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

Technically, it never was. Neither GL nor TCW writers were ever constrained to work within the bounds of EU lore.

"Farscape" kinda stuff would be nice How about , the mighty Darth Baras playing with some new sith technologies and then accidentally creates a wormhole to Earth. Then the Empire invade our planet. Putin , Obama and North Korea creating an alliance and they fighting against the sith. When the emperor is defeated , Putin kills Oba and NK leader and using the wormhole to come in SW galaxy and make Korriban and Dromund Kaas russian territory. The russians will drain the force and turn it into Vodka - the new most powerful thing , that will rule the world. There`s no Force , there`s just Vodka.

I know. I don't understand this thought that the EU was EVER movie canon. Even GL (the moron that he is) said that the movies (and licensed TV shows) are the only true canon. People being heartbroken that their favorite book isn't canon shouldn't be surprised.

It never was canon anyway.

slap in the face so on and so forth etc.

Ha. Force Vodka should be a thing...the bottles would look pretty cool at the least. And hey, if you make someone drink enough of it you are sure to be able to successfully use the Jedi Mind Trick lol.

The issue isn't that stuff is now "non-canon" it never was, this isn't new. However before Disney, Lucas only was only out to write his own story as he saw it, beyond that he didn't interfere with the fans. He let the fans build the rest of the universe around the original story that he had set out to create.

Disney however has apparently decided that merely overwriting what is needed for the movie isn't enough, and has decided that the only stories are going be their stories. Disney seems to want to make sure that their EU will be the only EU, or in other words Disney is being Disney and is being excessively overprotective of their image.

Yeah, look at how badly that turned out for Mickey Mouse!

Wait... are they threatening to sue over fan fiction?

Well, now that we know SWTOR isn't cannon. There goes by sub. I won't be renewing...or playing after today. Farewell all.

Does Mickey Mouse have a EU? Does any Disney copyright have a EU?
Lucas let fans and other writers create there own stories, Disney only wants fans reading Disney stories.

If it isn't from a Disney controlled studio Disney won't condone it.

Nobody has ever said SWTOR isn't part of Star Wars. Use some common sense please. The whole reason they made the change to the EU stuff not being canon is all for the direction of the new movies. The Old Republic era is WAY too far back to even have a remote outcome on anything even in Episode 1. Don't be so dramatic. Nothing changes here. That's the whole reason BioWare made these stories in this era. It is WAY too far back to effect the outcome on anything in the movies, TCW or, if they made them (which they are going to), the new movies.
