Sorry, I'm just a bit annoyed about all of the discussions going on here about supplementary material, when it really shouldn't matter. If you don't like it, there's no rule that explicitly says you have to accept it as any kind of fact.

That's exactly why I wanted to have this discussion. We've had plenty of discussions about what people accept as official (or not). I'm curious as to why, because to some fans it's a very big deal.

Your use of the term supplemental is interesting. Plenty of fans see anything non-film as supplemental. 35 years in, there are 295 books written by 79 authors. Plus there are numerous games and comics, all officially licensed publications by Lucasfilm. Compared to just six films, we have moved far beyond supplemental.

What I can't grasp is why some fans don't accept that vast amount of material as legitimate. The entire entity is fiction. Why is there a need for some fans to have some parts of it be seen as more official than others?
