Why does that not surprise me? Giving over the Star Wars story line may have been good money wise for Lucas, but the product after payment is pretty sad.

Hopefully the hype was worth the price of admission.

Actually Ben is the name of Luke's son and he in turn trained under Jacen solo. Ben and Luke actually where in exile together for not preventing the turning of Jacen solo to the dark side. Just mentioning as I would have thought this would have played into the forming of this movie or the next.

This sounds like Disney and J J Abrams messed up big time, if they couldn't even get small details likes this right how can we trust them to get anything right. Sighs, or perhaps they don't care as they did say they wouldn't be treating any the books as canon.

Yeah kind off like the game or thrones HBO series and the actual books by George Marten. Sometimes the movies do not go by the books and you just deal with the difference.

Well, expanded universe is scrapped. Even their official wikia has replaced the articles to the new cannon. Pity, there were some nice stories there. Cannot beat 15+ years of lore.

For any that want to know, the son of Han Solo who fell to the dark side in the Expanded Universe:

international QUOTE
"The son of Han and Leia Organa Solo, Jacen Solo was a leading Jedi Knight who proved crucial in defeating the Yuuzhan Vong and protecting the galaxy during the Yuuzhan Vong War. The grandson of Darth Vader, Darth Caedus was a Sith Lord who turned against his family and friends, betraying his former principles and leading the Galactic Alliance he once championed into a reign of terror as he attempted to bring order and stability to a fractured galaxy. It was Solo's desire to protect the galaxy and his increasing willingness to accept any cost in that cause that facilitated his fall to the Sith."
(For any that are curious and don't know, you can search Wookiepedia for more information)

They could have used that to make just as great a story as the one they decided to make, with this a story involving Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy and with Ben Skywalker. Sighs, what could have been,.

While the EU had a lot of fun stories (Shadow of the Empire), it had a lot of crap as well. By declaring it all non-canon, it frees filmmakers to tell the stories they want to tell without being beholden to hundreds of novels, and they can still mine the EU for fun ideas and powerful stories to weave into something new.

Best decision they could have made.
