Just discovered #StarWars #Legends, the old #ExpandedUniverse before #Disney wiped it in 2014 and it changed how I see the whole franchise.

#Lucas gave us the setting. The #films, the visuals, the basic mythology. But the EU authors took that sandbox and built something genuinely complex inside it. Real philosophy. Morally grey characters. Stories that don't end with a hero saving the galaxy and everyone smiling.

#DarthPlagueis manipulating galactic politics across decades. #DarthBane rebuilding the #Sith from nothing through pure ideology. Characters who are compelling precisely because they're not heroes.

This is what happens when talented authors get #creative #freedom inside a rich universe. The EU had no constraints the films had. No mass audience to please.

A friends son wants a Star Wars theme birthday.

He asked if I could turn up as my Sith Lord. I tried to explain mine is made up.

“You know my son is in a wheelchair. He adores your Sith Lord. Please help me show him he can be anything he wants.”

This is why representation matters. I wish @starwars would show more physical Disabilities, but until they do, I will bring my A game.
