Interesting read if you want to know how the fuck Wookieepedia is reacting to all this:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:SH:The_Great_EU_Purge_(New_Canon;Legends_discussion)?t=20140428034101

Yeeesh. Some of these guys are bananas.

I don't mean to be dense (it just comes naturally), but I cannot make sense of the blogosphere\nerdom implosion over this. It's a business decision by Disney. Granted it's one I don't care for**, but it doesn't change the published stories.

Personal Canon is all that matters. See\read what you like and discard the rest. All of this is make believe. Yet there are people on TFN and Wookieepedia who are seriously distraught over how their world has been ruined.

They're acting as though something has changed other than a business model\ direction. They're saying things like they need this to change, or need something or other to be officially dealt with, officially addressed, they can't move on until some such has been corrected, etc, etc.

Are they incapable of thinking for themselves? Incapable of having imaginations, or ideas? FFS ! As the Yellow Submarine three-sheet hanging on the wall in my office says; Nothing Is Real.

** My dislike of the decision is purely selfish. I would love a Mara Jade\Talon Karrde film. I'd dig seeing Booster Terrik and the Errant Venture realized. The Outer Rim stories, to me, are infinitely more interesting than the tiny Lucasverse. Beyond what I'd like to see in a theater, "Official" canon" is just "Official" noise.
