I used to be an extended canon-ite, then an everything-er. Now I'm not anything on that list. I love the OT (Adywan's versions above the originals), enjoy watching the PT sometimes, but think it isn't that great, love much of the EU, hate a lot of the rest, but still enjoy it all to some degree. I like reading Star Wars books for their own sake, regardless of how well they fit into continuity, or how much they contradict other books/comics/video games. I love all the different aliens, planets, space ships, and weapons, to varying degrees of course, but I still love them. That's my favourite part of the EU and the prequels. The story and the universe is the best part of the OT, and that is what my interest in Star Wars is founded on. The rest is icing on the cake. Sometimes it's nice to scrape the icing off and enjoy the cake by itself, but sometimes I like to eat the whole cake, icing and all. Other times, when the icing is good, I eat it by itself and save the cake for later.
