[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 8083929, member: 14159"] Why would I bother to keep them separate? That implies I care anything about the new Disney stuff or pay attention to it in any way. I don't care. I actively avoid the new Disney stuff. If I've been playing, running, and learning the Star Wars setting for ~25 years, why would I change anything just because Disney says they want to reboot Star Wars to make some sequel movies? I've got ~200 novels, ~900 comic books, ~100 RPG sourcebooks, 3 TV series, 2 TV movies (not counting the Holiday Special), ~50 other reference books, dozens of video games, and 2 MMORPG's (one of which is still ongoing). . .enough setting material for a dozen lifetimes, without worrying about what Disney is going to change next. I don't care if the TIE Defender or Thrawn or Z-95's were included in their reboot or not, it doesn't change them being in the pre-Disney Star Wars, the one LFL now calls "Legends". It's not like retroactively Thrawn ceases to exist from 1991 to 2014 just because they made him a villain for their kids cartoon. That's what you're missing, that there is a community of SWRPG fans, but they aren't at ENWorld, which has traditionally been a place mostly for D&D and d20 system, games instead of all RPG's. There are plenty of gaming groups and gaming culture for Star Wars that is chugging along happily and not letting Disney's reboot announcement of April 25, 2014 affect anything, or incorporating anything from their new movies.
