@DarthChoco7 @AtaruScales I dunno Dark Nest is real bad, but I feel like canon has a problem where alot of books, the stories feel kind of fanficy. Like Battlescars is just a Merrin shipping fanfic fest.
Canon truly excells in smaller character driven stories, and Legends is better in setting, and events
@DarthChoco7 Canon has the same horrid lows of Legends but its arguably worse because those horrid lows are not just novels, but films.
It has a post-ROTJ setting that bricked itself from the start with TFA, and 3 movies holding it all down.
Legends dont have that problem cuz its all books
The view of the sequels is never going to be retroactively “fixed” by more material in the same way the prequels were, because the ST has a fundamentally bad foundation. It’s like trying to renovate on top of a mudslide.
The PT had an execution problem, so there was room to fix.
@DisneyCanonLs High Republic has like nothing in common with the Old Republic at all. Its not trying to be a ripoff version lmao, its an original story with an original setting.
This bullshit rock criticism has the same energy as "didn't the EU drop a moon on Chewie" or "didn't they clone Luke
@unicorntrainee @JynKnightShadow Nah not really, it was moreso the tv shows that conflicted with the EU, than the EU itself when it came to the clone wars
@unicorntrainee @JynKnightShadow Despite the large amount of stories, the EU did have a story that was in large thematically consistent with the OT, that did the OT justice instead of simply trying to emulate it.
The ST has the problems of just not being thematically resonant with the OT
@Jaysonfr_ @JynKnightShadow I've never understood the power creep argument
Its very grouned for the most part in the EU books, at least in the bantam era up till New Jedi Order
@unicorntrainee @JynKnightShadow I mean, its really not??
In comparison to canon, it has the same amount of story messiness
For example, the series after NJO has the same problems that the ST does
