Can someone tell me why the EU even existed in the first place? Without it the franchise wouldn’t be so polluted and discourage people from getting into SW.

EUs are good at keeping interest alive while kids wait for the next movie. It also gives the studio an added income between movie tickets and home video sales. Also for many fans the EU is synonyms with the franchise.

It’s not so much the idea of an EU that is the problem, but rather that they tend to get out of hand at some point.

Also I really don’t see how the EU discourages people from watching SW. I doubt that most people even know it exists, or at the very least give it any serious thought.
