I’m not sure you knew this but there’s more to Star Wars than the OT. A lot more. Some better; a lot worse.
Oh really? I want to hear more about this.
Knights of The Old Republic and it’s sequel, The Thrawn Trilogy (which I find kind of overrated as well), Plagueis, Lost Stars and the trilogy that doesn’t need to be named are all on par with the OT in my opinion even though most are not canon. Because of these works my love for Star Wars has never been stronger…well that was the contention I held until I saw TFA.
