Hey all, with the new trilogy coming to an end this year, what are your thoughts on new canon so far? How has Star Wars changed in the past few years? I know there is a split between fans, some like canon more than legends, vice versa, some may like both. Feel free to tell me why you personally like canon or legends better. If you ask me, I was heartbroken when I realized what was happening to legends. When I take a look at Wookipedia, there is literally an article for EVERYTHING in the SW universe, and that is what I love so much about Star Wars in general; the depth of it is truly amazing. I will not say that Legends was perfect, because it wasn't, but it was something special--no other franchise had the depth of Star Wars. The layers and layers of lore made you feel like the Star Wars universe was real because of how alive it felt, and when it was thrown out...decades of work gone? Terrible. You might ask, "Well it's still there isn't it?", and yes, it is, but it might as well be gone for good; no one will make more legends content (excluding SWTOR; mad respect!), and it doesn't even matter in the SW universe anymore because it's not cannon. Some may say that authors were simply given too much freedom in the EU, but I say that is exactly the reason why Legends succeeded! I believe that when creators aren't bound, they are able to forge their best works, and lots of good things came out of that, such as KOTOR, Revan, etc. In my opinion, I think that the current cannon is shallow. I feel like cannon is simply a generic sci-fi story with laser swords, and I honestly do hope that in the next decades that cannon really becomes more in-depth and all the characters can become more developed, because frankly, I don't like many of the new characters. Let me note that I'm not discriminatory against women; I just don't like poorly-written characters, as with some of the male characters in the new cannon. Alas, I refuse to forget the EU; it will remain part of what I consider to be "cannon" regardless of what the new jurisdiction is, and one thing I ask is that everyone not forget the EU, and let it rest in peace, and here's hopes that Star Wars can become, again, one of the most sophisticated lore-based sci-fi franchises in the world again.
