the only four good star wars things that have ever existed are the first three movies and Nintendo 64 Star Wars Pod Racer game

Bullshit, if the pod racing game was good then sebulba would have been able to afford flame throwers for both sides of his pod racer

I am pretty confused though - why are people angry about this? I mean I read the Heir to the Empire trilogy (and a few other SW books that were terrible) when I was like 13 and didn't really think about whether it was "official" or not, it was a cool story with some characters I knew and liked.

Like, there are a bunch of different King Arthur stories, that can't all be made consistent with one another, but who cares? Thomas Malory is good and so are Alfred Lord Tennyson and T.H. White.

You see, these kind of idiot nerds, they have nothing worthwhile in their lives. The human brain isn't good at just 'existing', so it seeks out reasons to exist, and so they select their interests. Since their whole reason for existing is tied up in their fiction, they assign all the worth they should assign to their job or significant other or kids. Since their fictional interests are the only thing of worth in their lives, that means they have to be Relevant and Meaningful and have Merit and Layers and just in general are Important. Ergo, if someone says they don't like them, or points out flaws in them, or declares that they no longer 'officially happen' in the main core universe (ie the most important one because it REALLY EXISTS, even though IT DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL), they take it as a personal attack on themselves. And since they have no idea how to behave in proper society, they begin whining and screaming and making fools of themselves and providing SA with mock material.

Basically, they're morons of the highest caliber.

Sadly there's plenty of room on the highest caliber moron nerd level. Bronies are there too, along with who knows how many others. Really, anyone who didn't see this coming the second Disney announced there would be new films deserves to be all faux-anguished over it.

star citizen backers are probably a low as you can get since being a brony doesn't involve spending thousands of dollars on theoretical fake space ships

Anyone worried about the canon of loving star wars needs to read a good book like

That Fucking Sned
Oct 28, 2010

My alternate universe involves a sequel that actually lives up to The Empire Strikes Back, and isn't a two-hour Eastern European knock-off of the Muppets, featuring C-3PO as the main character.

Seriously, does anyone get more dialogue in that film than him?

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there existed a subset of people who referred to themselves as "Star Wars Fanatics". These people, in search for meaning to their miserable lives, had latched onto a franchise of stupid garbage. Suddenly, the owner of the franchise excised some of the garbage, stating "this is no good". The fanatics felt furious and betrayed, "how can you destroy that which means so much to us, the loyal fans?" A reply: "Holy poo poo you nerds take your lovely fetish cult bullshit somewhere else. That poo poo's hosed and nobody cares. Eat poo poo, retards." For the fanatics were deluded; had their garbage been any good to begin with, it would still be good today, canon or not. Do not dedicate your life to worship, nothing good can come out of it, only disappointment and regret.

so the concern is that after the great schism the Orthodox EU canon's books about Luke's waifu will no longer be valid, and the mainline Disney Catholic canon willc ome up with some ridiculous movies, and then the crusaders will get drunk and burn down the EU and then the turks will take over and replace the force with Muhammad, pbuh. I forgot where I was going with this but just remember there is no god but Allah
