EU Commando

#StarWars fan account. Focus on Expanded Universe continuity. My goal is to celebrate, dispel misconceptions, and encourage new fans to check out the EU.

This obnoxious "The EU was never canon" argument just wont die, huh?

Look, I really (and I mean REALLY), don't care if George Lucas considered the EU "his story" or not. I know he approved of the EU, because of his forewards in Splinter Of The Mind'a Eye and Shatterpoint, 1/?

I ended up seeing it. It was not good. I feel vindicated.

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

Either adapt Tolkien's works accurately TO HIS TEXTS, or don't adapt his works at all.
I'm sick of these glorified fanfictions. It didnt work for Jackson's The Hobbit. It didn't work for Shadow Of Mordor/War. It didn't work for Rings Of Power. It wont work here either.

The first trailer for ‘THE LORD OF THE RINGS: WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM’ has been released.

In theaters on December 13.

I see literally nothing has changed on this side of Twatter

RIP Lord Vader

@SWT_Channel Pre-Disney, 100000%
Not only in quality of the stories, but the variety of medium, and the community was better

@MarkEmkey I've only been smoking for about two months, so I'm new too

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

Inspired by Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis I recently got into pipe smoking. Any other pipe smokers? It's such a relaxing hobby

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@KenobiStig Careful, a lot of angry normies are gonna start in here about how you're a joyless baby, and Tolkien wasnt all that great anyways.

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@AsparagusDq Are you stupid, or just acting stupid? I said in the comments. I've been talking about them

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@Darkduprey_HS @jared_hartless I'd rather a small but dedicated and critical fanbase, than a large fanbase of people who dont care about the source material.

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@jared_hartless @Darkduprey_HS How's Dragon Ball Evolution, again?

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@IShowRingsss By making a character from the books who was so insignificant she didnt even get named the main character?

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@Darkduprey_HS @jared_hartless You're delusional

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@Layco_OG @Mitchell_Kidd1 Yea, and I hate they changes they made/parts they left out. The movies could have been even vastly better. I still dont think they're as bad as the examples I gave though.

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@DaLinkMarine Anime is trendy

Even though this wasnt animated by a Japanese studio lol

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@Darkduprey_HS @jared_hartless Right, because people dont ever read old books without new people ruining the world decades later

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@Darkduprey_HS @jared_hartless How is not wanting new hack writers tainting his legacy, not caring about his legacy?

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@jared_hartless @Darkduprey_HS Without reading the books, back in the day, I would have considered them perfect movies. Now I consider them flawed passion projects. The more I read of Tolkien's work, the more flaws I see.

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@jared_hartless @Darkduprey_HS They're well made movies, made with passion, and are overall good and mostly accurate to the books, but the changes made from the books are bad, and I strongly dislike many of them. The movies would have been much better had they not made those changes.

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@Leopardprins Helm's daughter was so unimportant in the books Tolkien didnt even name her. Yet she is the main character in this movie. That's only possible by making massive changes to Tolkien's text.

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@LiterallyWhoTho know better than Tolkien, when he spent an absurd level of time crafting his world down to minute details. He lived and breathed Middle Earth. "Your" changes to the story are not going to improve on Tolkien's own writing. So just adapt his writing.

[EU Commando @EUCommando]

@LiterallyWhoTho 2. Tolkien went above and beyond in his writing to detail literally notable every character and event. His world isn't one full of holes and empty plots waiting for other people to fill. He already covered everything. I find if disrespectful that other people think that they...
