I know they have already included some expanded universe content, but does anyone know what FFG has actually licensed for this game?  Will we someday see a Darth Maul or Anakin Skywalker card?  I saw a video on cardgamedb.com once that claimed they only licensed the original trilogy, but that doesn't seem to make sense with things like Twi'lek Loyalist or Anzati Elite.

It is a legal agreement so none of us will ever know for sure but what we have been told is original trilogy and EU stuff from that timeline. 

I don't see how Twi'lek loyalist and Anzati don't fit within that. 

Where were we "told" that?

i referenced those two cards because off the top of my head they are characters not in the original trilogy 

Twi'lek loyalist is just a guy still loyal to the ideals of the Jedi and Old Republic. I am sure one was in the galaxy somewhere. 

Anzati are extremely long lived and there is one in the cantina scene in A New Hope. 

It was great news to know that only original trilogy and expanded universe of this trilogy will be present in this game. 

Please no Darth Maul or Anakin in my deck.

Where (if anywhere) is this written?  If FFG has put in writing a promise that none of the Episode 1-3 stuff will ever enter the game then I am much more likely to buy a copy.  One reason I've held off is knowing that one day a Jar Jar card would appear and that that day I would have to burn all my cards.  :)

I haven't read the EU books, but it doesn't seem too difficult to imagine that Anakin might be mentioned in one of them.  He's not a character specific to the Episode 1-3 movies, he's just a younger version of a character that already exists.  Including him is no different than including a version of Luke as a child for instance.  It's not even very many years away from the New Hope time.

I have no desire to see any prequel cards made.

Now some of the novels and comics, I would be a fan of seeing

Do not misunderstood me. I'm not talking about Anakin as EU may mention, I'm talking about episode 1-3 Anakin. Anyway this game is all about characters and situations during episodes 4-6.

Resuming, I don't want anything related with those episodes 1-3.

Please.

P.S: Please, please, please.

Why would you have to burn all your cards? Seems to me that if you wanted no Jar Jar in the game, you would only have to burn any objective set that features him.

I would like to see prequel cards. Regardless of my feelings about them as films, an expanded card universe would be awesome. For instance, although the movie featuring Darth Maul might have been less than amazing, a Darth Maul card would be great. 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Separate Clone Wars game for prequel stuff.

That kind of leaves people like myself out in the cold, though: those of us who like the Old Republic era, 1000+ years prior to the films; or the Legacy era, several decades after them. You can't honestly think they're going to have a separate game for every era…can you?

I can live with the assumption that stuff like Mandalore the Ultimate, Nomi Sunrider, etc. will never appear in an FFG game (especially given the apparent fixture of their RPG properties in the Classic Era). But if they are ever to show up at all, I would much prefer that they appear in a (possibly stand-alone) expansion to this game, not in some other game where I have to learn a whole new set of rules just to play them. There also needs to be room for those of us who actually want cross-continuity stuff happening: Revan vs. Vader, etc.  If, however, FFG had to make an edict for appeasing purists that would make cards from this set illegal for sanctioned play, I think I could deal with that as well. Because while I love the Expanded Universe in all of its forms and content, I understand that a lot of this stuff is very troubling for some of the fandom. ;)

So wait, people are already going nuts over the Emperor being able to Force Lightning Home One and Yoda being able to take down the Devastator, but we're okay with possibly having Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader Jango Fett and Boba Fett on the table at the same time?

I have a different question.  Anyone have an idea of how long FFG has the Star Wars license for this game?  I read a comment somewhere recently that said Dark Horse will be losing their license to create Star Wars comic books within about a year when Disney takes over.  I was concerned that this game won't have legs past the Dark Mouse Lord taking over.

Consider that the people who are going nuts over the Emperor being able to Force Lightning Home One and Yoda being able to take down the Devastator, and the people who are okay with possibly having Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader, Jango Fett, and Boba Fett on the table at the same time, may be two separate groups of people. I think it's also fair to assume that rules will treat Anakin Skywalker as Darth Vader for the purposes of uniqueness. FFG may even pull an AGoT  here and introduce characters with "throwaway" effects; i.e. Jango Fett dies and you search your deck for Boba Fett, or something.
