Eh, George wasn’t big on the extended universe either tbf. And it was never canon to begin with. It existed on George’s whim because he got a cut of the profits. But he had power to declare a novel or comic or other element from it as non canon if he so pleased.
What I don’t like is how they are adapting some of the more novels and comics into Disney plus shows but without the og cast they are a more than a bit shit.
Like I get it you can’t use the og actors but when you brought Lucasfilm you at the very least wrote three scripts before you started filming so you knew the overarching plot rather than making it up as you went alone.
I feel like they started the relationship off with fans off on a hostile note and star wars fans were notoriously hostile before hand, who buys a company for basically one ip then doesn’t write an overarching story for that trilogy, and shuts down a highly successful gaming division.
Mistakes were made. Star wars fans can be toxic af but Disney knew this going in and should have at a bare minimum planned the films before they shot them.
