Holy crap! ESB and ROTJ not "Canon"

Vader: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(Sorry, but no matter how much EU I Love, none compare to that Noo)

Canon doesn't make something Star Wars. What I'm saying is that something that has the words 'Star Wars' attached to it does NOT make it canon in terms of the films.

Understand that when I use the word 'canon' I mean in terms of the movies.

Only the movies are canon. That is to say that only what happens in the movies ACTUALLY happens.

Everything else is EU. Everything else is not canon in terms of the movies. There is a reason they call it EXPANDED universe.

George still wrote all the films even though he didn't direct them. The films are the only things truly canon.

BTW, have you noticed that the two that are considered the best weren't directed by GL. Hmm..........

Ooooohhhhhhh, I see now...really, no sarcasm this time. I thought you were like other idiots who thought if GL did it, it's SW. Meaning ESB and ROTJ isn't SW to them...My bad.

😕

YES!

Yes, the best is ESB, my favorite is ROTJ.

ROTS is my fav. ESB is the best. AOTC is the worst. ROTJ is awesome. TPM can suck it. and ANH is okay.

Really? Empire is my favourite followed by ANH. Jedi is nowhere near as good IMO...

I'm gonna try to not use the term 'canon' anymore becuase I think it confuses people - myself included.

Let me put it this way: The movies are the only 'real' Star Wars stories, the only 'George Lucas' Star Wars stories.

"Canon", in a lack of words, doesn't really matter. No one is going to stop in the middle of reading a book, or playing a game and say. "This isnt "canon." Noooooooo."
Thats what makes EU fans the best, we don't care. If it says it took place during the Clone Wars, it took place during the Clone Wars. If it says it happened 4,000 years before the rise of the Galactic Empire, it took place 4,000 years before the Galactic Empire. Besides what happens after ROTJ, would you have us to believe nothing, that it just stops there.

That's your own opinion. You're entitled to your opinion. We shall leave it at that and not bash eachother. As for me, I'm tired. Even the greatest of Duelests need their sleep.

Yes, it is your own opinon. Good night Tulak.

The difference is that I don't take EU seriously. I treat completely seperately. I don't care if it fits in with the films or not, or where or when it's set because I treat it seperately.

I love it. And hopefully there can be a day were it is no longer titled as EU, but as Star Wars as a whole. To me their are three categorys the OT, the prequels, and everthing else is Star Wars.

To be honest, I've never really gotten into any EU. I got a book about some bounty hunters for my birthday ages ago but never read it. The only EU I really get involved with are the games. The Dark Forces series is great, and KOTOR was brilliant.

Other than that, though, there has been nothing that appeals to me

Let me make on thing clear, its not as much I am an EU fan, as it is I'm a KotOR fan. I can tolerate some EU bashing, but if I person starts to put down KotOR the game, and soon to be comic book serious. I get a little offensive, anything KotOR.

BTW, for example, read the most annoying characters topic, down the page.

How can EU be a different Star Wars than the movies? That concept escapes me.

P.S

Hey can anyone see my signature because for some reason I can't. So to next person that replies to this please let me know.

Yes, I can. Star Wars is Star Wars. I believe it all to be in the Galaxy far, far away.....

You have way to much bias in your posts dude. EU all the way it is far more detailed and far more in dephth than the movies. And yes while the movies may look better than the games/books/comics everyone knows that.

I am NOT disagreeing with you... but I think that Kotor looks beter than the movies.
