Batman, Superman, James Bond... Etc have all re-booted more times than I can count right now over the years and continue to be very successful. You can have the same characters ending in the same relationships. just the how/where wand what they did together changes.

I am kind of thinking this is where the EU needs to go. Re-boot and re-tell instead of end. Do we need to read their death? I can skip it.

I like jumping into the future like they did with the Legacy comics. Jump way past their end and let their end be unknown but if they want to continue I think they should re-boot before their end.

But George has been overwriting the EU anyway.

I am not saying re-boot the movies or anything George has done. I am saying re-boot the post ROTJ EU.

Now with more information so to speak from the period prior to ANH they would be able to tie everything together better and I think we could end up with a better version of those characters total lives than what we are running with now.

Well I think the biggest thing would be Luke's life. His journey to Jedi master, his jedi abilities, and his knowledge of the pervious orders mistakes and fallings.

It just makes no sense now that Luke had to operate in the blind for so long.

That's just the whole point. They could tell much better storys of the 25-40 year old Luke Skywalker now that they couldn't do then because they were so unclear about what a Jedi was.... what a Jedi could do. More knowledge of his father. More knowledge of Obiwan yoda's presence in his life.

More in tune with his power early on.

Let's face it. Luke was really badly handled in most of the early EU. They have greatly improved him in more recent EU but that's because writers now know what an ass kicking Jedi Knight was and looked like.

Leia's growth as a Jedi as well was very poorly handled and Both the skywalkers knowledge of their family history. Not just Anakin's but Padme's too. They are decendents of Naboo royalty yet the word naboo doesn't enter into their story until they are like 60?

I'd love to have great stories of swashbuckling Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker at 30ish saving the galaxy from evil, macking on Mara Jade, and basically outflying everyone and anyone in his Xwing.

I mean sure they can do that but as it stands right now they need to try and shoe horn it in between all the other books written in that time frame that show us a Luke who is not exactly the badest bad ass in the galaxy. I just think that'd be easier to do if they just started over.

But we don't have that. We have a nutered Luke who isn't very awesome until he's 60 years old. So he's awesome at 25 when he helps defeat the empire and Jabba the Hut, a whimp from 25-50 and then awesome again at 60.

I just think they can do better than that.
