CANON BOMB

A compilation of the many sources I’ve acquired that prove that EU was pre established canon before the Disney sale and it was treated with the same legitimacy as the movies.

The moment that changed my view of what was canon came as early as '99. I was 8 when I found out Chewbacca, a character I was very fond of, had died. I refused to believe it and when the maker himself, George Lucas said he wasn't happy with the decision, I didn't accept it. From then on, anything I read in comic books or novels did not sit at the same level of continuity as what was on the screen. So, when the Clone Wars changed the story of the Mandalorians I wasn't surprised and when the new movies were announced, I knew that Jacen, Jaina, Anakin, Ben and Mara would be no more.

@@jordanaftermath George is the one who approved chewbaccas death , he was involved in the NJO series.

[@LesMachinesNoires]

George was the first to come out of Star Wars, making it a family story, when it was really a journey through despair to enlightenment. George never understood Star Wars this because he didn't built it himself.

It should also be noted that, for how big the EU was, how many authors were involved, and how Lucas kinda made a hard right turn with his plans for the Prequels, the EU was remarkably consistent and had very few retcons and overrights. Meanwhile, within the first 5 years of Disney Star Wars, there was a *major* retcon. In the book Tarkin it is shown that *Tarkin* was the master of the Death Star Project. There was no Krennic. In Rogue One they showed that *Krennic* was the master of the entire project. In Catalyst (the tie in novel for Rogue One) they re-retconned it so that Tarkin owned the Death Star but Krennic owned the Laser. Then in Thrawn: Treason it is once again shown that Tarkin has no control over the project at all. 4 pretty major contradictions on the same topic, one right after the other. Insane, really.

@@wyatttyson7737 thanks for your detailed comment! I wasn’t aware of these. I do know that although they promised it would all be connected, immediately they had Rey meet Poe in the force awakens novel, but in the movies they didn’t meet until the end of the last Jedi. And they have the cheek to say eu was inconsistent.

[@YCY1821]

Actually hearing the authors say this is a cool sight to say the least.

[@Star-Wars-Skran]

Agreed! This stuff was created as part of the continuity by everyone involved, Filoni didn’t want to play with others.

[@DarthPawz]

Great video! GL signed off and even worked closely with the EU. But I guess it’s not canon 😂

[@Star-Wars-Skran]

@@DarthPawz well they’ve just been Canon Bombed with the truth 😂

[@nicolasacosta1673]

The number 1 defense for the EU having been canon is to consider the amount of effort and work that was put in to make sure everything made sense and connected directly with the movies. If the EU was never canon like the fake fans say there's no way in hell they would've put that much effort into it.

[@Star-Wars-Skran]

@@nicolasacosta1673 I agree, people claim that the authors did whatever they wanted, they have no idea how it worked, the continuity was pivotal to the whole operation. Thanks for taking the time to comment buddy !

No offense intended here, but I think y'all are too invested in this... At the end of the day it's a story told by a group of thousands of people over decades, of course there will be parts of it you like and parts of it you don't. Parts that are good and parts that aren't. Parts that stay the same and parts that change. I think that's really cool. That Star Wars isn't just being led by a singular person and handed down to the masses from him on high, that George Lucas isn't the final authority on what is considered a true Star War. It's almost like a mythology now. With poets each getting a crack at it, putting their own spin on things. On top of this, each person now has their own interpretations of what they consider part of the mythos. And I think it's not only normal, but cool to share your opinion on what you consider to be good and bad work or what you consider to be canon. But, creating and consuming countless of hours of content like this video, going over the same tired old stuff, is just silly and seems more maliciously destructive rather than constructive. I'm trying to be polite here, but what this video just kind of seems like is just a slightly more mature way to say, "They ruined my childhood" It's not like they're going around burning all the old books, they still exist you can go read them, and it's not like they're sending cease and desist letters to anyone who wants to write Star Wars fan fiction. The only difference now is they're way more careful with what they publish themselves. Which, to be honest, I'm fine with because I think part of the spotlight being on talented artists from within the community is just as important as the artists who make the 'official' stuff. If you want to return to the good old days of Star Wars, I am sorry but they aren't coming back, because unfortunately you are no longer a 10 year old watching these movies for the first time. I suggest going out and finding some good fan stuff if you aren't happy with what Disney is doing. Or, do what I did, find other things to engage with besides Star Wars.

[@Star-Wars-Skran]

@@bindipig1225 I appreciate you taking the time to comment. To be honest I don’t feel like my childhood has been ruined, George Lucas made my childhood. This video is more of a reaction to those who claim this stuff never counted and that it is in some way inferior to the new stuff which was promised to be cohesive but has failed miserably. I tapped out of Disney Star Wars and am enjoying the pre established lore. I recommend to everyone to do the same as it’s one massive authorised continuation of the story that was a huge success because of the well tended continuity. If you like the new stuff more power to you because I wish I felt the same. But the truth is that there are 30+ years of amazing content, I don’t need any more. I appreciate you stating your opinion without taking a crack at mine, it’s rare 👍
