Lit I'll be honest...

not die fighting. Fight to the last man. (Man in this sentence also include women)

 

Not everything has to be a last stand.

But I'll be honest, I feel we're drifting away from the point of the thread...

Sorry

Right.

I don't know why......

I don't think anyone's convincing anyone else.

 

Everyone is basically set in their opinions and the discussion just sort seesaws back and forth with the same points being hit again and again.

 

Well, he's not wrong. Perhaps wrong to label them as the RLM Crowd. I personally prefer to say that they're pandering to nostalgia.

 

Bluntly: Yes, you're exactly right. Is it a conversation worth having? Sure. But the conversation has been had, something like thirty or forty times now. All the players know who they are, where they stand and who ticks off who. There are "heroes" on both sides. "Evil" is everywhere. And that's why these threads end up being locked. There is, as far as I can tell, absolutely no point to them. This most recent iteration has not convinced me otherwise.

People want to talk about Legends? Great. That's what the entire literature forum is for. Let's talk about Legends! I'd love it if we had more topics like Trip 's most recent post on moffs in the Imperial remnant.

I am exhausted by lit fans acting like the only thing memorable about the EU was its discontinuation. It was, and remains, a brilliant, intricate and vibrant Star Wars setting. It's just no longer the Star Wars setting, singular.

And I guarantee that most of them still haven't read / played / listened to everything from the EU. If anyone really wants to "Bring Back Legends", they should think about starting there.

. . . .

As for Disney/LFL rebooting the NU in ten years, that is absolutely ridiculous.

It'll be twenty years.

Maybe twenty-five.

 

I think that there will be more Legends material in the video games because in video games there is more freedom to create stories

In fact recently there were rumors of a KOTOR 3 and the Old Republic MMO is Legends and still sells well

 

This! Legends consists of every type of media, books, comics, games, ect. "Legends" is a banner that encompasses such wildly different works as The Thrawn Trilogy, The Force Unleashed, The Crystal Star, and Star Wars Tales. It covers everything from dark, gritty aliens who love torture, to silly stories about a 3 eyed man and his Mofference. So I dislike the way people refer to "Legends" in general tones. When people say "Bring back Legends!" my question is, "WHICH Legends?"

 

Every one

What do I mean by "Every one"?

 

So are there any Legends stories you've read (or even just Wookieepedia summaries) that you disliked?

 

Jeez.

I want EU back.

The concept that EU is Canon. That it matters.

It can have a few gems and a a whole lot of bad stuff. I don't care. As long as it's canon. CANON. That it keeps on existing, with new products.

For example: I am a AMD fan. AMD is a company that makes computer parts. That doesn't mean I have to posess every single AMD product.

I like AMD. Too bad my friends give me flack for it. Buncha Intel elitists.

 

I am enjoying the books but I often don't get them right way...or not all the time. For instance I haven't read Thrawn yet but it's in a specific "Star Wars Canon" list I have on Amazon. I'll get it soon. I'll probably read Phasma before TLJ like I did Catalyst before Rogue One. Most them up to Thrawn I've got though.

 

AMD?

 

come on. Want to know what AMD is? Click on the link.

 

I understand not having to like everything Lucasfilm puts out. There are stories I love and stories I hate in both continuities. If they did bring it back only for it to be "a whole lot of crap", I wouldn't see the point.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I see the quality of the story as more important than which universe it's in. If they made a terrible story about, idk, Jar Jar fighting wary or something, but announced it was the first and only new Legends story, would the BBL people really see it as an improvement?

Legends varied greatly, not just in quality but in media, tone, themes, ect. Let's say they did make new Legends stories. Sime people would want a continuation of the Legacy/FOTJ stuff. Some might want a sequel to TFU or Agent of the Empire or Dawn of the Jedi. Legends was so many things to so many people that bringing " it" back is too general a request IMO

 

More Star Wars material = Better for all

 

Oh, there I was thinking AMD was some obscure Legends story I ought to have heard of.

 

So a Legends question-who does everyone think is responsible for the first great schism? The Jedi or Xendor?

 

The Jedi.

Jedi: Our way or the highway
Xendor. Good riddance. Flees
