It seems the topic is now closed, but I wanted to address your post.

First off, you argue like a preteen. Just saying. (Maybe you are a preteen; I don't know.) It usually betrays a lack of analytical competence and makes one seem very insecure in one's position. Calm down and ditch the profanity and let us talk like civilized humans.

"yeah, the fucking race of skull people with dragon-faced sticks as weapons were 'gold'!"

If you're referring to the Yuuzhan Vong, it sounds like what you know of them is only secondhand knowledge. The main reason why people didn't like them is because they were such a huge departure from the same tired Jedi-versus-Sith stuff. I personally thought it was a nice change of pace for the franchise, though that is a matter of opinion.

"seriously, get your head out of your ass. there were so many things wrong with the EU and how badly it messed up the canon everywhere . . . "

There were indeed many things wrong with the EU. It's bound to happen when something is so huge. Like life itself, some things will be excellent, others will be crappy, and others will be mediocre. It seems rather absurd to say that the entire EU--a body of books, comics, short stories, and video games aplenty--is of poor quality based on the failings of a rather small minority of materials. I find it further unlikely that you have experienced the entirety of it, or at least a significant majority, in order to make this pronouncement, especially since you are not a fan of the EU.

" . . . but now it's a non-issue. I can't even count the huge number of post-episode 6 books that tried to be the next definitive Star Wars tale, but they always fell flat and ran over each other with maybe the exception of Thrawn."

The early EU was off to a rocky start, this is true. But they came out with better products as time went on. Also, don't fall into the pitfall of thinking only of the novels when referring to the EU. Plenty of quality comic book stories as well as video games were released for that era. In fact, on computer game in particular was what got me into the EU in the first place.

"also, 'lame casual fan'? lmao, fuck off. you already had no point and that just makes it even more abundantly clear."

Valid point. My apologies. I was just doing a bit of harmless trolling, but it came off the wrong way. I did, however, certainly have a point.

"i get that you think you're cool for being a contrarian but . . . "

I don't need to be a contrarian to be cool. It's in my blood.

" . . .while you're over there in your house gawking like an idiot at the NERVE of Disney to bring back Star Wars to an accessible state, people are enjoying it and diving into it more than ever."

I never said I didn't want people to enjoy it. This is irrelevant to me. I simply have no interest.

"Disney didn't 'destroy' everything and the EU content still exists."

Not the point. There was one continuity, which Lucas Film impressively preserved. Now there are two canons.

"you have literally nothing to complain about unless you just didn't like the movie . . . "

Which I did not, for reasons other than it going against the EU (which I mentioned).

" . . . though you said you wouldn't even give it a chance for the most ridiculous reason I've ever heard."

I never said anything like that. It's not nice to put words in people's mouths.

"anyways with that said, this topic is nothing but off-topic over and over so I'm closing it."

A flippant, immature post, and then a discontinuance of the topic so that I can't respond? Well done.
