#star-wars-legends — Public Fediverse posts

2/2

Then #Disney bought #Lucasfilm in 2012.
April 2014: everything declared non-canon overnight. Hundreds of #novels, #comics, #games – all officially "Legends" now.

The authors didn't stop writing #StarWars. But Canon only now. No new Legends stories will ever be published. The door is permanently closed.

What remains is a finished universe. Complete, rich, deep. Like a #classic literature collection that rewards going deeper the more you read.
Disney didn't just erase stories. They ended a whole direction of storytelling that trusted its audience to handle complexity.

Now exploring it properly. Years of material waiting.

I still maintain that Asajj Ventress is one of the *few* characters that’s improved upon in the new #StarWars cannon compared to her depiction in #StarWarsLegends.

She’s still badass as a mostly mindless assassin and has a pretty decent conclusion in #SWLegends, but #TheCloneWars show gave her much more depth.

I've been thinking about Jude Watson's remarkable JEDI APPRENTICE series, and that led me back to an older post I made (below) on foreshadowing.

"If you could choose your death, Qui-Gon, wouldn't you rather die in peace and comfort than violently in battle, in shock and despair?"
