From another thread:
I think the sections labeled “Beyond The Original Trilogy” and “Expanded Universe” overlap too much. I think separate sections for Originals, Prequels, Sequels, and TV series would be nice, along with a General Star Wars discussion for topics that cover the entire saga such as the comparisons you mention.
I’m sure preservation and fan edit topics would naturally pop up in those sections, but there would still be a main section for that.
I don’t see much talk about books and video games. I suppose they could fall under the General category.
Don’t get me wrong, this place is great. Just my OCD kicking in.
Plans to split the the current The Expanded Universe & General Star Wars Discussion section into two separate categories are afoot 😉
So the ‘Star Wars’ section of the site would look like this…
• Original Trilogy Discussion
• Beyond the Original Trilogy
• Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases
• The Expanded Universe
• General Star Wars Discussions
• Toys & Memorabilia
Books and video games would likely fall under the ‘The Expanded Universe’ section. Something akin to…
‘For talk on the books, comics, gaming, soundtracks & music, documentaries, fan films, homages, cons & events, theme parks & rides, fan clubs & memberships…’
The General Star Wars Discussion would likely be along the lines of…
‘For discussions that cross the ‘Original Trilogy’, ‘Beyond The Original Trilogy’ and ‘The Expanded Universe’ forums; for thoughts and chat that covers the wider GFFA…’
Don’t get me wrong, this place is great. Just my OCD kicking in.
Thanks mate 👍
(there is some method in the madness of it all (or is madness in the method? 😉)
Just my $0.02, but that sounds like going from two similar sections to three similar sections. Beyond the Original Trilogy, Expanded Universe, and General Discussion sounds like they would have so much overlap they might as well be one section.
Not to overstep, but my thoughts were more like:
Original Trilogy
Prequel Trilogy
Sequel Trilogy
TV Series (animated and live action)
General Discussion (games, books, etc.)Preservation
Fan editsOff-Topic
Again, no complaints or criticism intended. I appreciate and enjoy this forum and believe its existence is extremely important. Thanks to everyone here for all their hard work. Like I said, just my OCD kicking in.

It’s much more clear! Maybe adding a section about the other movies (Ewoks, Clone Wars, Rogue one & Solo, and future films!)
Yeah, I’m still unsure about the division between the sections. Adding more seems unnecessary.
