Considering that Disney said none of the EU content other than the cartoons they did before the buyout was canon the moment they bought LucasFilm, I would have to agree. Though I wouldn't say it was lost. Shit was straight up thrown in the garbage.

Midichlorian guy sez what?

I mean, it’s Midichlorian guy, but also Star Wars guy in the first place lol

Common mistake. Star Wars guy was him and his wife at the time.

Star Wars guy died on the way back to his home planet.

“I’m a stubborn guy and I didn’t want people to tell me how to make my movies,” is how Star Wars creator George Lucas summed up the ~~secret to his success~~ reason the Prequel Trilogy is problematic

Fixed that for you George. You're welcome.

I think the prequels were fine. Not as bad as people made out, but still not a good as the original. The sequels were just bad and I think they'll stay bad.

If Lucas did the sequels I don't think they would've been good, but I would have preferred to see whatever they would have been than what Disney made.

Holy shit he's absolutely right.... They should have been 'Munchendizing' from day one!!! Thanks papa G!

Grow up George. Those are Disney's movies, not yours.

( George Lucas said, "Grow up. These are my movies, not yours” when commenting on fans restoring the original movies instead of Lucas' version where Greedo shot first and Jabba was poorly CGI'd.)

What if I told you I like all of Star Wars?

@Reach @downpunxx

Then I would name you a liar, Ser Reach!

Just kidding. You can like it all if you want. I love that modern Star Wars is basically a big buffet where you can take what you want and leave what you don't want. If you want to gobble down everything on the buffet table, have at it.

Honestly it is great that Star Wars has such variety! I never used to like it all, but finding head canon and leniency has helped a lot to enjoy the more disagreeable parts (think episode 9).

But yes you’d be right, since I will never like the holiday special, nor allow myself to see more than a YouTube video about it 👀

@Reach Lol, I sat through the whole thing a year ago, because I was haunted by it from my childhood. It is truly awful.

Oh my gosh. You have my condolences! 😆
