far too many people take star wars too seriously rather than at face Value, a series of fantasy films in the vein of flash gordon and buck rogers serials its not serious religious dogma, its for fun.
i would agree with Archie Goodwin who said star wars was the best comic book movie not based on a comic book, lol
I sure i am not the only one who has had more fun reading eu comics and novels than watching the prequels.
The sequel stories though not by George now in my mind take the place of the cancelled sequel trilogy, i could care less if he wants to canonize them or not. I fell in love with star wars for the adventures of luke skywalker, not the vader saga.
