Quote from: bbmike on March 12, 2015, 01:40:36 PMRogue One? Will it be based on those books Martok is always raving about?

probably not, since Disney's disavowed 30+ years of Star Wars content so they don't have to worry about continuity issues and can just make shit up as they go along

they could've just filmed the fucking Zahn trilogy and called it good - it would've been better than the prequels by a mile and a half.

I'm with you.  It's almost as if nobody wants to take Zahn's trilogy and turn it into a movie even though they had the chance before the prequels came out.  Zahn's books go way past all of the movies, even the originals.  Zahn to me is like Dan Abnett or any of the other WH40K authors from the U.K.

I'm going to start making T-shirts that say "Zahn wrote first!"

I can add stickers to the store.  Figured we'd start with shirts and expand from there
