So I've been thinking for quite some time on this matter and am curious as to other's opinions on this as well. When Episode VII: The Force Awakens came out, I initially went in not knowing it had no relation to the extended universe to which I grew up with. When I saw Ben Solo I began to get infuriated, I wondered what happened to Han and Leia's three kids, and where Mara Jade was, and Ben Skywalker. I thought, okay maybe that was a mistake on their part but then it kept going. I left the film quite upset obviously, but now with Episode VIII: The Last Jedi comes closer to release I came to an interesting revelation.
Considering Episode VII takes place several years after Episode VI, I began to think, the extended universe could still be canon rather than having Disney completely erase it from my childhood. I imagine Ben Solo as a fourth kid of Han and Leia and of course the extended universe taking place between episodes VI and VII. Disney could easily adopt this and not ruin so many people's childhood (like myself), however I have doubts they'd even consider this. I'm certain it would fix a lot of issues people have with the franchise as it is, by simply having the extended universe take place before Episode VII along with the events that led up to episode VII, it would totally work (at least in my mind). It would also be a way to open up possible movies or shows with the extended universe that I'm sure would make many happy. I, for one, want a movie around Mara Jade, but for now I can only dream.
So yeah, that's been going through my mind lately, what do you all think? Do you think this would work? Do you think it's a terrible idea? Let me know in the comments but please be friendly about it, if you don't agree with me that's fine but don't get all nasty about it either.
