Why Placing the Star Wars Expanded Universe in Legends Sucks by Arales Bloodmoon

Okay I have several problems with what Disney or Lucas or whomever is to blame for this idiocy and below I shall outline my general grievances.

Firstly now that we're only allowed to use what miniscule amount of information we have from the films I have no idea what anything is anymore here an example: that medical frigate at least that's what I think it's called and remember we can only use information from the films and they never say what it is even tho many sources have identified it as an EF76 Nebulon-B frigate but now we can't use this because it's Legends now!

Secondly The Force Unleashed mainly a video game series but also made it into other forms of media was considered canon alongside the main films and they in so many ways greatly 'expanded' on the canon in ways I thoroughly enjoyed like for example The Battle of Kamino was one of the many highlights that is now just a figment of Star Wars' imagination.

Lastly the incredible works of Ansel Hsiao and his many beautiful and detailed Star Destroyer designs most if not all are featured in The Essential Guide to Warfare by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart and were even given the stamp of approval and regarded as canon too!

Finally I hope the upcoming films and novels that are repaving the future of Star Wars add in at least some of the things and facts that we all spent hours learning whether online on Wookiepedia or in all those wonderful guides we all enjoy.

In closing I wish to thank you for reading my thoughts on the state of the "galaxy far far away" today.

  1. firstly....when watching the movies, do we REALLY need to know the name/type/class of medical frigate? it doesn't take away from the movie it also doesn't really ADD anything. the movie isnt better because we know that it is a EF76 Nebulon-B frigate.

    secondly...tfu was NEVER EVER EVER considered canon alongside the films. its just a game.

    finally...so what? i still look at the art, love the art, i dont need some "stamp of approval" from george lucas to enjoy some art.
