Ok, the old EU is not fan fiction. It was officially produced by Lucas Film. Though I can see the confusion as some of it was as bad as fan fiction.
There is a very good and valid explanation why there are two timelines now. The old EU sucked more donkey dick than a Tijuana whore, though some of it was good, so it didn't suck as much donkey dick and Kevin J Anderson.
The EU started out with a bag with the Zahn trilogy and had it kept that level of quality, the tragedy over the EU going away would be felt by more people than just you Star. So much of it was garbage it is hard to be sad it went away. People are just happy Star Wars will continue and not be the dumpster fire it has been for the past 15 years.
I will agree it is for the kids we never had star. They are doing cartoons, young adult books, comics, amusement park rides and .... wait hold on now, all that shit you love, so what you talking about Star? I'm not into those things so I won't enjoy them or even try to, but you Star, are the one among all of us that can really get into those things..... Such a waste. Yes, you are still in love with Mara and Jana, but that Rey is hottie, in a young enough to be my daughter kinda of way..... god how did I become so old and creepy. :mep:
Yeah Star, that old ride is over, it happens all the time, but you still draw breath so it is best to get on the next ride and enjoy that until it ends or you end, and yes you will end and to do so bitter and hateful is just a sad way to die.
