Don't know how I feel about the clunky dialogue written by some nobody being considered canon now.
Clunky dialogue from George Lucas I could accept but not from some random.
I think if Disney ever wants to do anything that contradicts this stuff they'll have no problem doing that.

No.1099
>>1096>Can't say I'm happy about random hacks now writing Star Wars canon.This so much is my problem with the new EU as a whole. Honestly I was rather happy to hear that the EU would now be operating in a unified direction fully canon with the new film series, because the rather nebulous relationship between the film and EU canons in the past always bugged me and seemed below Star Wars as a property. But the new "unified' direction has yet to give us any actual quality materials, which is what's
really important when you're crafting a science fiction universe.
Needless to say, I have yet to give up on my headcanon (which is basically just the way things used to be), and probably never will at this rate. I'm sure I'll find a way to pretend that the old EU, or at least the parts of it I like, is consistent with the new films and just ignore every comic book, novel and video game released after 2013.
