See, I prefer canons where the EU is NOT canon. It allows me to pick and choose which books I want in my headcanon for said characters. Sure, it makes discussion with other fans a minefield, but hey, you can say "not canon, so nyeh."

Where as universes, like Star Wars, where ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING is canon to some degree, makes for a sloppy mess of a timeline and you have too many things that end up contradicting each other.

It's why I'm secretly hoping Disney does away with the EU that takes place AFTER episode 6 and starting anew with the new films. Though that still leaves the Clone Wars comics, The Clone Wars cartoon series, and the little Clone Wars shorts that all kind of much a 3 year war into something that lasted 10 or more...

But anywho, I do get what you feel in a way. It's why I LOVE Star Trek novels. They aren't canon at all~

edit: Now, this doesn't mean that I don't enjoy things like Star Wars, I very much do, but I hate how some info contradicts other things and it gets confusing. It's why even in a universe like that, I tend to pick and choose what I will and will not accept as canon.

(DON'T get me started on the KOTOR/SWTOR fandom right now re:Revan. i don't have much stake since i never played KOTOR, but i HATE the insistence that Revan is female and SHOULD BE FEMALE RWAR and have hot lesbian sex with bastila. nothing wrong with that as a personal headcanon cause that's cool, but it gets coupled with this idea that Revan should be female cause SUPER POWERFUL FEMALE JEDI/SITH CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY, which ends up excluding so many other awesome and powerful female characters in the SW EU and canon movie!verse. i fucking hate that.
say what you will about the novel (was it perfect? nope. but as a quick read, i enjoyed it), but stop putting your personal headcanons in as THE canon. jesus)

Trek novels were exactly what I thought of when I saw this secret. They're (and this is not an insult in any way) just fic. Glorious, book-length, book-shaped fic, and some of them are complete crap, and some of them open your eyes to a character in ways you never thought about before, but one can contradict another and nobody cares because they're about the show, not part of the show, written by people who love it as much as you do.

The one saving grace I feel Transformers has is though anything and everything is canon, it's also a multiverse, so you put your hand up and say "Not my timeline!".

So... are they saying Ventress doesn't exist? Because Ventress is HBIC, and I refuse to allow my Sith queen to be erased.

No...? I said AFTER episode 6. Ventress is big well before episode 6. Just saying that comics, some of the books, and the shows contradict one another and/or smush a 3 year war into something that should be 10 or more, or at least 5.
