I though EU was out completely?

cheers

James

EU has ALWAYS been out.  It's never been "canon" (at least not in the way that counted - George Canon - aka "G-canon" - which was limited to 6 movies, TCW and rebels).  Not that it can't become canon, but if it wasn't in TCW/Rebels or the 6 other movies, it isn't considered "movie canon".  There is stuff that WAS EU that is NOW canon, though ... so there's hope for that "legends" stuff, yet.  :D

The planet isn't a death star (moon sized weapon) so much as a weapons system built INTO a planet.  No pesky thermal exhaust port to worry about, or central reactor.

The shot of the girl crying/angry over a body, one question, is that Luke laying there? not the best screen cap. Could this be the Ben Kenobi moment

In the opening scene I thought that was a teenage mutant ninja turtle  :D

There's a very persistent rumor that's Chewbacca  :'(.

Been thinking about it for a while and it may well be that Luke is already dead and only appears as a spirit to whatever the Jedi is in the new films.

So far the only shots of Luke that I've seen where in front of a blue screen....

I hope I'm not right and that we'll see him in full master Jedi mode, open a can of whoop@$$ on the first order... lol

There's an even more persistent rumour it is Han Solo who is killed off. Its all over the internet today.... :o

Why not even great old heroes die one day!
I always like Chewies death in the Vong war, noble and fitting scarifies!
Only how Han reacted afterwards drove me nuts!

I wouldn't trust any rumour about character death or identity - remember in the original trilogy they filmed fake scenes and dialogue just to keep rumours secret. If anyone's going to pull that again, it'd be a Star Wars director.

The rumpled cloth is a clue in that photo. She has clearly mixed her dark wash and whites wash and her work shirt has come out a dirty grey colour. It's how I react.
