Okay you make a fair point I never thought about, it does seem like we are slowly being separated from the major Star Wars community, but I think thats due to the fans that are like FUCK YOU DISNEY EA FOR RUINING STAR WARS and just being childish about it and not actually taking a normal, calm response about it.
I also think Legends material still makes plenty of money otherwise they would never bring legends characters back from it.
And you're right about the issue with 7 and so on, I'm just saying EU isn't perfect though its treated like it.

I agree with this. Fans on both sides of the issue take a very childish view of the other side, which makes things worse (huh, sounds like any divisive topic lol). And yeah the EU is in no way, shape, or form NEAR perfect. There are so many things in it that are severely flawed. However, when it comes to rebooting a franchise with a lot of problems without completely destroying everything I'd say Doctor Who is proof that it could have been done.

Yeah if you want to talk about childish views about a community, just look at the Dragon Ball community a lot of people over there are... something else. Don't get me wrong there are amazing people around that fandom but the loud minority is awful. I feel like if we had better views and more rational people, we could've seen legends be brought back in a good way. I have committed a sin and I have not watched Doctor Who so I can't comment on that.

we have to give disney some credit though. the new version of the death star did not look like this:

you and your pictures. we need a random pictures thread for this
do you know what really makes me mad? that the NR didn't make as many different SSDs as the empire. they would have won much faster had they done so. it's just not fair. but, if their were more NR SSDs, they would be absolute SUPER-CARRIERS.

but, i'm a member of the PA at heart, and my wish here is to join the ranks of grand admirals... sorry, the elite imperial alignment

Star Wars WAS messed up even before they got their hand on it.
It is just they are messing it up again and even more than EU did.
Which is frustrating, since they have the recipe in front of them and should only leave out the ingredients with the red circle around them

I'm not an optimist by any means, however I still have hope that the story will work itself out.

You sound like a optimistic Imperial Pilot going "I got him I got h-" and then is shot down by a A-Wing.

Dave sounds like Wedge when we said blowing up the death star is impossible.

Now here is how I sound. I sound like the smuggler who is super useful yet you want to blow his fucking faceoff.

Invalid since you are already used that reference once haha, and I mean we still don't know where the full story goes yet so maybe it has a big pay off

Anyone else want the Yuuzhan Vong? I mean I do, they were so unique with their biological ships and their hatred of technology, and their mass genocide tendencies as well as their backstory of the force pushing them out. And the vast scale of their world ships and their culture brought a breath of fresh air to the star wars lore

Nope I extremely dislike the Vong, it was just a terrible plot device to keep the story of Star Wars going.

BURN THE HERETIC :P

If Dif Scaur is to be believed, they will be entering the Ascendancy universe at some point in time, so that's excellent news.

That was actually going to be my serious question to you: if you had actually read the NJO series.

Not really, expect from some things on wookiepedia along time ago. Must of my Vong experience comes from either being bored as a child and looking it up or comics. I might have to look into when I have the time
