Save the Old Republic History of the Expanded Universe

I personally love the EU and almost everything about it. Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Legacy storyline with Jacen as Darth Caedus were all pretty great. And if Disney chooses to disregard it I hate them for doing it but I understand it. They want to make a clean start without the clutter of the existing star wars universe.

What I don't understand however is why they feel the need to completely erase the old republic as well. The existing old republic stories including Revan and others are some of my favorites.

If Disney kept the old republic history alive it would be a conciliatory gesture towards the existing Star Wars fan base. More importantly, the existence of this history doesn't interfere with the continuity of the six movies or the upcoming trilogy.

I created a facebook page dedicated to this and ask that you all join. The link is below. Thank You.

I admire your intent but I think they declared everything Legends so *they* can indeed fill in whatever period they want. Post-RotJ isn't the only era nor is it any less valid to the fanbase.

 

This is not a forum for organizing Save the EU efforts. If you would like to discuss the effects that the Disney acquisition of Star Wars will have/has had on the Expanded Universe, we have a stickied thread for that.
