were they even canon to begin with?

[cushlamochree]

Kind of.

There was a complicated, byzantine system of canonicity where things in the Star Wars universe would have varying levels of canon depending on their source - from things in the films and the word of George Lucas being the most canonical, to things in, like, toys and ad campaigns being the least. But as a general rule, things in the EU were considered canonical unless they were contradicted by something that was more canonical. Which led to some pretty silly things being canonical, but I think it was also a pretty big draw for a lot of fans - the EU stuff 'counted' in some sense.

And this here is why I could not properly get into Star Wars and never will, despite my loving Lucas' films.

Essentially because George said there would never been anymore films after Return of the Jedi. (of course he said THAT before he did the prequels.

[(Anonymous)]

Some were.

[(Anonymous)]

Not really. The funny part is that the people who are the most butthurt over this are adamant that some parts of the EU were not and should not ever have shared in the "semi-canon" purgatory that their precious favorite parts were.

[(Anonymous)]

There have been bits and pieces brought into the canon (Coruscant was named by Zahn, iirc, but Lucas had always envisioned Coruscant as a city planet, it was just named Had Abbadon and then changed, probably because Lucas realized what a terrible name it was, I hope.)

But no. 98% it no, and it couldn't have been (there have been too many times for me to count when I'd stop and go, "But that doesn't make sense because of what happened ______/what _______ is")

It's glorified fan fiction.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

No, they were never "canon" (which is a fucking stupid idea to begin with). Their continuity was always a distant third behind any feature-film released produced by George, and TV where George had executive producer credit.

[(Anonymous)]

I pretty much got a "Play in the sandbox but don't move the sand into my yard" kind of vibe from how Lucas saw the EU stuff.
