[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 6766653, member: 14159"] Actually, they two are increasingly diverging. They have completely eliminated the entire Old Republic era and everything to do with it, by explicitly stating that the Republic did not exist before 1000 years before the movies. Within the original canon that Disney now calls "Legends", there was the Ruusan Reformations at the end of the New Sith Wars at the Seventh Battle of Ruusan, at that time, but to Disney, before that was a dark age that ended with the defeat of Darth Bane and lead to the founding of the Republic. . .so KOTOR, KOTOR II, SW:TOR (and all the novels and comics tied to those games), the Dawn of the Jedi series, the Tales of the Jedi series, a total of around 35,000 years of documented history are irreconcilable. The New Republic/New Jedi Order/Legacy eras are also irreconcilable too. You can't reconcile the events of Aftermath and the new movie with the original canons series of events. Not the least of which is that Luke Skywalker re-founded the Jedi Order in 11 ABY in the original canon, while in the Disney canon Luke didn't refound the Jedi and became an isolated hermit, or that Chewbacca died at the First Battle of Sernpidal in 25 ABY. . .while in the Disney canon Chewie is alive to the period of their new movies, set more further than that after the Battle of Yavin . . .not to mention that in the new movie the galaxy is ruled by the "First Order", a copy of the Empire, with the "resistance", the Rebels by another name basically re-fighting the battles of the first trilogy. . .vastly and irreconcilably different than what was happening around that time in the original canon. They are cherry picking a handful of ideas from the EU like inquisitors and interdictors, yes, but that doesn't mean they are converging. Rebels shows that they really don't care for the original Star Wars lore or storyline. Last week's episode completely re-wrote the origin story of the B-Wing Starfighter for example. In the original canon, the B-Wing was developed by the Verpine of the Roche Asteroid Field at Shantipole Station, working with Admiral Ackbar, around 1 year after the Battle of Yavin, a series of events detailed in the original d6 RPG adventure Strike Force: Shantipole (and also retold in the expansion pack B-Wing for the X-Wing computer game). In the Disney canon? It was invented by a lone inventor working with spare parts and scrap on a junkyard planet before the Battle of Yavin. Even the places where they use the same name, they radically change what it means. In the original canon, the New Republic was founded several months after Endor, and fought a long war with the remnants of the Empire and ruled the galaxy from Coruscant as it fostered a New Jedi Order and eventually reorganized into the Galactic Alliance during the Yuuzhan Vong War. . .in the Disney canon, the New Republic was founded immediately after Endor, won a swift and decisive victory over the Empire as they crumbled, ruled from Chandrilla, and almost completely demilitarized as soon as the Empire was gone. . .and was quickly and completely overrun, conquered and destroyed by the First Order when they brought the Empire back.
