It's coming from bitter Expanded Universe fans:

http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/expanded-universe-fans-threaten-to-spoil-star-wars-the-force-awakens posted:

As reported by multiple outlets including Blastr, members of a closed-to-the-public Facebook group called The Alliance to Preserve the Expanded Universe (which currently has a membership of 3,645) are threatening to spoil the closely held secrets of "The Force Awakens" due to being dissatisfied with Disney and Lucasfilm establishing the Expanded Universe storylines as no longer part of official Star Wars canon.

As seen on screenshots posted by Bleeding Cool, members of the group have threatened to "spoil the living crap" out of the film. Additionally, a screenshot shows a member calling anyone who supports the cause but sees "The Force Awakens" a "traitor." The screenshots also show dissenting opinion within the group, with one member telling another that such extreme views "give fans of the Legends universe a bad name."

Turns out the goons hating on nerds are the biggest nerds of all. It's kinda like a family values politician getting caught with a gay blowjob.

Oh, also Chewie bangs Han and C3PO becomes a radicalised muslim. R2D2 is now Genderqueer. Enjoy your movie, traitors.

Woof!

Everything in the expanded universe is terrible. Well some of the video games are alright, but the novels are just horrible awful things that make the prequels look pretty good in comparison.

Only part of expanded universe that was good wasn't even canon to begin with; this being Skippy the Jedi Droid, who sacrificed himself for the good of the universe when being sold to Uncle Owen.

Anyone that invested in a corporate product that doesn't even work for said company is a garbage human imo.

I have a friend totally into all that Star Wars stuff in terms of buying the games and whatnot, and even he would roll his eyes at this idiocy.

Who gives a poo poo, it's a faggy movie series for fags, and anybody who's ever been offended by a spoiler is a double-secret-fag, like Chewbacca. Whoops, spoiler.

What's wrong with buying things you needed anyway but has a fun star wars logo or print as long as it doesn't cost any more than the original product?
