It is a level of canon below the films.<br /><br />Vader's given age is "wrong", leading to Zahn having to come up with the cunning suggestion that the Noghri answered in their solar year rather than galactic standard. Luke feels a strange sensation when the clones are about, and there's no mention of this in the prequels. There may be some other things, but those are what I remember offhand. It's been a couple of years since I myself reread the series.Peter Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151357767975663350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000895280655907241.post-45547717387486571092012-10-31T08:03:34.353-04:002012-10-31T08:03:34.353-04:00Hasn't Lucas had to approve the Expanded Unive...Hasn't Lucas had to approve the Expanded Universe material though?<br /><br />And what parts of the Thrawn Trilogy have been overwritten by the prequel trilogy?

I am not so sure we're going to see Disney going with it, though. Lucas is staying on as a consultant, and has described his desire to oversee the handover of the franchise while he has time. Now, he won't have control, but he will have input on whatever Disney decides to do. He has shown absolutely no interest in the Expanded Universe. Funnily enough, some of the decisions he made in the Prequels lead to parts of the Thrawn Trilogy (and other EU works) being weird or "wrong". One thing that has excited me about this is that Joss Whedon directed that Avengers flick, a Marvel property, and Disney owns Marvel. Whedon has something of a Midas Touch, and anyone who's seen Firefly/Serenity knows that he is at home with the idea of a ragtag band of rebels facing off against an evil empire.Peter Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151357767975663350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000895280655907241.post-78033527446443206772012-10-30T23:51:55.936-04:002012-10-30T23:51:55.936-04:00I'm giving my take on the merger on November 1...I'm giving my take on the merger on November 1st - I had posts planned for today and tommorow, I hope the news hasn't died down by then!<br /><br />I've never read the Thrawn series though, how is it?
