Cope because there wasn't any homeless drama.

Star Wars only sucks because Disney sucks. It was still good up until Disney bought it

If you go back without the nostalgia blinders on new EU isn't actually that much worse on average.

I don't agree. It's not that hard to sell Star Slop to me, and the fact that Disney puts out a dozen Star shows per hour, each with a multi-billion dollar budget should be great, but most of it is just boring. I can dig up some piece of old EU media I've never seen before (thus no rose tinted glasses) and have reasonable odds of enjoying it. The best thing Disney put out, Rogue One, was written before they ever bought the property. There's something about Disney that squeezes the fun out of everything.

I picked up Dark Nest I: The Joiner King which is the sequel to the New Jedi Order arc during the pandemic and walked away feeling somewhat less antagonistic towards the Disney EU despite generally sharing in this forum's sensibilities regarding inserting and storylines into everything, but that's just me. @SpookyFartMan69 man69 and I were just about to create a ping group, he wants to name it !gonk but I thought that might be too obscure and sounds too much like a certain portmanteau that people here love to throw around. Thoughts?

Charge the gonk, chud
I like the name. It's the right amount of obscure, plus gonk droids are cute

I was thinking of !blacksun because there's nothing that might confuse people about that name as to the purpose of the ping group. Ok, fine, you guys win. @SpookyFartMan69 You want me to lock in on gonks?

This is the most r-slur tinted glasses take. I loved old EU, but it produced slop at Disney rates, and caught shit for it at the time.

I remember people being conflicted on starkillers existence and how the rebel alliance founding had like 14 different coexisting versions.

Old EU had very poor continuity and ultimately you were just hoping for internal consistency within each installment. I'm in favor of "let people enjoy things" on this one though. The only issue with YA or made for all demographics type IPs is that too many people fail to grow out of them or to expand their horizons.

I feel like Star Wars should have stuck with that casual strategy.
It's so funny you should say that because I was thinking that a lot of the big IPs that are failing nowadays big issue is that kids just aren't into it. The thing I've seen star wars fans amp the most is Andor and I can't imagine kids were into that.

I think kids still probably do get excited for the Clone Wars animated series etc they just aren't online talking about it. I mean when I have kids in the next few years I'll be introducing them to some of the older material, lots of normies would also fall into that camp. I know someone IRL who got a Mandalorian tattoo the other year and he's an otherwise well-adjusted individual. Our perceptions are probably just poisoned by being places like this where everyone is either or or both.
