First off, the first battle with Sauron IS part of the lore. It's called The Silmarrillion. Secondly, Blokey's right, the prequels were written up along with the original trilogy. Thirdly, the Clone Wars did not occur hundreds of years before A New Hope. Unless you're gonna tell me that Obi-Wan is hundreds of years old in ANH. Did you forget that the movie specifically mentions him as General Kenobi?

Yeah, Anakin was a bitch. I will forever hate Hayden Christensen for what he did to this character. But Boba Fett as a clone? What's the matter with that? I've read every Star Wars book that even touches on Fett, before AND after Ep. 2 came out, and I'll tell ya that nothing conflicts. NOTHING. The idea that he went from scared clone child to changing his name in becoming a Journeyman Protector of a space colony, then becoming the best bounty hunter ever like his father after killing a man and ruining his altered persona isn't all that far-fetched, as far as Star Wars goes. Certainly more believable than whiny Anakin I-Hate-Everything-'Cause-I'm-An-Emo-Sparkle-Fairy Skywalker becoming the insanely badass Sith Lord Darth Vader. And whiny Luke I-Frenched-My-Sister Skywalker becoming the insanely badass Master of the New Jedi Order, too.


They had a chance to bring in Mandalorian awesomeness, and they went with "he izda clone lolZ :D"
