Stock letter
Dear Disney/Lucasfilm,
Hello, my name is [your name], and I am a huge Star Wars fan – not just a fan of the movies, but a fan of the Expanded Universe, too. [Describe how you first found Star Wars and were introduced to the EU.]
However, I was deeply saddened by the April 2014 announcement that the Expanded Universe would be discontinued and de-canonized. [Mention how the EU strengthened your love of Star Wars, how much the stories and characters meant to you.] I want to see the stories of [your favorite characters] continued.
In 2013, the Guinness Book of World Records reported that Star Wars had the most successful book series based on a film series ever: over 100 million sales and more than 80 New York Times bestsellers. Some estimates suggest that the EU was responsible for as much as 40% of Star Wars’ total profits, and yet the new Disney canon is not doing anywhere near as well. Almost certainly, if these “Legends” stories were allowed to continue, the Star Wars books would once again be profitable.
So please, Disney/Lucasfilm, I humbly ask that you please do everything in your power to continue the Expanded Universe (now titled “Legends”), with new stories and adventures in the same continuity that we had from 1976 until 2014.
This really is what the fans want. New movies are okay, but what we really want are the characters we’ve had and loved for so many years.
Thank you for your time and May the Force Be With You,
Sincerely,
[Your name]
