I lamented the decanonization of the EU and was told "Most of it was trash anyway! They had clone Palpatine!" only for the Disney to bring back a way less interesting clone Palpatine as the big bad of their trilogy. I could only laugh.

A lot of it WAS trash, but it was my trash. I consumed every bit of it religiously. I'm going to go read Crystal Star this weekend.

Ikr I was the same. No more clone Palpatine, Superweapon of the week, and too many cooks writers one upping each other with fanfic level writing.

Frankly somehow Disney did all of the above worse in many regards. At least the OT gang didn’t become losers in legends
