Legends Star Wars VS The Disney Sequel Trilogy - A Contrast!

Now that the Skywalker saga is over, well, we are kind of disappointed. All the books, comics, and games in Legends star wars were more consistent and made more sense than Disney's trilogy.

When legends revives Palpatine it takes it's time with two whole books

When Disney revives Palpatine they gloss over it with a short sentence and a fortnite crossover.

Palpatine: The EU is a path to many stories some would consider non cannon.
Anakin: Is it possible to learn this power?
Palpatine: Not from a mouse.

I saw a comment saying Luke had a better life in legends. Yeah, heck Luke *HAD* a life in legends. Unlike the sequels

It’s not “legends” - it’s the Expanded Universe. I don’t care what Disney says, this is the real continuation of the story and not whatever shit Disney threw together and called “Star Wars.”

The EU could get silly, but it was a fun kind of silly. I miss the Maw Installation and its high-tech innovations.

[herosshade]

Disney fans have no place to stand when they clame the EU was "too messy and inconsistent" while Rise of Skywalker exists.

[blakestone]

Legends is flawed. But what masterpiece isn’t?

Disney isn’t flawed, it’s rotten at the core.

The geopolitics of the EU differs from sequels in that the former actually has geopolitics and the latter does not.

[Maverickc]

What's funny to me is when the EU was canned, Disney believers shat on those who were upset, saying how the EU was full of superweapons and resurrected Palpatine, and Disney was smart to get away from that...

What did Disney give us instead? Superweapons and resurrected Palpatines. Oh, and no new Jedi Order to fight them off.

Legends Luke: Bad ass jedi master that has a fully functioning jedi academy.

Disney Luke: disgruntled senile old man incapable of training his nephew padawan.

It really is amazing how the old Lucas Arts managed to keep thousands of books, comics, and games consistent in one big beautiful continuity, and Disney can't even make 3 films without fucking it up.

[oolooo]

The Expanded Universe respected the movies that came before it and George Lucas's vision .It all came from a loving place, a care for the Star Wars universe .

The Disney Canon comes from a jaded, spiteful feeling, spitting on all material that came before while simultaneously depending on it completely and copying it to create anything, be it movies or expanded content .All in a purely monetary pursuit and a lack of care for the property .

Fan fact: George Lucas worked on the story of the first Force Unleashed game and he had declared it an official part of the Star Wars mythos. The unofficial 4th prequel and the link between the two trilogies.

[YowLife]

The ideas presented in the Disney sequel trilogy are so simple and blatant. They're like the first drafts of fanfic ideas first time fans would come up with for the movies.

[oriongear]

I've heard some people talking about how they want Disney to bring Mara Jade into the Disney Canon, but at this point I personally don't want Disney to ruin Mara Jade like they did with Luke and Leia.

[bostaflamejante]

Basically, legends evolves the story, canon makes the OT pointless as everything goes back to episode IV status.

[StarGazergaming]

The EU will always be canon to me.

edit: Jesus Christ, I was just stating my opinion, I didn't expect that my comment would blow up like this with so many likes and comments.

[CrashWeezerman]

My disappointment with the sequel trilogy has actually gotten me interested in the expanded universe. It seems to have had more care put into it.

You know, if Lucasfilm had simply adapted the EU with slight changes here and there they would have had a massive cash cow on their hands. Everyone loved the EU, and while some people had disagreements, most loved the way the story followed Luke, Han, Leia, Jacen, etc. They didn't even have to write a story, just write an adaptation. Such a shame they decided to go a different direction.
