LeeC:
Tarkin's bastard?

Lupercal:
Seems like Tarkin froze sperm all over the galaxy...

They could easily make Cumberbatch a Thrawn-esque character. They'll draw on EU Imperial big-wigs and combine it all into one ultimate antithesis.

RedWolf4:
Y'know, having read some of the pre-Manikin Skywalker EU books, Cumberbatch as Thrawn is an Excellent call.

Lupercal:
Hmm. I took a look over theforce.net forums today and there seems to be some interesting information over there - mainly that EU cannon might be salvaged if the events of Episode VII take place in a realistic time frame (ie, follow real time), which would mean that Episode VII takes place at 45 ABY, a rather sparse time for the EU. Now, given the tight reign Lucas had on what time line was available for SW-EU authors, it suggests either authors couldn't be bothered to wander in to an unestablished time frame, or that 45 ABY was being kept for something else. Namely, the next generation of Skywalkers.

Also, Troy Denning's EU novel "The Crucible", published in July this year, is another interesting point.


--- Quote ---Denning says he's doing a novel about a year after Apocalypse ends. It stars the Big Three, and starts in a cantina, "and yes, Han shoots first." It'll be set in a new part of the galaxy, that's new to readers. Lando is involved, no grandkids."
--- End quote ---

Cover art gives a fairly realist glimpse of the three in costume:



So, this seems to set a precedent for a film if they are choosing not to trample and retcon most of the EU stuff. Hell, even the first EU novel, "Splinter in the Mind's Eye", is non-canonical due to the fact it was actually written as a template for a low-budget sequel if Star Wars had bombed. Lots of inaccuracies. Anyway, the speculation continues. We're not hearing anything new, and I don't think any casting decisions, asides from the "big three", will be coming this side of Christmas.
