rocknroll41 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 KotOR is no longer canon either. I think someone involved confirmed on Twitter that KotOR is now part of the "legends" timeline as well and not the "true" timeline. Probably cause Disney will eventually make their own Jedi order origin story in the form of spin-off films or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarBradley Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Funny KoToR related side note:I've noticed since I've started replaying the game this week, I've been mentally doing [Persuade], [Awareness], etc. while I'm having real life conversations and encounters. Tried asking a friend about some time he was drunk in Mexico, but I got an [influence: Failure] on that one. Maybe one day I'll find myself in a disaster zone near an injured person. "Don't worry, I got this." [Treat Injury: Failure]..... "sorry bro, gotta level up a bit, throw some skill points at Treat Injury." I dunno , I found this entertaining.

But, what about the origins of the Sith race and the first Jedi who fought them? Is that still canon? If they fuck with that, I'll be severely upset.

Facekicker Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Thank you for wasting 20 years of my time and money (since Heir to the Empire). I honestly may be done with Star Wars at this point. As of this moment, I'm not going to see this film. The only thing that could make me change my mind is if people come out of it talking like they didafter seeing The Dark Knight. They better make an amazing film to justify ruining Star Wars for me. They screwed up the prequels and I stuck with it. They made the Clone Wars all goofy, and I still gave overmy time and money. I didn't even complain when Lucas had me paying over and over again for different versions of the same exact films. I'm done. This is not only on Disney, Kathleen Kennedy and JJ Abrams, but it's on George Lucas, who allowed authors to play in the post-ROTJ time frame because he had no plans to do anything with it. He owed it to all the fans and authors who participated in the EU, which "expanded" his brand, and of course made him even richer than he already was, he owed it to them to protect that material. To protect the universe they were participating in. Material which is now worthless.There was no reason to do this. The actors are the age the characters are in the EU timeline. They could have easily just continued the story with a little creativity. Or had a Council of Nicea moment choosing what is canon and what isn't. But of course now there's a 35-40 year gap in the continuity they can fill marketing novels and video games and comic books to all us dupes all over again. And how many of you are going to fork over your money again like a chump? Not me. Screw Star Wars. It's been a cash grab since ROTJ anyways. Gary Kurtz was right.End rant. Nice to have known you all.From the Force.net 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have known you all.From the Force.net Very cool, but random, Council of Nicea reference. I gotta say I sort of agree with this guy, the general fanbase hasn't been treated too well over the years. There was a golden age of SW stuff from '98-'07ish, but other than that it's been pretty bland.I'm OK with everything post-ROTJ being non-canon, but not OK at all with the history of the SW universe being considered non-canon. It really does feel like a "fuck you" to the monumental amounts of efforts that went into SW video games, books, etc.. The new boss is looking a lot like the old boss with their lack of consideration for what the fans want. If only the Chinese had gotten the rights instead of Disney.

Dazey Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It'd be great if they pulled a trick like the Star Trek reboot that basically made it so episodes 1-3 never happened.
