Now for a group of O-OT fans like us, everything with SW now is a downer.
From where I sit, not everything is bad.
I get frustrated with the situation from time to time, but there is a SW Lucas cannot and never did ruin - its the IU (Individual Universe). How each of us have interpreted the SW universe - this, fortunately, cannot be edited by anyone.
For me that includes the entire OUT, A lot of the PT, some of the EU; of the EU, certain books and games have entertained me, at times, as well as the OUT. The KOTOR series was particularly satisfying.
I don't deny the canonical status of the PT, but I am free to reject any part of it as I see fit.
