Very true. Its about money. Always is.

I'm still laughing at the fan nerds to this day who were angry Lucas didn't "insert EU referance here" as if anybody cares about some obscure class of Star Destroyer other than them.

It matters because the fan appreciates the fantasy made by the creator and team. So they would like to add. Some times Creator and team uses fan ideas... with or with out permission.

These hardcore series "fans" have convinced themselves they're better at Star Wars then Lucas is and that's just hilarious. Considering 90% of EU writing essentially boils down to "dur jedi/sith wank".

Why not? Who made Lucas a god above mortals?

The point of the EU was to expand the universe. But in practice it never does that. What it consistently tries to do is 1up George Lucas. Ohhh Lucas has jedi but look we've get teh BULLET DODGIN Jediz zomg!!! Hey, how else can we ignore continuity with the main series? Rip off the Matrix for bonus points!

So EU makes a alternate Starwars universe. It appeals to a fan base? If there happy why not. Lucas targets majority of the masses. Fan's target each other. Sometimes there ideas are amazing and other times well.. your right... they shouldn't be applying there ideas.

What i'm trying to say is that they do the exact opposite. Novels and book series written *never* expand on the universe. They just write "maor jedis".

maybe its repeditive for some this eternal battle between jedi's and sith's. But this is starwars. It would be nice to have a story with tramp freighter captain flying in the universe smuggling while avoiding the politics. Or a bounty hunters life? who knows...?

I understand your bordem with the repetitive never ending midi-clorian battle in the universe. My dark side is refusing me to understand your statement... My feelings are clouding my judgment... :rotfl:
Cheers dude and may the force be with you.
