Hiya Fated, the main reasons why the two respective sections are in the same forum category are…
We wanted to keep certain topics of conversation separate from each other; one forum dedicated for the OT, one for onscreen content outside of the OT, plus one for discussing aspects of both - yet also the wider GFFA as a whole.
Feedback from members on the subject of the forum re-organisation suggested they didn’t want too many new forum categories created to have to sift through. (So we whittled it down to an additional two new categories.)
We just weren’t sure just how many threads there would be for a ‘General Star Wars Discussion’ section after the old 5000+ thread forum was split into ‘Original Trilogy’, ‘Beyond the OT’ and ‘The EU’. (I’d guess at around 300 threads.)
If there is enough demand to separate them… this may change - though we don’t think it’ll happen anytime soon, mate.
If anyone has any suggestions or further questions (as well as requests to separate ‘The Expanded Universe’ & ‘General Star Wars Discussion’ sections) feel free to post them up in the site’s Feedback Forum - thank you.
👍
Thank for explanation above, ooj. In the future would the mods please consider separating the ‘General Star Wars Discussion’ from ‘The Expanded Universe’ - placing them into a different section?
It would make it a lot easier to navigate through the topics in there and make them more distinct from each other.
Perhaps, move the ‘General Star Wars Discussion’ section in with the quieter ‘Toys & Memorabilia’ section instead?

So it would read as:
Original Trilogy Discussion
Beyond the Original Trilogy
Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases
The Expanded Universe
General Star Wars Discussion
This is just my suggestion, I’m sure others have theirs too!
You guys are awesome for the work you all put in here. Thank you.
