I'm cool with that being the case as long as

Luke doesn't lose his head like Obi Wan and is only part of movie 7 with small cameos in 8 and 9 etc

If Solo's daughter, Jaina, is in this movie, that means that Jacen is too (They are twins). And since the news are saying that Han Solo has a 'gigantic' role... then that means...

 

This new trilogy will be about Darth Caedus people! The best character in al the SW fictions.

 

Edit: Another hint that could support my theory is that they already said that the Sith are not the bad guys in this new movie. Jacen Solo, as a Jedi, fought against the Yuuzhan Vong, an outer galaxy race that nearly destroyed the new republic.

Thats how he became a war hero, a Jedi leader and latter he was known as the greatest Jedi traitor, even greater than Vader.

None of them exists in the movie universe. Solo could be divorced form Leia and married to a twi'lek rogue with a kid named Ti'ki for all we know in this movie. 

And lets hope, if they read any of the EU for inspiration, that any of the books with yuuzhan Vong is ignored along with the ridiculous dark empire crap. 

 

but according to their own statements you shouldn't expect anything from the EU.

I hope for the contrary. I actually find Jacen Solo's story fascinating... and I used to hate the SW universe.

God I hated those things soooo much. I stopped reading the EU books because of those.

 

Only thing I want from the EU, is Thrawn!

The entire EU is officially non-canon. Expect nothing.

They have officially said EU has been thrown out of the official Canon timeline. 

 

They might use some parts of EU books/stores/universe for inspiration, but that's about it, and even that they have not even hinted at. 

 

Which is good because after Yuuzhan Vong and Dark empire there was nothing Star Wars about it. it was a ridiculous who could build the biggest stupid superweapon contest and in the comics, none of the machines even resemble Star Wars. and everything was super this and super that and organic super weapon robots crap...

 

not even touching the absolutely idiotic steam powered spaceships in the nebula...ungh...

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
