Honestly, I can't recall that being said in the book.
However, I did find a quote from JJ.
https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Why-...ams-98837.html
"It was a great question, and one that we talked about quite a bit, even with Carrie [Fisher]…Why did she not take advantage of this natural Force strength that this character had. And one of the answers was that it was simply a choice that she made, that her decision to run the Rebellion, and ultimately this Resistance, and consider herself a General, as opposed to a Jedi. It was simply a choice that she took."
He doesn't talk about being a Senator, merely leading the Rebellion and Resistance. Was this what you were thinking of?
Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power.
Through power I gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken. The Force shall set me free.

Blood Elves were based on a STRONG request from a poll of Asian players where many remarked on the Horde side that they and their girlfriends wanted a non-creepy femme race to play (Source)
Lucasfilms literally said they were tiers. I get you are just here to defend Disney but try not to make it so obvious.

Seriously stop coming armed to a gunfight with a soggy carrot it just looks bad to continually talk about things which you know nothing about.

The sad thing is this place makes those two look like monkey's flinging feeces at each other while we argue in a congressional chamber. That's not an endorsement of this garbageheap it's a condemnation of those two flaming tire fires.
You mean one employee had a personal classification system that mostly just identified the source of various material, and which by your own source was not consistently applied and was essentially straight-up ignored by Lucas himself. In the words of Chee himself, per your own link, "there is one overall continuity".
Also, my position has fuck-all to do with Disney. That you think it does says a hell of a lot more about your hostility to the new films than it says about anything I've put forward here. Nothing I've said has anything to do with Disney, and I really don't see what the ownership of the IP has to do with anything. I also like Tarantino flicks; should I hate those "because Disney" too?
All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
So with Disney stating nothing from the comics, novels, and video games are canon, does that mean anything they use from those sources would be plagiarism?
The pre-2014ish stuff isn't canon. Post-creation of Legends, everything henceforce created is canon, along with the first 6 movies and Clone wars. And yes they will (and have) draw from Legends stuff.
In my opinion, they're already running into a big canon issue because of the Comic Booker series, which is an undisciplined mess, that would be perfectly fine as a non-canon comic book but is too "comic booky" to be on the same canon as, say, the Mandalorian or Rebels or Rogue One. It's the same problem with the video games, like Fallen Jedi and Battlefront 1 / 2, and the mobile games, which are all "canon".
In my view, they should change it again so the only thing Canon are:
The 9 Skywalker saga movies
Rogue One
Solo
The Clone Wars animated series and movie
The Rebels Animated Series
Resistance Animated series
the Mandalorian
A very select number of books (Tarkin, Thrawn... books like that)
Games, comic books and, most books, and tie-in merchandise should never be "canon" at all. If it isn't made for screen or carefully controled by the Lucas Film Creative Comittee, it doesn't count.
Because really the Star Wars comic book just had planet-sized Rock Monsters.
There are some cases of plagiarism in the case of the new Star Wars comics, where comic artists outright copied fan designs of starships, and one embarassing case of not plagiarism, where a comic artist used pictures of fan-made miniatures to help him or her with her outlines, but forgot to remove the stands that are used to prop the models up, and so we ended up with A-Wings that had what looked like a beer can stuck to the bottom.
Generally speaking though, no. When you oficially publish (as in, you're being paid for to do so) within someone elses copyrighted material, in this case George Lucas's Star Wars, you sign a contract forfitting the rights to any original characters and storylines you create within said universe. It is then included into said copyright. "Star Wars and all associated characters, places etc."
Disney bought all of that from Lucas, and they can do with it whatever they want.
Didnt Disney just announce another trilogy to be started in 2022, or something to that effect? Could have sworn i saw it.
Even if they didnt i am confident they will keep making more movies eventually, though hopefully not a trilogy, unless Disney finds a director truly dedicated to making the star wars trilogy he always wanted.
Generally though, i think Disney should stick ot making one-off movies. Rogue One was pretty damn good, and while Solo had flwas none of them were major enough to make me regret seeing the movie or never want to see it again. And what both those movies had were directors who felt like they had a single vision, and while they stuck to certain conventions they were willing to bend the tone and look of Star Wars to achieve it.
The world revamp dream will never die!
Yeah, I'm fine with them doing more trilogies as long as they create new things.
Rogue One stands together with Empire in my book, and Solo was really enjoyable as well. And then we have The Mandalorian, which has been absolutely great.
They just need to let the Skywalker saga rest and I'm sure it will turn out fine.
What is worth fighting for?

Well.. looking at IX I don't see how that is an issue anymore. The power levels keep doing tripple backflips over sharks with planet destroying lasers. Conjuring a fleet of micro-deathstar ships out of nowhere (including crew) and good ol' Palpie electrocuting an enemy fleet with laser precision is also on the same level as Force Unleashed's Starkiller, so I personally don't see any reason to exclude stuff now - except for gross breaches of continuity.
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
