Star Wars Fans "OFFICIALLY" discredit Bioware's Star Wars: The Old Republic

Much ado about nothing.

Continuity is bad, we prefer disjointed information that lacks logic.

people occasionally give you a hard time around here but you're bang on there as far as I'm concerned.

Wookieepedia remains what it always was; a useful open wiki with loads of stuff about SW on it.

Need more clarity with your points. Are you saying Wookieepedia is owned by Disney? Wikipedia claims to be the owner of that website, and Wookieepedia claims to be fan controlled. Are you saying Wookieepedia can't legally dictate canon? And are you saying Wookieepedia doesn't have say or that it matters? And are you calling Wookieepedia a lore tyrant that needs to let it go?

Nobody here is even going to consider entering your bat crazy world of tin foil pal.

But you might find this helpful.

"The Fans" do not have a unified consensus, some individual fans are happy the EU is being made non-canon, others are upset, and others are indifferent. Claiming that the collective have a single view is nothing more than rhetoric to try to inflate your own view.

And even if the fans did, overall, dislike the Legends/Canon split... that split still happened. Wookieepedia would be remiss if they didn't acknowledge that it happened and reflect it in their articles, the same way they would have been remiss in not including articles on characters from the Holiday Special just because no one likes that. Some fans were outraged when Chewie died in Vector Prime, doesn't mean that Wookieepedia should have just ignored that it happened.

A wiki, including a fan-site wiki, is supposed to be a repository of information/facts (in this case "facts" about a fictional universe, but even so) - leaving out a bit of relevant information just because they don't like it doesn't make it a better fan site, it makes it a worse wiki. Omitting information would be going against everything that site is supposed to be.

I fail to understand why so many "the sky is falling" threads are being posted about this.

Lucas never counted anything except the 6 films (and maybe Clone Wars) as canon. He could, and did, change things at whim. Even things that had already been in his films for 20 years and so were definitely canon.

Disney is a new owner and have no history of looking after the continuity of a property like Star Wars. They hired J.J. "Lens Flare" Abrams. He's the king of crappy reboots with no plot, terrible acting, lots of explosions and over use of lens flare. Have you seen the abomination that is his Star Trek? Of course they are going to make a reboot. We'll be lucky if they don't **** all over the existing films let alone obscure books and computer games that no Disney executive has ever heard of.

At the end of the day nothing has really changed. You can continue to play Star Wars computer games and read the books safe in the knowledge that you never mattered a jot to Lucas and you still don't to Disney.

Who cares?
I consider The Old Republic canon and that's all that matters. Since it doesn't interfere with the movies and is still running.

I find entertainment in fans arguing about what's canon, what's not canon, what fan sites are doing, etc.

I find less entertainment in that then I find in enjoying the stories... but it's still entertainment.

Why do you all allow yourselves to get wrapped around the axle like that? The only people who ever need to care what is canon or isn't canon are the professional writers hired to produce more Star Wars story, and they are going to have the support of Disney to help them understand what is and is not canon.

wookiepedia is a fan-moderated resource.

if they wish to align with the actual owners of the content (Disney) then that is their right. they control the mission statement of the site, and if fans wish to contribute relevant content associated with that mission, then they are free to do so.

Try to add star wars articles to asoiaf wiki and see what happens...
