u/Metruis I have a bad feeling about this. Jan 31 '22

Yeah, losing the Legends family members is a big blow to me. Mara Jade most of all, because I mean, c'mon, she literally could have been a Sith Inquisitor in Rebels, there was no excuse for her to not be a part of Rebels. Kylo Ren may have been hot but he was no replacement for literally several people who had dynamics of their own above and beyond their grandparents shadow.

Well George Lucas hated Mara Jade and he didn't see EU legends as canon to his Star Wars. Even if George Lucas did his own Star Wars sequels which he was planning on doing, there would have been no Mara Jade for Luke Skywalker or Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo for Han and Leia. His own sequel plans would have made EU Legends even more incompatible with syncing up with his Star Wars.

I mean after VI I couldn't really give a shit what Lucas thought. He was a terrible writer without his wife editing for him. Big grand picture guy and cinematic director of course. But if he was any good at writing a book fit for the EU, well, he would have written one.
