Message: [QUOTE="kingofdragons, post: 202424, member: 2843"] ugh, dont get me started on star wars im still so mad. The EU stuff was a copyright patchwork, Disney prefers everything they do to be owned completely by them and to not have to pay or negotiate with anybody else even for basic rights or creative decisions. The real money was in the merchandise, and they needed full rights control over it. I actually really like most of the EU, I know not everyone shares the same opinion, it had some misses here and there, but at least even in those misses it tried to do something different. Disney are scumbags because what they are actually doing is just making their own knockoff version of the EU material, and because its done so fast and with so much outside meddling it shows and ends up being junk. The prequels were basically their own version of the originals, with a new Vader and all, the High Republic is a knockoff Old Republic, The new animated shows were supposed to be a starting point for their own cartoons and so on. All of that was tied to merchandise to replace the old merchandise. It failed so bad there's landfills with Star Wars toys and other junk now. Look at how bad their rides and hotel did at the parks, they invested billions into those and the returns have been abysmal. And I agree, I hate the darn Legacy crap, we now have such an ugly split into 'canon' and 'legacy' lore its infuriating, especially when the old lore was so much better. [/QUOTE]
