I’m in rather the same boat as BedeHistory731. I’ll just leave it at that. 😃
It’s also important to note that BedeHistory731’s original post on the subject started with the word “sometimes.” Which is as adverb that means “occasionally, but not all of the time.”
I also “sometimes” feel that the original 1977 Star Wars should be only Star Wars movie… I also “sometimes” feel the the entire OT is awesome as it is. I don’t have one static unwavering thought on the matter.
In relation to the subject of this thread, I personally do see the OT as the only cannon. IMO everything else just feels like fanfiction that succeeds sporadically at being entertaining.
