  1. The armorings I moved to new gear has no set bonuses (or rather, they show up as part of a set but with no bonus for the set) The empty shells I kept around has new armorings/mods/enhancements (seemingly with the set bonuses)
  2. Damn good job on the world. It's incredibly pretty. (also, I want that giant statue of *spoiler* for my stronghold!)
  3. Still seems decidedly thin on core-game content. No new FP's or ops? Not even a new daily area/reputation grind?
  4. One of the most interesting cases: There's apparently a series where the up-to-now released books are now "Legends" but the upcoming book in the same (set during the movie timeframe, IIRC) are now going to be canon... It's the DCNU all over again *sigh*
  5. These are some very good sugggestions, especially the shield/hull damage separation.
  6. No, a continuity change. What Lucas says doesen't matter, what Lucasarts and the books and the games *publish* matters. They published a set of books that were (admittedly loosely) in continuity with each other (and with various games, etc.) now they've declared they're no longer going to follow that continuity. They might keep bits of it, they might recreate some of it, but the things they had, and published, are now dead, fossilized: They're not going to continue. There's a new continuity in town. Now, whether or not they're right to do that, whether or not it'll be any good... Well, that's still undecided (the old continuity sure as hell wasn't particularly good a lot of the time) but it's a new game now. Don't pretend that it isn't, because the most important bit of slapping "Legends" on the books is the fact that *no more stuff in Legends will be produced*.
  7. You're not getitng it. You're correct in that the status of the old EU could have changed at any moment. It (by and large) didn't, however. Now it has. It's like saying that "The sky could fall at any moment." and comparing that with the fact that the sky just fell down and crushed everyone. (not that this is a disaster or anything like it, but you're getting my point on potential vs. actual, right?)
  8. Again, as I mentioned, that's not really true. For starters, any storyline started post-ROTJ is gone now. It's not going to be continued. (they might turn out to make something similar, but the actual story that was, (and no matter how bad it was, some people obviously liked it) is now ended.
  9. That is precisely what they are doing. EDIT: I can totally see their reasons for doing so, but it doesen't change the fact that they're rebooting several decades of continuity. (in fact, that's almost certainly why they're doing it) The entire "We're going to keep what we like" is PRECISELY what the DC peoople said, btw.
  10. No, if they'd shown a desire to avoid that kind of handling of the issue, they wouldn't be doing what they're doing right now, because what they're doing is precisely what you're claiming they wouldn't do. (or rather, it's what DC did with their own universal reboot)
  11. While this is good and all, these two things would only be equivalent if both of these things continue to be produced. If (as it seems from info we've been getting) the "Legends" banner only applies to already published products and will not include any new ones set in "The Old Continuity" that means that these two things aren't equivalent: The people who want to know what happened to Jaina Solo or whatever (I haven't read much post-ROTJ stuff so I have no idea what important stuff has been going on) aren't going to get that: Sure, they can write their own fanfic, but that story is dead. In that sense the canonicity mattes less. While these kinds of universal reboots can work, they can also uh... Not work very well. Just look at the response to the New DCU.
  12. No, legends is the same level as N-canon. (IE: While tangentially "Star Wars" it is no longer related to the "Star Wars Universe Ongoing Saga " so to speak. And it does matter significantly, because while it did not bind Lucas (who honestly, is only responsible for a small part of the ongoing Star Wars stuff being produced) it *did* bind the other producers.
  13. Actually, C-canon was official, sort of: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Canon They had an official guy at Lucasarts whose job it was to categorize on what level of canon stuff was in.
  14. Except that this isn't true. The Abrams movies are still a part of Old!Trek Canon, it's just an alternate timeline (and explicitly so) just like say... The Mirror Universe is. This is *not* the case (at least not as far as we've heard) with the "Legends" imprint.
  15. This is econd.hand but...: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/lucasfilm-confirms-all-future-star-wars-content-to-be-canon-including-the-games/1100-6419225/ Depending on what that means, and what they mean when they say "Expanded Universe" this can be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to me that means SWTOR is now non-canon.
