[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 6627865, member: 7808"] Star Wars. I used to love Star Wars. I watched my VHS tapes of the movies countless times. I owned about a dozen of the WEG sourcebooks before I ever got a gaming group together, just to soak up the information that flushed out the expanded universe. I collected action figures and artwork. I read the novels and played the computer games. But somewhere along the line, everything just started falling apart. The novels took a huge downturn in quality (i.e. Kevin J. Anderson). The computer games came out at rapid speed and mediocre quality. The merchandizing become an omnipresent behemoth. It was impossible to ever collect a complete set of anything because no sets ever ended. And every re-release was different and retconned. I was already starting to burn out when Phantom Menace was released. I saw PM in the theater three times in the first week it was out. By the time RotS came out, I just managed to catch it the last weekend it was still on the big screen. I'm currently at a point where I have my own canon; I have decided what parts of the EU I consider "real" and what parts I reject. I have zero level of excitement for the new movies, and no expectations for them whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
