yes, those books had an actual Stardestroyer(Starkiller?) as the weapon; it blew up stars.
Which books? The Thrawn Trilogy? There was nothing of the sort. Other EU books had various super weapons.
Luke went around kicking ass and teaching his niece and nephew.
This was not the Thawn trilogy either. They were newborn during this trilogy.
Look at JB being all in the know!
He's right too. The twins were either born just before or during the Thrawn Trilogy.
Leia was pregnant in the beginning of the first book when she was target for assassination.
Aww that's right, when the nirgi (sp) discovered her heritage (SPOILER - daughter of Vader)

What I was told at the time of the books releasing, is that they were the novelizations of GL's original story.
Whoever told you this was not correct.
Zahn has publicly stated at conventions that he was entirely responsible for the story and that he was only instructed that he was not allowed to use any character killed in the movies nor allowed to alter anything about the movies.

Correct. And I think there is an 'h' in their name someplace.

That said, I can also understand that considering the age of the current actors, it might not have been desirable to make an existing story at the correct timeline.
See, I don't care about the original actors. They should have told the Thrawn story with new actors and let the originals make cameos or something.

Yeah, that would have been great. As it is they went well into the uncanny valley for Rogue One. They don't really have the original actors in so many cases already that trying to use them is just silly and unpredictable.

I'd rather have a non Mark Hamil Luke Skywalker, etc. in a new story than what they did with Ep7.

Kill Switch
Looks like it came out in June? This is the first I've heard of it.
Looks a bit like a Micheal Bay movie.

Watching the Magic School Bus Rides Again with kid. It’s so different from the original version.

I saw it in on amazon might been a straight to DVD or streaming only.
