I got perspective straight from a Timothy Zahn interview (he was quoting someone at West End Games): "George is letting us play in his driveway. We can't be mad when he backs out and runs over our stuff." #StarWars #ExpandedUniverse #StarWarsLegends

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.

"Duel of the Fates" is a #musicalTheme recurring in the Star Wars #prequelTrilogy and the #ExpandedUniverse. It was composed by #JohnWilliams and recorded for the #filmSoundtrack of #StarWarsEpisodeIThePhantomMenace by the #LondonSymphonyOrchestra (LSO) and the #LondonVoices. This #symphonic piece is played with both a full orchestra and a #choir. The lyrics are based on a fragment of an archaic #Welsh poem, #CadGoddeu (Battle of the Trees), and are sung in #Sanskrit.

After thoroughly enjoying Timothy Zahn's fantastic original Thrawn trilogy, I find the writing of other tie-in authors to be incredibly painful. #StarWars #ExpandedUniverse

Still, I have preferred the books of the Expanded Universe much more than the new books captained by Disney. I am glad that Del Rey has not abandoned the project and has even invested in releasing an Essentials Collection. However, it does not seem likely to me that they will relaunch The New Jedi Order. @swbooks @bookstodon #starwars #expandeduniverse

@FriedrichGaming @thelinuxEXP #ExpandedUniverse ? Many, many of the books that would eventually move over to the Expanded Universe were fantastic, though I especially liked those from #TimothyZahn .

Must say, this book is giving me all that I wanted with the interactions between The Doctor and Ace

Gimme the angst, gimme the heartbreak, gimme The Doctor and Ace talking about all the trauma they gone through!!!

@jynersolives #Andor is the best thing #Disney did with #StarWars since they bought it. It might be slower than usual productions nowadays, but that gives you just the right time to think and feel the mood. I was so disappointed with the latest trilogy, I almost lost all my enthusiasm about Star Wars. I even started to feel embarrassed about it. I loved the stories of the #ExpandedUniverse and Disney trampled it underfoot. But Andor is different. Andor revived it.
