[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 6293113, member: 14159"] [url]http://edit.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/lucasfilm-unveils-new-plans-star-698973[/url] Let me be honest, this pretty much means I have near-zero interest in the Disney Trilogy. To me, the Expanded Universe is as much Star Wars as the movies, maybe even moreso. When I think of Star Wars, my mind is as much drawn to the Expanded Universe as the films. I've spent over two decades getting to know and love a vast continuity stretching over ~30,000 years from the arrival of the Tho Yor arks on Tython to the death of Darth Krayt at the hands of Cade Skywalker. I've spent way, way too long in the incredible depth and breadth of the intricately-managed continuity of Star Wars, immersed in that virtual world to just walk away because the Army of the Mouse figured it was easier to go "frak it" and make new stuff. I know Disney (seems dishonest to call it Lucasfilm now that George Lucas isn't involved with it anymore, since Lucasfilm is just another Disney brand now) wants to milk Star Wars for every penny it can, but when I look at the shelves and shelves of novels and comics, the RPG books, the video games, everything. . .for them to just say that's not canon anymore is, to me, ripping Star Wars apart just as much as saying the movies aren't canonical. I was already skeptical about the new trilogy, but now I guess I can just save my time and effort and ignore the new stuff. Kinda sad that no new Star Wars will be published, at least nothing worth paying attention to. Y'know, I guess this is a lot like how the people who said that "Lucas ruined their childhood" with the Prequels felt. [/QUOTE]
