What?? EU Star Wars is much better than the movies. EU gives us more insight on cultures, species and characters, and more importantly . . . character points of views! George Lucas contradicted a few things in his movies.
Yep, I agree...Wholeheartedly...
But I also agree with the logic behind only sticking to that which has been in the films and starting again with a new story...
One of the main things I hated with a passion in the EU, is what they did to Han and Leia.
They get together, get married, have three kids...Brilliant!...
Then...
Because being happy is boring, they have a giant war that takes the husban's best friend, resulting in H&L's near-divorce; the youngest son is killed soon after a reconciliation with Han after the Solo Sr. blamed the Solo Jr. for leaving said friend to die (which he had to)...And then their remaining son goes all "True Force User" and therefore evil and has to be killed by their daughter...
And this is fun is it?...Which bit of that are they supposed to film?...It's supposed to be escapist fun fiction meant for kids...Not that hideousness which pretty much had me abandon the EU...Only my OCD kept me going back for a while...
Oh, and going back to how much George knew about the EU...Apparently he got involved in the books thing at one point, because Anakin Solo was on course for becoming the saviour of the Galaxy...Because
he was the one that figured out how to fight the Yuzzahn Vong...
And then, because he was making the prequel trilogy at the time, George the idiot decided that us mere mortals would get confused by having two heroes called Anakin in the two storylines...Y'know, one hell-bent on ruining the galaxy, and the other saving it sometime in the future...Easily confused...I mean you've got Anakin Solo and Anakin
Skywalker...I've got them mixed up in the middle there though, I admit...Bad sentence structure...Apologies...

...Lemme be, it's early and I'm angry again...Let it go Robert!! Let it go...No, don't start singing the song!!!...

...Anyways, George the Idiot had them kill off Anakin Solo...*Shrug*...
I mean I'm confused all the time between George Lucas and George Foreman...Isn't everyone?...*Sigh*...
This is not fun or escapism...It's just depressing...Idiot people...And they keep hiring Troy Denning!!...
WHYYYYY????...
EDIT!!!!!....I tried to make it one post but it took so long to type it made it two posts!!!...I wholeheartedly apologise mod people!!!...AAARGH!!!....It's a TRAP!!!!....
