Should TCW be allowed under the default rule?

Started by Galan0075 pages

So far it looks like we have 11 FOR keeping TCW, and 5 AGAINST keeping it.

I'll leave this open for a little longer to see if anyone else wants to weigh in.

Great looks like we get to keep all sorts of well structured momento. Such as Anakin being nearly strong enough to support the weight of two people:

Galen, perhaps the time for democracy is over. As it's failures are being waved like a red flag here. Make the executive decision yourself. I trust you'll do the right thing.

LMFAO

The default would be exclusively Legends, if not otherwise specified in the OP.

So if a thread involved Thrawn, for example, the default would be his showings from the original Thrawn Trilogy. Not Rebels.

Meh.

Legends needs to die tbh. Personally think this is a move in the wrong direction. But majority goes I guess.

We are just establishing a DEFAULT setting here.

If the thread starter wants canon-only versions of the characters to be used, or even a composite mixture of Legends and canon feats for whatever reason, they are free to specify such in the OP.

But again: if no specifics are given in the OP, then Legends-only(plus or minus TCW) will simply be the assumed versions being used.

Hey im not a fan of a lot of the new Disney Canon stuff myself. But point is it is canon.

But what is Legends? A bunch of material that was never truly canon, as when Lucas was in charge he pretty much ignored it when continuing to produce more official material.

It has been used as inspirational material for creators of canon, which is great. But beyond that, it really has no meaning.

I mean as seen On this thread We cant even agree on what constitutes as Legends. Further we cant agree on what rules that continuity follows. Does the G-Canon, T-Canon, C-Canon tier system still apply to Legends? Many will argue it does not.

I don't think anyone on this forum agrees with you on that tbh. Not least of which is because canon is a million times more limited/boring in what you can debate.

Canon is trash compared to Legends, both story wise and power scaling/debating wise and needs to die tbh.

😂

In terms of quality, Legends >> Canon. Legends has it's ugly sides, but it also has some inspirational work, great comics, great games, great stories, great characters and some of the best fictional universe novels. Canon has just been bad across the board, excluding a few exceptions.

The EU has a rich and incredible history to it, whereas Canon is just milking the cash-cows known as Luke, Vader and Kylo...

Which is why I suggested we keep it composite.

Legends on its own just simply isnt Canon.

I think the main issue here is the whole KOTOR related material only exists in Legends. Once Canon delves into that era Legends will be completely moot.

I just dont get the point in discussing Legends only. Was fine for the days when that was the only EU. And even then it was always composite discussions with Lucas canon.

If we don't include TCW, that limits Thor's SW knowledge to one or two Vader comic series' 😂

The entirety of Canon has been a horrific cringe-fest, without a single piece of moderately compelling/entertaining material.

Lol.

Well given its not canon, does it even count as legit Star Wars knowledge? hmm

Actually the comics have been pretty good.

No, they really haven't. I know this the one thing everyone points to as the shining light after Disney's takeover, but I just don't see it.

Again I have more than a few complaints about Disneys handling of Star Wars. But Legends on its own... is just... pointless discussion. IMO of course.

And lets not pretend like everything the old EU put out was simply gold Lol

"The EU wasn't literally 100% perfect, therefore it's just about as bad as Canon." There's already more terrible stuff in the new Canon than there ever was in the EU. A lot of the previous mistakes that were made could be ignored or rationalised away, but now everything must be accepted.

Canon-only debating is also easier, and far less fun.
