(Anonymous) 2014-11-18 07:05 am (UTC)(link)What I'm most frustrated with right now is the ambiguity surrounding some of the earlier, pre-Ruusan Old Republic era material - everything around the Rakata, the Je'daii Order, and the formation of the Republic itself, through all the history of the Sith (species and Empire) wars with the Republic... none of that history is necessarily incompatible with the movies, but none of it has been officially accepted either. It makes a lot of details that were created for that era to be in a weird sort of limbo - for instance, cortosis was invented (as far as I can recall) for Knights of the Old Republic, as an excuse for why swords and armor can stand up to lightsabers at all. Yet it also shows up in Star Wars: A New Dawn, which is the first officially-canon book (and is a nice prequel to Rebels, which is awesome). In the book, a cyberneticly-enhanced person has a cortosis weave in his skin, and if you shoot him with a blaster, the energy is conducted around his body. It's not exactly the same properties as described in the games, books, and comics, but that can be handwaved away as processing variations - if, that is, it's supposed to be the same stuff.
I understand why Disney decided to toss out everything in the EU that's near or after the movies - at this point it's a monolith of contradictory details and timelines and even Wookieepedia can't keep it all straight. But dammit, I will be mad if they explicitly contradict a lot of the distant history that I like so much. :( And I really, really hope that the vague, general shape of the post-movies universe still makes sense - that Luke still brought back the Jedi, and Leia and Han got married, and the New Republic got formed, because seriously, if they try to not do at least those few things I'm going to swear off the rest of the movies and live in my own little bubble of Legends-is-canon-hell-with-you. (Except for the Yuuzhon Vong, which I never liked; my canon ends just before New Jedi Order starts.)
...I apparently have Feelings on this topic.
