Literally all that has happened since the acquisition: G-canon & T-canon are now one cohesive Canon with all new releases being on completely the same level of relevance. Everything else I.E C-canon is Legends, yet hasn't been discarded.... merely has no relevance on the saga and TV shows, with retconning taking place by the aforementioned Canon. All they did was group stuff up and all Wookieepedia has tried to do is make sense of this for their internal policies. Much ado about nothing.

Let's stop pointlessly babbling about. Is Swtor. canon? Does anyone know? What about Kotor, TSL, Darkhorse Kotor, TotJ, and Swtor? Yes or no!!! (was TotJ Dark Horse?)

Having some pseudo-reputability to alternate characters and storylines in the SW universe gave some fans enjoyment, and that is no longer the case for those folks. I do think for most folks it is a non issue. But some folks are pretty passionate about their little corner in the SW world.

It's also very ironic and awkward that they do this when they have added so many influences and direct characters, organizations and factions from the Expanded Universe into the TV series The Clone Wars, which is still considered canon (the Death Watch and Darth Bane to name a few). George Lucas has most definitely contradicted himself and betrayed the values he has brought forth to the public by stealing many things from the Expanded Universe into the Clone Wars, and then declaring everything around it and the six films as non-canon. "People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians," my eye. Very well said. This proves Lucas is a selfish person and he has no care for anyone who liked anything that WASN'T his work. It's so selfish to say "That's not my work, so that's not canon." Seriously it wouldn't kill you to allow OTHERS to expand your universe! You're so selfish Lucas.

You're saying that Disney ret-conning the Thrawn story into non-canon made fans retroactively hate the story? Come on man. That's not even close to sane. If you're talking about their fan-fic, that was never canon anyway.

But by the same token just because they don't hate it doesn't mean they can't speak up about liking the old system better. Thrawn Trilogy by itself = good. Thrawn Trilogy still having direct impact on novels, comics, and games being published 25 years later = great.

I never considered anything Post ROTJ Canon other then the Thrawn Trilogy and a few games. The Yuuzhan Vong make me want to puke. Also the entire story line revolving around them. Whos dumb arse idea was that? Also, guys, the "LucasFilm Story Group" the new entity within LucasFilm regulating the new Canon, was mentioned in the credits for Galactic Starfighter. Not that it means anything. Maybe it was required on Biowares part or something.

Fixed that for ya... turned it into something a rational person might write.

We're talking about entertainment - who cares how "rational" someone's personal preferences are? As long as they're grounded enough as people that they're not sending death threats over this stuff, then whether they prefer a strict Canon system or a complete "whatever" attitude towards continuity (like in Simpsons or South Park) matters about as much as whether they prefer High Fantasy or Detective Noir stories. If they find some added value in a setup that has their favorite stories or characters continue on in future works, good for them. Not sure why you'd need to belittle them for it. And clearly it's not that unusual of a preference to care about continuity, otherwise why would the whole concept of Canon or Reboots even exist at all in fiction?
