Ok that one does hurt. Filoni keeps wanting to add Kyle but just can't think of any situation that wouldn't just be pure fan service.

The only EU stuff I'd call proper "good" is (most of) the NJO, (all of) the Yuuzhan Vong War, and the Old Republic era. The rest of it was uh ... well there was some cringe, that's for sure.

I feel it started to get better when all the artists collaborated on longer story arcs together.

people always being like "they should've just adapted the thrawn trilogy into 7 8 and 9"

and it's like, my brother in christ, have you even read the trilogy?

like there's some great scenes and a lot of the secondary characters (thrawn, mara, talon, C'both) are cool but it definitely gets an out-sized amount of praise.

People get too worked up over canon. There are plenty of great Star Wars stories in EU/Legends, and they are still perfectly enjoyable.

I think it's hilarious that nerds spent years screeching about "just adapt EU stuff" and then whole Palpatine returns was literally right out of the EU's Dark Empire storyline. Which they did not once, but fucking twice, and the nerds cried about that also.

The interesting thing I've noticed over the years is the proliferation of "Wookieepedia Legends fans" into fandom discourse.

People who haven't actually read the material itself, but rather the summary of it. The "broad strokes".

You get a lot of that with the Revan wankery in the fandom nowadays.

Honestly the summaries are often even dumber because you don't get as much context ;p

Thrawn trilogy has some dumb concepts, but the writing was decent.

People give KJA shit for his books and they are incredibly dumb and over the top, but I always thought they were good fun.

The best Star Wars media was a CYOA book that inserted the reader into the cast, and had a fairly graphic and horrifying death scene if you "failed" the garbage compactor part.

I lost that book and my mom ended up owing the library a decent bit of cash since it was decades out of print. Think I was like six lmao

You can still obtain and read the majority of, if not all the EU books, right? The books on your shelf didn't vanish when Disney officially made those "non-canon", right?

In that case, you didn't lose anything.

Halloween is one of my favorite film franchises. Halloween 4 is one of the better sequels, even though it hasn't been canon in that series for almost 25 years. If you can still enjoy it, then it doesn't matter.

You should skim it tbh, I didn't have the patience to read it all but a skim was enough to understand why it's terrible.

nah his brother died in the middle of NJO by becoming "a Force conduit" or someshit but because he was fucked up from fighting previously he died
