Then again, to my dismay, my journey into the EU turned out to not be confusing at all, especially Darth Plagues, so what do I know. As stupid as it was making EU non-canon, I could almost agree with some of the logic considering no general audience is gonna read, watch, or play all the to understand a sequel trilogy. I compare it to the Bionicle lore, except even more massive. While it’s exciting and refreshing to finally experience some of the EU content, I couldn’t get into it because of how big it was. Same thing with Nintendo I legitimately thought every character in Melee only existed in Melee. Now, like many properties growing up, my computer was slow as balls, so I never learned there was such thing as an EU past middle school. However, despite this love, I never really went out of my way to experience the all-expansive Expanded Universe much (Legends now, if you’re a newbie), only playing Dark Forces, reading 2 books, and watching the Old Republic trailers. My 6-year-old brain never noticed how old Ep 4 was.
Funnily enough, I used to think that the prequel trilogy was made first before the original. This was my jam as a kid, never getting tired of sword fights and incredible set pieces…well, except for the shitty CG added to the original.
I was an avid fan of the first 6 movies, my jaw dropping at the Death Star imploding in Ep4 and Anakin and Obi-wan fighting their way through General Grievous’ ship in Ep 3. I would say I’m a major fan of the franchise, but I’ve mostly viewed the movies and shows, for better and for worst.
