ForceCast #248: Who Doesn't Need More Killiks?

On this week's show, we discuss a potential approach to the Expanded Universe that's straight out of the Marvel Comics playbook. Plus, more spinoff rumors, a new Dark Horse miniseries, the future of LucasArts, and a whole lot more.

Show Notes:

  • Note: The LucasArts closure news broke the day after we recorded this show. We'll analyze that announcement in our next episode.

Discussion

• Erik and Eric discuss an article by Brian over at Tosche Station titled "Star Wars, Marvel, and the Multiverse." Marvel and DC have both rebooted their universes, and Marvel's had an "Ultimates" alternate universe for some time. What if Star Wars went in this direction with the EU?
