You have to remember, though.
It doesn't wipe out what has already been created though. The novels and comics are still there. You can still play the games. Until something in the EU is directly contradicted, there's no reason to assume that the thousands of years that have gone by are spontaneously wiped out just because some asshat in a suit declares it so. I'm sorry if I can't help but feel betrayed as a fan and like all of those years and dollars spent are basically being called a waste by those in charge now.

Just the setting of the movie and Chewbacca's actor signing on does negate a good portion of it though...

That's how I feel right now. The desire to focus Episode 7 on the original three stars instead of letting new actors take the reign (only to apparently switch to them in 8 and 9?) made it clear they're just desperate to guarantee butts in seats despite being so far out already. Even though as a Star Wars film, it was sure to do that from the beginning.

EU is fun, but the movie-makers should never be beholden to them, because it has become quite a severe mess especially the post ROTJ ones (at least in my opinion). Better to start fresh. I too have spent years and dollars, but it's not wasted. We enjoyed those stories, so it doesn't change anything.

Well I'm glad there's people here at least willing to hear anyone else out... Fuck the thread at TFW for everyone insinuating my emotions are wrong and I'm stupid for feeling that way.
I'd been holding out for just the tiniest thread of hope, so it's still a blow. I'm in the middle of reading Aaron Allston's last book and it's also the last one I own that I haven't read yet... Despite all these years there's still more I haven't gotten to. Now I have to ask myself whether it's worth it to...

Maybe treat it like an alternate timeline? In Star Trek the universe was split at Captain Kirk's birth. This allowed fans to keep their old timeline (with Captains Picard, Sisko and Janeway) while the movies were free to explore the new timeline. To this day, stories continue to be published in the old timeline and are still enjoyed by many. For example, the MMO Star Trek Online is set in the old timeline.
At the end of the day, everything is Star Wars, just need to apply a bit of creativity into how you handle the canons. No one's experience need be negated, it just means the canons won't cross each other.

Those bastards!! All joking aside, when they said that The Clone Wars was cannon, that left me with one question: Is the 2003-2005 Clone Wars series cannon as well? Star Wars: The Clone Wars seems to fit perfectly within Star Wars: Clone Wars. Last edited by thunderstrike541; 04-25-2014 at 10:44 PM.. |
