Chewie is 200 years old and will appear in Episode III, he'd definitely know about the Jedi and would probably admire Kenobi. That might be the reason why he and Kenobi spoke with each other.

Lucas used the word Coruscant in the original script or novel or something.

The StarWars Insider states.

"Although primarily a prequel environment, Coruscant can trace its origin to Return of the Jedi. The city-planet appeared in early script drafts under the name Had Abbadon, then came to life in 1997's Special Edition in a revised final scene showing celebrations across the galaxy. Though the planet went unnamed on screen, George Lucas had already decided to use the name that author Timothy Zahn had invented for the 1991 novel Heir to the Empire. Commented Lucas in The annotated Screenplays, "Of course, I had a million names for the home planet of the Empire, but Coruscant came out of [Lucasfilm] Publishing."

...I guess maybe I got it confused with Alderaan being Coruscant in his original....script....or...something......I'll just shut up now.

AHA!

In this early incarnation, the planet is the gaseous world of Alderaan, and the Imperial capital rests atop a floating city suspended among the cumulus clouds.

THAT'S where I got it confused from.

But he'd also know the Jedi were wiped out, if he didn't know Kenobi personally he'd have no reason to trust him.

Yeah, I can understand getting confused from that...It's Coruscant, Alderaan, and Cloud City all mixed up into one.

Illuminatus Primus · Post by **Illuminatus Primus** » 2003-04-25 03:30pm

In the original drawings, the galactic capital was like Coruscant as we know it--glittering planet-wide city.

By ROTJ, it had evolved into Had Abbadon. Had Abbadon was more like Byss. It was a cloudy, bleak, and dark world with a Imperial city and other cities but no planet-covering cityscape.

It didn't make it into ROTJ, but WEG took the Imperial city concept and named it Imperial Center.

Zahn came along and went back to the original drawings and the Foundation series Trantor to envision Coruscant.

Akm72 · Post by **Akm72** » 2003-04-25 04:01pm

I'm pretty sure WEG mentioned the name Coruscant as the Imperial capital in one of their sourcebooks. I'll see if I can find it...

Akm72 · Post by **Akm72** » 2003-04-25 04:11pm

No I'm wrong, I had a vague memory something, but it refered to 'Imperial City'.

The way he handled the thugs with his lightsaber probably convinced him he was a Jedi. NTM, wasn't he wearing Jedi robes?

Akm72 · Post by **Akm72** » 2003-04-25 05:10pm

Anyone can wear the robes, even a Sith in disguise
