Money isn't a good excuse in this case because the existing EU isn't a barrier to them making money. It's not standing in their way of making new stories, so the idea that they somehow need to scrap it to be able to do what they're going to do is a false one.Oh, and please allow me to congratulate you on setting a respectful tone in your posting that, as a moderator, sets an example for everyone else on EN World. Keep the community classy, Umbran. (end sarcasm)They have all the space they need; regardless of when the old material was written, it's easily incorporated and written around in a manner that can satisfy both the existing material and make new stories. Anyone who thinks that's impossible is suffering a critical failure of imagination. Likewise, I'm not sure what you think that George Lucas and the old "levels of canon" have to do with anything, since Disney made it clear prior to this that those old levels weren't being used anymore, without necessarily discarding any pre-existing material.Guess what - people don't like it when you scrap large parts of their mythology. That's not an organic "retold and changed over time," that's saying that things that were part of those stories yesterday aren't today. Saying that fans should just expect large swaths of the material to be invalidated willy-nilly is a critical failure to respect the core of your existing audience.</blockquote>
