I'm just of the opinion that this 'plot line' was written by someone who has only seen the movies and not read any of the books, and I just can't see Disney/Lucas Films throwing away hundreds of thousands of pages of story line to push out that stinker.

If it does turn out to be the plotline, however, Abrams will have his first real bomb, and probably the biggest flop since Highlander 2. (everyone remembers Highlander 2, don't they?)

Faux Trek was his ultimate bomb. I don’t care if it made a billion, it was the biggest defecation in human history on the preeminent science fiction franchise... by a Star Wars fanboi.

Well the “destroy solar systems” idea sounds to me like it was stolen from one of the books, “The Star Crusher” I think the weapon was called, caused stars to go supernova.

Obviously these new films will disregard the continuity of the myriad of post ROJ novels which show you the next 20+ years of every main character’s life, they pretty much have to, I don’t have a problem with that. But would it would be nice if the plot didn’t suck.

It would be VERY hard to do as bad as the prequels but Abrams is capable of it.

Are the books considered canon? I know the cartoon series Clone Wars was.

Well, I had forgotten it... Thanks for dredging up old nightmares and pulling the scab off my wounded psyche.

Remember laser discs? Bought one in the BX way back in 1992 or 1993. The only disc they had in inventory at the time that I had any desire to watch was Highlander 2. Everything else really sucked worse than that (yes, selection was that bad). I'm so grateful that fate played its hand on that deal. The player didn't work, so I took the whole thing back for a refund, disc included, which added up to over $400 in 1993 dollars.

I was a student at U-Mass Amherst and took the free bus to see Highlander 2 at the mall one fateful night.
The first one was so good that i just had to see it’s incredible sequel whether i go alone or not.

Well, up until “Couples Retreat” it was the only movie i ever paid for then walked out.
Alien 3 my buddy walked out and went bowling while i suffered but i still stuck though that mulffled crapola BUT Highlander 2?
UGHHHHHHHHH.......
What a mess.....
