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

i'm still patiently waiting for it to mature. the lazy wow-in-sw's-clothing aspect i can forgive if the PTB plug some hours into fixing years-old textual errors, loosening up on railroady mission sequences, padding out the more glaringly oversimplified choices, and completely replacing Jaesa's atrocious VA. (or until i hit the private server jackpot.)
but i certainly don't care how wookieepedia styles itself or "ranks" lore from different sources as long as they aren't outright removing or significantly altering the OldRepub stuff they've managed to pile up.

Except you get *garbage* (as gentle a term as I can come up with right now) like the Star Wars Holiday Special. Thank the maker that that (and Life Day along with it) are no longer canon. Garbage is garbage, no matter who makes it and it has no business being in the Star Wars universe. It's about time someone cleaned house.

No, I think what I am saying is pretty clear....fans enjoyed the fact that what they liked in the EU was considered pseudo-canon, and now they are unhappy it is not.

That was my point. It doesn't make them dislike the source material, it makes them sad the source material is not longer considered pseudo-canon.

On a side note in general, if I am not mistaken Lucas did not make this decision.....Disney did.

Its always been said that Lucas didnt consider the EU canon anyway.

But the EU wasn't full of garbage. There was a shedload of amazing stuff that was GOOD for Star Wars. The Star Wars Holiday Special was an abomination and boring as hell, but rather than taking the time to declare stuff like that non-canon, they just said "Screw it, it's too hard! Let's just declare the whole EU non-canon, and make ONLY the movies and tv series canon. I don't care if you loved the EU, we don't care about what you feel because SCREW YOU, GIVE ME MONEY!"

*cough*

Skippy the force-using droid who saved the universe

Well that is beyond stupid. But it takes more than a horrible holiday special and a ridiculous story about a droid saving the galaxy to say the EU was full of garbage.

Trust me, for every good EU story there was at least on garbage one.
Don't forget that you are essentially cherry-picking from the EU when you pick books and comics to read and games to play.

EU encompasses every star wars thing ever made... that includes this, this, this and this for example.

Not to mention that the stories and books YOU like might be garbage to someone else (and vice versa).

Regardless, I'll throw wave after wave of my own men against it.

Okay, you and I both know Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing is the greatest SW story ever. Better than the Phantom Menace, anyhow.
