If this article’s accurate, Disney Ulic has the same exact history as Legends Ulic. Tom Veitch originally intended Ulic to die unredeemed. Why couldn’t the new writers honour Veitch’s vision and provide longtime readers a fresh, new take on an old character? There’s a painful dearth of creativity at play.
It bugs me when fans dismiss the old EU as worthless simply because a corporation doesn’t recognize it as official Canon.
Me too. Regardless of whether they’re indifferent newcomers or oldtimers who’re upset their beloved stories aren’t “true” anymore.
