One of my co-workers got angry at me one time because I said I never really liked the EU that much. He said something along the lines of the EU being better than all of the films, which had me dumbfounded.

I've never run across that type face to face but they're all over the Internet. One guy threw a truly atomic fit because he KNEW that the Knights Of The Old Republic game was infinitely better than all six films and then proceeded to scream banalities about it until he was ghost-banned on the forum.

Most of the EU is just glorified fan-fiction, if you take a step far enough back to see things deep enough. And seeing how people love their fair share of that stuff, it's no surprise they would defend it so fiercely when some higher - up decides to say nay to it.

As deep as I was into Star Wars lore, I can safely say that mandalorians are nothing but incredibly stupid fanfiction.

Seriously. One of the stupidest things there, even the force repelling space weasels don't have anything on them.

The Thrawn trilogy gets remembered for its awesome villain but the force-repellant space weasels and the evil clone "Luuke" Skywalker were crazy dumb. I have my fingers crossed that Thrawn gets worked back into canon somehow but the stories need fixed badly.

I remember when Karen Travis threw a hissy fit and quit because the Clone Wars overrode her Fandalorian Fett-ish.

Unless you were someone I knew to be blindingly autistic, I would assume you meant "European Union" if you out of the blue started talking about the "EU."

Yep. I was thinking of her specifically. Mandalorians are closer at home in Warhammer than in Star Wars.

I read the first Karen Travis book and rather enjoyed it. I tried to read the next one and couldn't ever get past page 20 because it was one of those scifi novels with a ton of "special nouns" to sound technical but having very little character.

(Is she some sort of weirdo fetishist? I remember her calling the characters "her boys" in an interview and all I could think of was a British chick I saw getting slammed in a porno threeway saying the same thing again and again.)

Yeah she has a massive hate-on for the Jedi (A-grade autism there) and sperged all over her website and social media about how the Jedi were keeping the clones in slavery and were worse than the sith and tried to relate it to all this real world stuff.

Liquid autism.

The conversation started with us talking about the new movie (which was about two weeks away from release at the time) and he mentioned being disappointed Admiral Tharwn wasn't going to be in it to which I asked if that was an Expanded Universe thing and he went on to say how can I be a Star Wars fan if I've never read any of the books. (While he is right, I've never cared to read any of the Star Wars books.) In hindsight, I should've expected that from someone who has a Mandalorian sticker on his car's rear window...

Mandalorians would get destroyed in the 40k universe tho.

They totes would, probably by the Smurfs since they're Author's Pets too.

As for the autistic Jedi hate, that's really only a product of Episode 2 and autistic fan theories based on the shittastic direction Lucas made. It's on par with Darth Jar-Jar.

And honestly, that guy screaming about how you're "Not a True and Honest Fan" is dumb as bricks; the books even before they became uncanon were always lower forms of canon than the movie; George Lucas himself said this. So him leaning on them so much hilariously makes him less a SW fan due to relying on more dubious shit to masterbate himself over with.

Didn't just say it, but had a whole autistic hierarchy of canonicity.

Entries in the Holocron are assigned a code based on their level of canonicity.[5] The highest level is "G-canon" or "GWL",[3] the content of which represents the words of Star Wars creator George Lucas and comprising the six films.[5][8] The "T-canon" level, standing for "television canon", represents the 2008 movie and TV series The Clone Wars. The "C-canon" level is the continuity canon that includes the expanded universe and is canonical unless superseded by G- or T-canon.[8] The two lowest levels are "S-canon," secondary canon related to older novels and texts (and the poorly received Star Wars Holiday Special), and "N-canon", which consists of details either not considered part of the Star Wars canon or removed from it (such as alternate endings to video games).[3][8]

From the Wikipedia article on this now irrelevant shit.

Basically the novels are slightly above dog shit and a dream I had one time as canon.

I don't think it was Lucas but the Lucas Licensing division of his company. All franchises have this issue: Star Trek, Dr Who, etc - it comes part and parcel with creating content for fans - it just happens that SW had it worse.

(However, I think the current idea by Disney is even worse: anything new made is canon, period. Which means some horrible fanboy who's a writer at Marvel Comics now has as much levity as any of the films. Like THAT is a good idea?)

Which means in the future, there may be yet another Star Wars expanded universe built up over time, which may in turn be purged from the new official Star Wars canon, causing another fit of outrage from some fans.

I'm glad someone else saw that too.

(It's also confusing that this new movie borrowed some basic elements from the canceled Expanded Universe...)

And still, they can't just go, 'yeah that was pretty stupid and convulted and confusing, glad it's gone.'

Nope they have to sperg about it.

Oh and speaking of wookiepedia, it's good to see the important articles are well maintained. I wonder if there'll be a canon/legends tab for this one

I'm pretty sure it was Leland Chee that came up with that. George generally considered the movies (and eventually The Clone Wars 3D series) canon, the rest was an alternate universe that he occasionally mined ideas from and gave input to.
