Thoughts on the current state of Star Wars byEspinoth
Star Wars Legends is a lot like G1 Transformers. A multimedia juggernaut that was contributed to by all sorts of people.
The new movies and the nuEU as a whole are like G2, they try to focus on mass market appeal in order to sell even more merchandise, and completely fail, driving people away from the franchise instead.
Also like G2, the nuEU introduces a lot of cool and interesting new concepts, but the writing and execution leave a lot to be desired, leading to many story elements falling completely flat.
Snoke in many respects seems similar to Liege Maximo.
Here's hoping that if Episode 9 bombs as badly or worse than Solo, the nuEU will fade into relative obscurity just as quickly, and Legends is brought back with a story arc on par with Beast Wars, perhaps bringing in a new version of Snoke, this time hailing from one of the main Star Wars galaxy's seven satellites. 🍻
