Yeah, I know, I guess I usually comment on my mistakes. Here:
Aw, darn! Why didn't I see that coming!?
There you go--now you can gloat. ;)

I know it's in your favour and I'm not happy that I let myself get stuck like that. I just didn't bother whining about it and decided to suffer in silence.

I dunno, I think they should at least try to fit Episode 7 in the "old" continuity. I don't see any scenario as "too constraining" for the filmmakers. If anything, having parameters in which to work might actually breed creativity more than a blank slate would.
Chewie's dead in the old continuity. That's pretty constraining.
I don't get it. It's just a dead animal.
LOL, that's about what my dad thinks of him.

After more than a week of not being able to log on to Flickr, it finally worked! Then I found out that Google sign in will no longer be supported soon, so I had to create a third email for myself, just so I'm able to sign in in the future. After some difficulty, I finally got that working. I gave up Flickr for Lent, as well, so I haven't been able to use it for about two months. :(
I guess I spent enough of that paragraph complaining that maybe it should have gone in a different thread.

Other good news: OT.com does not appear to be going down anymore! Hurray!
LOL; the REAL origins of Darth Vader...
April 25:
A.D. 1507: "America" is first used to describe the New World.
A.D. 1719: Robinson Crusoe is published by Daniel Defoe.
A.D. 1792: The guillotine is first used in France.
A.D. 1846: Dispute over the borders of Texas begins the Mexican-American War.
I don't know, I kind of like the idea of having a unified universe, rather than having something like the Star Trek EU, which is full of contradictions and doesn't maintain a consistent story from one book to another. That's actually one thing I like a lot about the Star Wars EU. I can still ignore what I want to, but there's some degree of consistency throughout.
It would be better to keep them in the same database. Star Wars' canon will still include books and comics, just not the past ones. Star Trek's canon includes only movies and TV episodes. I think the best way to go would be to have a separate section for Legends material, with the main canon being the focus (everything on the front page would be canon, etc.).
Well, the canon is being rewritten, so I imagine that Wookieepedia will be starting over, for the most part, as well. Hopefully they'll just put the non-canon stuff separate from the canon material instead of deleting it.
Folks at TFN aren't happy about the entire EU being discarded.
I'll miss Wookieepedia...

I thought it was just post-ROTJ EU. Is it not?
EDIT: Never mind.
LOL
Well, up until this post, everyone seemed fine with it (I'm not following along, I just looked it up now).
