@@brittanybecker170 "Hated" it so much that he introduced entire worlds and characters from the EU into the prequel films with their entire descriptions, names, characteristics, backstories, etc. intact such as Aalya Secura, Coruscant, the entire Mandalorian Language, Kyber crystals, and even Boba Fett. "Hated" it so much that entire events from the EU were referenced and outright mentioned as early as even Empire Strikes Back. "After Star Wars was released, it became apparent that my story-however many films it took to tell-was only one of thousands that could be told about the characters who inhabit its galaxy. But these were not stories that I was destined to tell. Instead, they would spring from the imagination of other writers, inspired by the glimpse of a galaxy that Star Wars provided. Today, it is an amazing, if unexpected, legacy of Star Wars that so many gifted writers are contributing new stories to the Saga." ―George Lucas, from the introduction of Splinter of the Mind's Eye, 1996 "Over the years, many artists and designers have contributed to the articulation of the various universes of Lucasfilm. Taking their cues from the minimal words of description on a script page, these talented men and women have sketched, drawn and/or modeled creatures of magnificent breadth, unimaginable terror, and mind-boggling eccentricity. Some of these creatures have made it into film, while others, because of the way stories unravel, have not (so far). But this does not mean they do not exist. For once something is created, no matter what the context, it takes on a life of its own." ―Foreword written by George Lucas in Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas For someone who "Hated" the EU, George Lucas praised the authors and artists quite frequently, incorporated many of the EU works into the films, and was even directly involved with some of them, even guided the EU from behind the scenes, and heavily involved when he was not directly involved. The EU was just as much George Lucas' "Baby" as the films. The Disney content, however, he hates, even calling Disney "White Slavers" after the showing of TFA.

This is just awesome! My favourite Star Wars books are stepping out of the pages. The printed letters are getting shape of the entire worlds. It is dream coming to truth... THIS is what the mouse should do.

[@DarthAngelus]

It kinda feels that way when I'm making these too :D

[@GlomusIridescens]

You did an EXCELLENT job reconstructing Tantiss and the temple

[@Sandbek1973]

This is so incredibly good! This is the real SW and not the bantha drool that Disney aka Disaster is spewing out. I only have one request and that is that please don't give up on this project of yours until it's complete...I beg you!

[@AwakeAtTheWheel]

Can not wait for the next chapter! You are amazing!

[@DarthAngelus]

Soon :)

[@legotimefuntime5438]

I’m looking forward to seeing this.

[@damienvalentine9263]

I'm looking forward to you being able to see this :)

[@TheCaniblcat]

Brilliant. I read the Zahn novels when they were first published. This takes me back. And the voices are impeccable. Well done!

[@DarthAngelus]

Thankyou! Making these is bringing back a lot of memories too :)

[@ramokerat123]

Awesome, really love this series!

[@damienvalentine9263]

Thankyou! :D

I love it! *wipes away tears

[@DarthAngelus]

I'm glad! :D

[@sparrowlt]

nice touch having Chimaera with the Rebels paint scheme

[@DarthAngelus]

I want the Chimaera to be able to stand out in the big fleet battles :)

[@khahinmetameta7826]

Good heavens man make more these the Thrawn trilogy and dark empire are classics

[@DarthAngelus]

If you like Dark Empire, I can point you toward this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onKndIJjdtdqbLc

[@jerryschuller5542]

Very nice!

[@DarthAngelus]

Thankyou :D

[@Kufstein7]

That was an incredible production! The animation was far superior to the Dark Horse version. Lucasfilm owes you big time! Zahn trilogy...the real Ep 7,8 and 9👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@memorodsan]

Still amused by the soundtrack. Love it

[@Ollision]

If anyone is interested, the whole trilogy was made into an official German audio drama with all the original Geman voice actors back in 2012. Also that's where Thrawn's voice originates from, Rebels adapted it very closely years later. Just search for "Erben des Imperiums".

[@mcsmedia8081]

That's really cool, never knew that piece of Star Wars history/trivia :D

[@rps1276]

The German Audiobook is still my favorite thing to hear on long drives

[@Twisthiphop]

Great as always!! Love your content, can't wait for the next episode

[@DarthAngelus]

Thankyou! I can't wait to release the next episode :)

[@AwakeAtTheWheel]

You’ve done an amazing job!!! I was a fan of the novels and this is pretty much word for word. So much better than the Disney sequels! This is what Star War should be! P.S. the prequels suck! Long live the original extended universe!

[@LunatickRythm]

thank you
