Star Wars Episode VIII & the Previous Expanded Universe Franchise

Filming on Star Wars Episode VIII has began in London. My theory on Episode VIII is that Rey is Luke's daughter. Yes, that's a popular one, but I have to say that I agree with it. I also want to say that I'm actually glad that the current SW Marvel comics are considered canon by Disney/Lucasfilm. From what I've read of these comics, they're well written. The previous Expanded Universe franchise(now known as Legends) had departed so far away from the source material(the films) that the EU had to be rebooted. Seemed like the publishers of those novels and comics were pretty much slapping the Star Wars brand on every manuscript that passed in their direction. I wish that the novels and comics from that time had been paced a little better. Maybe release a novel every two to three years(just like the movies) with the comics used as filler material in between the novel releases. Anyway, that's just one guy's opinion. That's about it for for this blog entry, kids. Until next time, be good, if you can't be good, then be careful, or at least be good at it. 'Later.
