    SW EU is vast

    It really isn’t. Legacy? Sure. But not current canon. He also could not have said it as I was primarily focusing on Trek. Moreover it was the Trek stuff they screwed up on

        Then nothing about it matters. The extended universe was dismissed en masse because majority of it is little better than fan fiction. George had no idea what he was doing so he let others who had no idea at it. Disney was then left with a contradictory mess of garbage and plots that made no sense so it was decanonized. If it isn’t canon then it isn’t part of the world. If it’s not part of the world then it has no part of this conversation.

        I was bored of this conversation already with the other one because it was disingenuous. This one is as bad and I’m over it. Goodbye.

          Thank you for your weird opinion, but a commercial company can only dismiss something in their own perception.

          Which doesn’t have any obligatory influence upon EU’s existence or SW fandom.

          Also most of the EU is very much not garbage, many parts on par with Heinlein and Asimov and Philip K. Dick.

          I suggest you educate yourself, it’s both embarrassing and impolite to insult books you hadn’t read.

          EDIT: Point being - of course it still matters.
