That may be true and this new "Star Wars" comic series is to keep the Big 3 stories alive so as to smooth over their deaths or disappearances with the fanbase. And the reason I say disappearance is because maybe Mortis will be involved and the Big 3 will have to stay there to bring that balance to the Force. This would take the Big 3 out of the picture and they wouldn't have to die. Making almost everyone happy. Just a thought.

I'm pretty sure they aren't going to have the Big 3 wiped out here. I think it's like others have pointed out, this will be a nice big send off for them, with other books following the new generation. And I think if it goes after that sort of goal, it could be a really fun novel. _________________

Sets up new series..... well that's unfortunate. Probably means that the LTOTS will be promptly forgotton and allowed to fade into obscurity by the sounds of things. Which I definitely do not like, given that it makes zero sense for them to not be hunted by the Jedi. Then again, the Vong post-NJO haven't exactly gotten much of a mention, despite taking over half the galaxy. So I guess that's just how we roll.

Ultimatedash Knight Joined: 20 Jun 2012 Posts: 128 I don't think it's unreasonable for the LTOTS to go away for awhile. The Jedi killed a lot of their leadership, so they're gonna be much more careful, the Jedi still don't know where their homeworld is, so beyond a mention that they have a few Jedi looking into them, I don't think we need more than that right now.

Exactly, but I think the worry is that they'll just be ignored like the Vong were after NJO. Such a major villain, the galaxy completely overhauled, and then they just vanished never to be heard of again. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

So, with this being a passing of the torch, do you guys want the big 3 gone, or for say Luke to take on more of a yoda role, being pretty much just an advisor.

Even Yoda only lasted about 30 minutes worth of screen time in the OT. Luke, Han, and Leia surviving all the time is getting unrealistic. Might be time to just finish it. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.
