Competition: DJB Star Wars Celebration Q&A

Finished
DJB Star Wars Celebration Q&A

Specifics

Star Wars Celebration will be hosted next year, April 16th - April 19th, in Anaheim, California. Several DJB members will be attending including Pravus, Valhavoc, and Raken. Celebration will feature many guests like Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Rebels, etc.) and Stephen Sansweet (Rancho Obi-wan, Star Wars.com, etc.) and we'd like to know what you want us to ask them, or anyone else we run into, when we attend.

We will take all the best questions we get with us and try to get them answered as best we can.

Platform

Either use the field provided on our site once you subscribe to write your question or upload a document containing the question. Either you prefer.

Details

Submit your best question to be asked at Celebration. Panel guests like Dave Filoni, Stephen Sansweet, etc., will be on hand as well as many others. Check here for updates on the guest list. We will try to ask everything we can, but just send in one question per participant.

Example Questions:

How do you see the new direction for Star Wars being accepted by fans who grew up with the "old" Star Wars?

What about Star Wars keeps you engaged as an adult?

Which was more in keeping with Han Solo's character: Han shooting first, or shooting second?

You get the idea. I'd be really curious to hear what you guys want to know.

With the popularity of the Expanded Universe amongst the majority of Star Wars fans, why did you disregard the entire EU and alienate the true diehard fans?

Everyone is excited about the links between this new era of Star Wars and the past (original trilogy casting being a big one), but how would you describe what sets our new trilogy apart from the Star Wars of old? What new things will represent this new era of films?

Question could be asked to anyone (Filoni, Abrams, a writer) and I'd like to think it's open enough to get some insightful thematic answers.

Mr. Sansweet, as someone who has made a career from being a fan of the Star Wars Universe, can you give an example of a fan that took their love/obsession too far?

*How much of the Expanded Universe literature will be retconned with the new content?

*Does new ownership of the Star Wars franchise dictate a shift in tone to be more family friendly in order to attract a wider audience? This did not go well when tried in example of Jar Jar Binks.

*How far into the future is current leadership planning on going and also, how far into the past to change current Expanded Universe content?

If so, are you a member?

Dave Filoni - Do you think you could work in something into an episode of SW: Rebels that hints at the DJB?

1. Is the live action show ever going to happen?

2. Is Marvel going to re-print any of the Dark Horse stuff, like the early 90's Rogue Squadron stuff?

3. How serious is the timeline for new films? Are they going to be forced out like the recent turds that were the transformers movies or will time be taken in creating quality films over quantity money grabs?

4. Any chance of seeing the Theatrical releases of the Original Trilogy end up on Blu-Ray at all?
