Disney Star Wars Canon issues.

You’re preaching to the choir as far as I’m concerned

Disney couldn’t even keep their own work consistent. Early on after the release of episode 7 when many of us were still willing to give their trilogy the benefit of the doubt they released a book that included three stories offering a look into the background of Finn, Poe and Mary Sue Palpatine that was supposed to be canon. Poe was shown to be a Republic fighter pilot who was recruited into the Resistance, not the smuggler he was revealed to be in episode 9 when Disney were desperately trying to make him the new Han Solo.

Never read those. I gave up trying to read the rat canon after the chucky Wendigo books shit on everything known about the franchise.

Only real EU fans comprehend this.

The rest I guess dont read.

The main issue with Disney’s Star Wars Canon is that they de-canonized the original canon to install this new one.

As bad as the first book was 2 & 3 were worse. They were nothing but pandering to alphabet bullshit and changing existing characters to fit the SJW Wars film.

You do realize the exact thing is true for the entire run of the EU? Don’t you? Lucas basically approved all of it before it went to each author, even demanded changes along the way so it fit his vision of the universe, just like he approved story lines in the TCW before they were sent to the writers’ room. The EU had Lucas’ prints all over it. The universe of the EU had countless elements of Lucas’ vision through out its make up, so to call it fanficion, especially when written by immensely talented authors is highly inaccurate.

As executive producer Lucas was heavily involved for most of TCW, but Filoni was the driving force. So when EU folks, like myself, pick a bone with it, we pick it with Filoni. I believe there is on the record evidence that Lucas wanted  Ashoka to die along with the rest of the Jedi, but Filoni used every bit of power he had to keep his favorite plaything alive and kicking despite the wishes of Lucas. If we are defining everything by what Lucas wanted as part adhering to his vision of the Star Wars universe, then that has to be scratched out.

But guess what, it isn’t, because it happened whether lots of us gave a shit or not. Having watched TCW  s01-s06 (I’m sorry, I’m not wasting my time with s07), I’ve admitted it isn’t all garbage, but it’s not this monumental work of art diehard TCW fans want to make it out to be. Stack it up against the entirety of the EU, going back to the Old Republic material as well, and I’m sorry, but that titular cartoon terror is insignificant to next to the power of the For…wait…sorry lost myself there for a moment.

Bottom line, I wouldn’t rely on the old argument that it has to be Lucas to be real, because Lucas was involved with everything until Disney started firing everything out of its ass.
