That I under appreciated not only the old Star Wars EU, but also Lucas Arts & whoever else put out Star Wars games back before the sale.
Because now everything has to be passed through story group to scuntinise the small details to make sure it all links together in Cannon, which to be honest sucks more than just allowing complete creative freedom I think, Ironic then that by attempting to force everything to be Cannon it has actually stifled the damn thing, sure it has it’s decent moments but really not everything has to make sense that now I have to wait for the comic or novel to fill me in on the missing piece of the puzzle, I feel the new EU should be complimentary and not mandatory to the main thing. Like if I don’t read all the books & see all the movies & Play all the games then I don’t know the story, at least with the MCU irks only the movies (at the moment, with a few other bits here & there)
We have lost out on a few interesting games in the sale to Disney for example that Darth Maul one and Battlefront 3 (where they were going to offer alt versions of all the characters, the good had bad alts and vice versa, e.g Evil Obi Wan Kenobi and Good Darth Vader) 1313 was another one, is it possible because their stories didn’t make sense to Cannon they got axed?
