  1. 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.

  2. 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?"
