re: Star Wars: Episode VII': Release set for December 18, 2015

You basically have to do the Yuuzhan Vong, they are the coolest part of the Expanded Universe. After all it took Lucas the better part of 20 years to come up with the prequel story and it still sucked. After all they started Episode 1 in 1994 in earnest. The EU is much better storywise than anything Lucas can come up with. Especially since it will supposedly be written produced and filmed in two years. Much easier to adapt already existing and good material.
