@@achaudhari101 maybe not dead, but i just don't want to accept new canon as one and only canon)

You could enjoy both.

@@achaudhari101 believe me i tried, and failed to do that, i really want to enjoy new canon, but i simply don't know how))))

@@Skywalker20239 Well that’s understandable because the main outline of the Disney canon is extremely mixed up. Plus just look at the toy sales for the sequel characters. It might as well be in the dumpster(actually I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of those toys were sent to the incinerator. Which is a waste). By looking at all the real world evidence you can tell that Disney Star Wars is slowly dying but the love for the original Star Wars is still alive. And the cherry on top was the galactic star cruiser which had little to no original Star Wars stuff(failed and shut down).

At least Jedi Prince was ignored once the EU went into full swing. While their version of Jedi Prince is the official canon we must adhere to as time passes.

And on top of that they outsell the High Republic stuff.

@@th33grimweaver yeah it’s really hard to find the legends comics these days in stores. I would’ve bought them but they’re kind of pricey.

Yeah, Disney gladly takes the money from them. While I understood the decision to “decanonize” the EU (even though it was was never truly considered canon), I never understood why they not allow stories to still be told in it. Let’s be honest, the people that consume books, comics, ect are usually big Star Wars fans, so most would know EU stories are not canon, so the claim it would confuse people does not make sense. They would make more money allowing it to continue but for some reason they seem to be denying that fact

Yep and yet Disney still have the utter cheek and ignorance, arrogance really to keep printing those books and not even may any of those original writers of those stories their due Royalties. I don't know about Disney in trouble with Florida over Reedy Creek stuff, Disney should be sued and taken to court by ALL these EU writers over not being paid their royalties, for something they created, and Disney are making money off of.

They screwed Dave Wolverton out of his royalties… and wrote an obituary piece celebrating the man on the day of his passing. Really shameless, if you ask me.

Kyle Katarn has basically been split into multiple different characters in Disney Star Wars. Finn got defecting former Stormtrooper Kyle. Cassian got rebel mercenary who stole the Death Star plans Kyle. Kanan Jarrus and Cal Kestis got "just a guy with a lightsaber" sorta morally edgier Jedi Kyle. Hell, even that guy in the new Star Wars Outlaws trailer has Kyle's looks. It's like the anti-Dragon Ball fusion. lol

@@gameragodzillaUgh please don’t remind me. Removing Kyle Katarn was a massive mistake in my opinion. Don’t misunderstand me I still think Cal is awesome character(Got a platinum trophy for both games) but Kyle is a little more cool. He’s like Han Solo with a light saber. It would’ve been really cool to see Kyle and Cal team up.

Everyone except Mara Jade. What the actual fuck do they have against her?? 😤

@@tookie1g The most badass female Jedi doesn’t get to exist because we get a Mary Sue to overwrite the character I’ve literally known and lived for 47 years. Sure seems like a half-baked strategy from idiots trying to pretend they know everything. At this point, if Ahsoka sucks, I’m going to start rooting for failure. It’s the only way SW is ever going to make it back.

@@rawnchydeard4669 honestly I'm more pissed they destroyed Winter, Jaina, Jacen, Anikan Solo, and Tahiri... For "Ben"(Making Leia and Han worse parents and removing an Alderanian badass female character) and then trying to giving Tahiri's backstory to Boba Fett and somehow emasculating him with the story of a 9ish year old girl Jedi badass... It's like if Hasbro had taken Barbies movie and just made her the main character of "Battleship" while also making her and every female character in the movie less badass.

I think that whichever timeline you prefer is a personal preference. I personally like Legends better but I don't think any less of any fans I do meet who prefer canon. Honestly, they're the lucky ones. I wish I could love TLJ and TROS, I just can't.

For me the EU died when Jacen killed Mara. He was my favorite new character and now I can’t even go back and read the Jedi academy books because knowing Jacen’s doom just sours everything.

Splinter of the minds eye isn’t canon

@@legoforbeginners6950 honestly I used to be cool with the sequels. I even had a crush on Rey(hey I think she’s pretty. Lol 😂). I didn’t like how they handled Luke Skywalker but I tried to be optimistic about it. However the more I analyzed the outline(and the fights) the more it really annoyed me. It was just too unorganized and confusing. I think that’s what happened to other Sequel fans over the years. That’s why you only see 1-5% approval for the sequel movies on these Star Wars polls(Community posts) in recent years

@@legoforbeginners6950 I would have to say my two breaking points was how they killed of the Skywalker bloodline and when Daisy Ridley admitted that there was no plan for her character (or villain) from the start. Everything was just up in the air. Star Wars theory was furious when he listened to Daisy Ridley’s interview about that and I completely understand.

So ironic that Disney is lecturing us with that line, and yet, they couldn’t even do that themselves.

It’s completely hilarious how they were addicted to that line in the movie and yet they’re using past stories to make new ones. “Gasp” 😱 Disney is lying?! I am shocked 😆

They’re so petty, envious and jealous

The past will never die, not only if we remember it.

I always felt like that scene, and the scene with Yoda destroying the old texts, was a deliberate stab at the fans of the EU.

Exactly my thoughts. There is no way to appreciate this new Disney fanfic when everything ends with the sequels.

Yeah, and that issue actually does affect even the good stuff. One criticism I do have of the Respawn Jedi games is the fact that the stories are largely inconsequential to the greater galaxy. Yeah, Darth Vader shows up a few times, but by and large if the stories never occurred, the galaxy would remain the same. But that's not Respawn's fault, because Disney canon is such a goddamn mess that they can't make a story too consequential without potentially stepping on someone else's toes, so they just have their own corner of the galaxy to play with and be really good without significant ties to anything else. Contrast that with The Force Unleashed, which is ultimately the story of the founding of the Rebel Alliance, even tying with other EU works such as the Purge Troopers being an early form of the Dark Trooper project or Garm Bel Ilbus from the Thrawn Trilogy showing up as one of the rebel leaders. They even managed to give Galen Marek retroactive legacy in films by having the Rebel symbol be his family crest. While a blatant retcon, it does mean he isn't a complete ghost in the later timeline unlike what Ahsoka often can feel like with the fact there's absolutely zero mention of her existence in either ROTS or the OT despite her massive importance. But that just shows how much better the old Star Wars timeline was planned. Again, it was never perfect and there are always a few retcons here and there, but Disney's canon is messier now than the Star Wars EU ever was prior to The Clone Wars (and even then, The Clone Wars is now moved over to Disney canon, so as far as I'm concerned, it's not a part of Legends anymore).

Yeah you’re spot on. That’s what makes Luke Skywalkers heroic entrance in the Mandalorian a bit sad. All roads lead to the Big Lebowski in the Last Jedi. Actually the entire sequel trilogy makes every effort of the rebellion(original trilogy) kind of pointless if you think about it. The point of George Lucas‘s sequel trilogy is to rebuild everything and make it better than before(we didn’t see that in the 2019 film).

As long as the "tree" in question is Not rotted at its core, you can just cut off the rotted parts, and treat it.

🎯

Would you like to get another completely unrelated fun fact!? Did you know, the train used in Indy 5, was borrowed from Paramount and tom cruise/wagner productions of his latest M.I.: Dead Reckoning movie. I guess *Lucasfilm* is good at borrowing other people's stuff.

Another completely unrelated fun fact. Pluto’s low mass causes it and it’s moon to spin around an axis that is not actually Pluto’s center of mass. This results in a path that is more like a dance between the two as they revolve around the sun

@@jonservo Beautiful

To *which* time are you referring? Ptolemy (the second, IIRC) began the process of having every ship in port searched for new works to be copied (Keeping the originals) and would continue that process until the library burned down the first time. Over the centuries, the damned 'hard drive' got wiped a few more times and started over. With my luck, they probably had all of the first-hand religious writings of the pagan Germanic tribes in one of those blazes, just so I can lament while reading altered Christian interpretations.

@@jonservo ooo! this was my fave of the three. 😎

Yeah. There were still bad times and bad events, but it never felt like the victories the Rebellion scored were ever truly stripped from them.

@@DrakeBarrow Exactly, they accomplished things and prospered in life. That mattered to a lot of fans.

Rebels is shit and Dave Filoni is a hack.

SWTOR is the big one for me. I started it waaaaaaay back in 2011, and finally finished the final two stories I had to do (smuggler and trooper) in 2020. Without a shred of doubt, I can say that the stories in SWTOR blow anything Disney has created out of the water. I'm really hoping that they don't let those stories die, and if the game ever goes offline we get a single player rendition of the game so that we can keep experiencing those stories.

@@Leonfei I completely agree, the stories in SWTOR are sensational. The expansions are very good and the variety of character options is crazy.

Exactly

They have no creativity, it's just stealing from the EU.

They let the past die, and we all know what happens when people forget the past... They repeat it

And something which is consistent and doesn´t contradict the other stuff in their canon...than they made the sequels and Mando S3.

@@Mouse_Metal What does Mando S3 contradict?

Yes, it's not dead, but Lucasfilm is trying to ENGINEER it so that it dies, that it fades from public consciousness. It's why they keep recycling Legends titles for their shit (Tales of the Jedi, folks?) without even mentioning it, in the hopes what they do will supplant it.

Use the real name, our name, the EU instead of Disney’s disrespectful name.

What’s funny is that my introduction to the expanded universe was the Jedi Knight video games. Outcast and Jedi academy. Then the Legacy comic books(which is close to the end of the Lucas arts timeline) got me even more hooked on the lore. I read every single one from start to finish and it’s fantastic. It got me to want to learn what happened in the past with Luke Skywalker. The legacy comic books even finished an old republic character’s story. Celeste Morne if I recall correctly. Really nice touch.

@@Skywalker20239 too bad. You're missing one of the best Star Wars EU novels there is; Thor Skywalker's opinion as well

"The new Disney SW fan" - very accurate, in that there is only one.

@@pianoman9421 you might as well drop the "SW"... I'll agree that they are Disney fans, and I'll agree they like to masquerade as Star Wars fans, but I think there's a distinction to be made between a Disney fan who likes the Star Wars content Disney is producing... and a Star Wars fan, who generally doesn't. Which isn't to say Star Wars fans all hate the Disney Star Wars stuff, some of them seem to like Andor for some reason. But when you start talking to someone, it becomes pretty clear which they are, and that they're not in fact fans of the same thing. Star Wars fans are fans of Star Wars, and some of them still naively hope for good new Disney SW, and they settle for subpar material here and there cuz they're so thirsty for it, but they'd still be fans of Star Wars whether Disney existed or not, whether Disney owned the franchise or not. The Disney fans are ONLY into Star Wars because it's one of Disney's acquisitions and weapons in the culture war, and THOSE people want to use it THAT way.

@@draconianemanations2785 Well said, actually. Well said

@@pianoman9421 They are not fans, they are shippers.

I remember when they said that in that movie. That's when I knew that Disney would never do star wars justice. I haven't watched the third movie in that trilogy because of it.

Absolutely, it's why they are sponging off classic EU titles, like Tales of the Jedi, New Jedi Order, Dawn of the Jedi, etc...

Exactly. They are a bunch of envious, malicious brats who are running around the beach kicking the sand castles other kids built because they can´t build anything that nice themselves. You know they are in their last days when they are trying to bury even fanfics which go against their 4g3nda.

Still have my paperback set of the X-Wing series. That's great Marc is narrating them for audiobook, he's one of the best!

I've been doing that ever since Attack of the Clones.

My head canon is personally the six Lucas movies, clone wars, fallen order and survivor, and Eu as the jedi and the republic did prosper after episode 6 in the EU, unlike in the sequels where it was burned down for resistance vs first order

You have to as much of the Disney SW contradicts itself and the original movies.

@@Jedishill680 Oh, wow, mine's pretty complicated. I include the first six films, the animated portion of the Holiday Special, Droids, Clone Wars (both of 'em), Rogue One, Andor, the first two seasons of Mandalorian, John Ostrander's Quinlan Vos and Clone Wars-era comics, Timothy Zahn's first trilogy, the Dark Empire trilogy, Shadows of the Empire, Force Unleashed, Republic Commando, Bounty Hunter, KOTOR, and a weird combo of Solo/Han Solo Trilogy/Han Solo Adventures... Heh.

Yep, I have my own headcanon. Pretty much the only Disney stuff in my headcanon is the pre-RotJ content. Everything else is EU.

Fewer companies these days prioritize a good story over petty politics and it's sad.

I feel this is what the Western world has become. Two extremist sides screaming at each other and having meltdowns the moment anyone suggests they aren’t 100% correct, and all the reasonable people stuck in the middle watching everything get destroyed by them.

Even if most of it is shit like the haters claim, people still like it. It's a market that's proven itself time and time again, but we're still deprived of new stories.

"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."

I couldn't have said it better!

I don’t.

Same bro

You are not a casual. Ive seen you in every comment section. That being said i agree with you lol

You can’t keep it canon because George Lucas himself never considered it canon to begin with, Although they did help influence and shape the actual canon during the development of the prequels.

​@jokester3076 you're joking

Yeah, this just feels like damage control from Lucasfilm.

That's why Disney hates it. I've always advocated for that sort of thinking. Let no one tell you what is canon. Just because it exists doesn't mean it has to be, even if you do enjoy it. Accept what you want, now what anyone else wants. Disney, Star Wars fans, heck even George. None of them can tell you what's your headcanon, because it's *your* headcanon. (I of course, respect George)

I could name many stories that we're worse off for now that they've been purged from the timeline. But we're somehow "better off" without the EU. Thanks for doing Lucasfilm's job for them, CBR! You're helping them to bury our stories!

Actually, there IS evil . . . apparently it was the Jedi all along. 😱

Guess Anakin slaughtering dozens of young children isn't considered evil. Or Darth Bane relishing in his enemies fear to strengthen his link to the dark side before slicing their heads off isn't evil either. These people are posers and are clueless, I swear.

​@@nicolicarpathia318If you're talking about the part where Bane killed the children and the father in the first book, then also understand that Gillanthy poisoned him at that time and he needed the fear to strengthen his connection to the Dark Side to keep him alive longer. Not saying that you're wrong for calling him evil, but there was a reason.

The most absurd line I’ve ever seen. The entire story of Star Wars is about light vs dark. And even though some Jedi are considered to be “grey Jedi”, it doesn’t mean characters like Ahsoka are saving people one day and committing genocide the next. Grey Jedi are still 95% in the light. It just means they don’t follow the ridiculous strict code of the old Jedi order(like avoiding marriage and other attachments for example)

@@nicolicarpathia318 Or the Atrocities Palpatine committed How Many People Died because of him? (this goes back to Pre-TPM all the way to ROTJ)

Yeah, no EU fan I know defends The Crystal Star or Jedi Prince. But there's far less issues than this so-called "expert" makes it seem like.

AGREED 👍🏿

Pretty sure that unless you count the Jedi Prince books (which I don't), Crystal Star was the worst book in the EU. I'm not going to say it's outright *better* than the sequel trilogy, but it has the advantage of being easily ignorable. That was the thing about the EU. Even when a book did turn out to be a stinker, it didn't have anywhere near the impact that at bad *movie* has, and thus you could just ignore it easily and focus all your attention on the good stuff.

@@RedXlV I have read Crystal Star but cannot remember it at all, which I guess is an indicator of its quality. But yes, I agree about being able to ignore one of many books. Cannot do that as easily with the movies, though the sequels are at least last in the chronology so you can just stop before you get there.

I tend to do the same thing, i cherrypick certain shows from Disney canon, which mainly are parts of the Mandalorian, Rogue One, Rebels, Andor and Tales of the Jedi and they are part of the canon in my head while ignoring every other movie and show for various reasons and not really bothering to read any of the new canon books and comics, while still going back and reading a lot of the old EU stories. Hopefully i can say the same about Ahsoka when that series comes out.

I don't even include most of Disney canon as my headcanon. Clone Wars, Rebels, and Bad Batch. I enjoyed the Mandalorian, Kenobi (What's enjoyable of it) and Solo. I can enjoy something and still not include it as canon. Especially if it's something like Kenobi that complicates the timeline. Better to think of it as a what if.

With the intent to help Lucasfilm discredit the EU and the EU community as "not real fans."

Will it lead to Pablo Hidalgo being atomised through the whole Yavin system? :D (as K.J. Anderson would put it, if you know what I mean ;) )

I dunno bout CBR, Disney need "CPR" right now cause they're on the verge of completely kicking the bucket. their two major IPs Marvel & Star Wars sinking, all their latest releases especially in the live-action remake and Pixar departments have been losing them money. they had loads of layoffs, record low numbers of visitors to their parks. they've had to shut down one of their newest park attractions at Galaxy's Edge - the Galactic Starcruiser. Now they're facing the Hollywood strikes currently going on with the WGA and Actors Guild together (which is rather unprecedented). Now Disney have lost in court regarding the Florida State, statute and they already lost Reedy Creek lol. 😂😂

@@RaikenXion Yeah, I literally won't buy any Star Wars shit that is not Legends. It's what they need to keep my business, and many others.

They also think that if we don't like it, that justifies how they attack us, and call us names and blame us for their failures. We're "toxic" and "bigoted" or something, and that MUST be why we don't like it. 😕

I never even bought 'em, and now look at their sales. They're tanking, lol. Disney wants my money as a Star Wars reader, I'll only accept new Legends!

There were bad individual stories that cropped up from time to time within the EU, and I didn't always love the overall direct it took, but never anything bad enough that it could ruin the entire thing. What Disney *should* to is reopen the EU/"Legends" to new content, and just have two separate versions of the Star Wars universe going. You know, exactly the same way the MCU never erased the Marvel Comics continuity (also Disney-owned properties). Of course, I know *why* Disney isn't doing that. They're afraid that Legends will be significantly more popular. And that the biggest name authors that do Star Wars novels will prefer to write Legends rather than "canon" books.

Yep, not all of the EU content is good, but the good stuff is REALLY good. There's enough EU content to last for decades.

They claim we're better off without it. We are NOT better off without the Dark Lord Trilogy, the Darth Bane Trilogy, the KOTOR games, the X-wing novels, Young Jedi Knights, Jedi Apprentice, and far, far more I could name.

​@@saberiandream316 So many good titles you named, for the EU's faults, there were so many amazing stories! The Darth Bane trilogy and the KOTOR games were so good. I still have my paperback set of the X-Wing series. All written by truly passionate Star Wars fans.

@@stevequincy388 Mm-hmm.

They actually are included as part of that same timeline as the '90s. Ann Crispin's Han Solo books, mention both of the Han/Lando early years trilogy events. Dark Forces novellas included Vuffi Raa. Lumiya of the Marvel stuff got included in the Legacy of the Force novels. The Wheel space station of Marvel comics actually appeared in the Republic Clone Wars era comics. I was amazed how well they interwove those old Marvel comics. (I even have some of the originals, plus some omnibuses. Still fun reads.)

That's hilarious as fuck because nothing Disney has done is new, it's all derivative of better stories.

Cbr has only two sides: those who agree and support everything and anyone who disagrees because they are racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, cisgender nazis

They're active insults to people who love this saga.

I'm glad they didn't, I don't want them butchering these great stories.

I make sure to buy them without the banner.

And then Lucasfilm claims it'd be too "confusing" to continue Legends. Shows you how dumb they think we are...

Yeah, they only cater to short-term trend chasers. That is NOT enough to sustain an IP long-term.

Absolutely read the original Thrawn trilogy - Heir to the Empire/Dark Force Rising/The Last Command. These are the books that relaunched interest in Star Wars and launched the EU canon timeline. Plus Zahn is hands down the best writer for Star Wars.

If your looking for some quick fun reads check out the “Tales” books. Tales from Jabbas Palace, Tales from Mos Eisly Cantina, and Tales of the Bounty Hunters. These are anthologies of stories based around the side characters in each location. The bounty hunter book (which features side stories about the bounty hunters Darth Vader hires in Empire Strikes Back) is quite good and kind of leads into the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy of books. Though I don’t think any of the books are canon anymore they are still fun reads to me

You should check out something that few people discuss that I always recommend. Young Jedi Knights and Jedi Apprentice. Nobody ever mentions those, and they're quality stories.

If you're interested in where the sith "Rule of two" came from in the Old Republic, the Darth Bane trilogy is amazing. It is a bit darker version of Star Wars though, definitely more like the Plagueis novel than a lot of the young-adult stuff. Lots of good stuff in the EU.

I hate when people refuse to explore the EU on the basis of its quantity. I've read many books and comics from the classic canon and I can tell you in all honesty that I've barely scratched the surface. It has had zero impact on my ability to enjoy the stories. I probably will never read every Star Wars story from the pre-Disney canon, and I'm fine with that. I'll keep finding material that interests me and revisit the ones that I love. It's a big universe. That's part of the fun of Star Wars.

He has an irrational hatred of Filoni and for example blames him for the EU continuity created thanks to the Clone Wars when in reality it was George and Filoni was keeping him in check. For example, everybody complained about the New Mandalorians breaking the lore. Those people ignored two things. First the New Mandalorians are established as not being all Mandalorians and the storyline was set earlier in the Clone Wars than some past EU works showed with The Essential Atlas even mentioned a coup at some point led to the leaders in charge seen in the Republic Commando series set at the tail end of the war. They also ignored the show making direct ties to past EU works in that storyline specifically having the more warrior like Mandalorians be Death Watch a splinter group introduced in Jango Fett: Open Seasons and their leader is in the same clan as their founder and leader from that comic. He also frequently brings up Malachor being a round planet planet in Rebels Season 2 because he doesn't the Malachor system had more than inhabited planet and only one of those was reduced to an asteroid field. For a supposed EU fan he forget this was established in Star Wars: The Old Republic where one of the other inhabited planets in the Malachor system (all of which are named Malachor followed by a number) was a plot point in the Jedi Consular's class story.

@@emberfist8347 Yeah, I can understand not liking Filoni, but making him a strawman to blame for everything bad is just plain dumb.
