Fair point, but we're basing our comments in part on the Databank, not the actual movie, here. Arguably.

You could be right, Watto.
It could be SIGNIFICANTLY more cohesive.
but.
as you said...those guides and timelines.
extensive work has been done to get the previous stuff to work in cohesion...both by fans and people on LFL payroll.
Is it not good enough?
I sympathize with anyone who has bought the recent essentials...you get used to the idea of them being outdated..but within a year or 2?
So...is it making it better, or easier to follow? or both? Will those previous efforts be "updated"?
___________
We could be blown away by what's to come...but does that mean nothing matters if they take a shot on improvement? Nothing is ever as good as what a new story can do?
It's "special edition" logic for the EU.

I'd sympathize if this was news, but it's always been the canon policy, so the fact that this is perhaps the largest, most egregious use of it doesn't change anything.

Skywalker gets knighted half a year before the movie. Moving that back changes what exactly? It was ridiculous he expected to be a master in title in the movie, only 3yrs since the last movie and barely out of his teens.
As opposed to Obi-Wan, who goes from being a Knight to being a Master with an apprentice in the span on 5 seconds?

1. Does this mean the whole three million clones stuff only applied to the first few months and that there was actually a much bigger Grand Army and that all the talk of 'wars on thousands of worlds' will take place in the subsequent period? 
Oh, yes. That's exactly what we need- timeline revisions married to the numbers debate. Are you trying to destroy the fabric of space and time?

Mostly Anakin, though Ventress and a couple others also got updated, it's the Anakin one causing the msot trouble.

I might take you up on that.
I worked the years through the prequels at a theater myself.
You're welcome to. 
Pulling a Ratner, oh, I remember this, but I wanted to highlight this...
Back in 1991, Gerald Ratner's famous speech was instantly seized upon by the media, wiping an estimated £500m from the value of the company, and in 1994 his name was expunged from the company.
I would laugh myself to the insane asylum if George ever managed to do that.
 If only Ratner had done this in comics - no one have cared for comic fans are used to being treated with contempt by the big companies but still buy the product - see OMD and Countdown - SW fans are similar, therefore this predicted collapse is unlikely to happen....
Yet...
Maybe....
Yes, it could lead to a backlash but I don't think it would be of sufficient financial severity to force a re-think.

OK...All I can really think of to say is simply crap. There's probably a way to fix this, but I'll damned if I can find out what. I'd also like to extend my most heartfelt sympathies to Abel and Dan right around now. Good luck.
On a somewhat more trivial note:
*Whose genius idea was to give Cody's unit the name of Ghost Squadron? I mean, come on. Ghost Squadron? 
*Why's Rex's reference number start with CC if he's not a commander? Or is this a throwback to the Shatterpoint system where Captains had the CC, and Commanders were CRC or the like?
*That new picture on Cody's page is awesome.

Also... This new code of conduct... Doesn't it suggest not to criticize something you haven't seen yet?
I'd say this thread is more concerned with the impact of product rather than the quality of it. The central point is around how much thought has gone into the handling of the impacts and the wider meaning for the SW EU as a whole.

Oh well... I can understand some people are upset.
But I didn't buy no "essential" guides. And I gave up on the timeline... yyyyears ago.
So I didn't get served!
