I remember someone on Twitter once saying that she was SW's "star Asian & LGBTQ icon" and that removing her would basically alienate the BBQ community, but honestly only ones interested in her seem to be fat balding middle aged Andrew Dobson-clones, a small part of the female demographic and the Twitter types who love "quirky Joss Whedon humor". And I don't know why the BBQ community would want to identify with a narcissistic, greedy, self-serving, anti-social and homicidal sociopath whose idea of fun is killing alien kittens while yelling "SNUGGLEBUM".
I would sort of respectfully disagree there since following media killed off his gf and had him give up the Dark Side after being told off and that using both was a dumb idea that would screw him over in the long run, unlike in Disney where Ahsoka is allowed to be a "gray force user" with zero questions that leads to her becoming She-Gandalf. And he had decent smaller roles in the novels like NJO.
I'm not surprised by the Ewoks stuff. First thing Disney shit did was recanonize almost everything about the Ewok stuff except the Towanis and the second film outside of outright declaring the films canon, and EAfront also had the Gorax cave from the first movie along with the Wisties.

Why Disney waited till now to do it is baffling. And all at the same time as they finally announce that they're going to make use of the rest of FOX's IPs like Alien and Predator...
Is it possible that FOX partly owned the rights to the other EU TV media? The only good thing about any of this is that this will mean HD copies of lost media which no one has been able to restore to the fullest, and that will be something worth YOHOHOing down the line.
If they do ever release the Holiday Special though (which Disney pretty much added to their nucanon shit with the exception of Mermeia, Krelman and Amorphians), it'll be nice to
pirate acquire the animated segment in HD. Still a shame they ruined Ackmena and Krelman's Beauty and the Beast vibes by making her go full lesbo and killing him off.
