| Topic | Which of these Star Wars characters is the worst? |
| ParanoidObsessive 07/17/18 6:51:51 PM #91: | Unbridled9 posted... Disney didn't need to 'salvage' anything. The franchise was well loved already. The franchise was, yes (hate for the prequels aside). The EU, no. A tiny fraction of the overall fanbase read and cared about the EU novels, while the majority didn't give a single shit that they existed at all. And plenty of people disliked them for multiple reasons, including the fact that most of them barely manage to transcend the level of genre trash. The Zahn books actually come close to being worthwhile additions to the Star Wars mythos. Most of the other books...don't. But there's too much pure BAD in the EU that Disney would have had to work around, which wasn't feasible. And if that means they have to sacrifice 1 good thing for every 10 bad things they throw out, it's a sacrifice that was both necessary and worthwhile. Unbridled9 posted... The Vong would have worked perfectly for the movies as a villain as well. The Vong are one of the worst parts of the EU bar none, and kind of sum up all of the worst parts of the EU as a concept. If you think people are shitting on the Disney movies now, they'd be shitting on them far worse if they'd just aped the EU as a whole for a few movies and then brought the Vong in. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
