When I was about ten the Thrawn trilogy was absolutely huge. I loved those books and the others that followed and filled in other time periods. I miss those days.
Personally I’ve decided to disregard Disney “canon,” preferring Legends continuity as it’s not only vastly superior in story telling but it’s actually faithful to the characters in both the OT and Prequels albeit with the Obi Wan Kenobi mini-series being the sole exception IMO. Disney’s butchered the Star Wars universe and it’s a complete joke.
You clearly are parroting things you’ve heard or read. Ask anyone who actually grew up in that time & consumed the content as it came out, there’s a lot of great ideas, themes, and yes, even excellent stories executed very well. However, the EU was suffering from bloat, inconsistency, silly, unnecessary BS that was allowed simply because of a lack of oversight Did you know that in the EU, Luke Skywalker had a clone of himself called Luuke. No that’s not a type; no I’m not kidding. There is TONS of stupid shit like that but everywhere along with inconsistency and bad writing. It’s no different. Period.
Agreed; and I loved the Thrawn trilogy, and was actually quite cool that Luke had an "evil" clone (from the hand he lost at Cloud City), just one of the many fantastic aspects of the EU which I experienced as it was happening. It was an exciting time, unlike now.
Prefer Legends it did Luke justice show how far he grown as Jedi even surpassing his Father becoming grandmaster of the new Jedi order and have family of his own he has his ups and down but a Jedi life going have it struggles but I think he has a life worth living.
Disney Star Wars is like watching what the Sith would do if they won. Power for the sake of power. If you can't create you can always destroy. Disney is The Empire....thats the great irony of Disney Star Wars. 😆
i love this franchise so much but i find it very frustrating to understand the lore (not the movies). im not interested in the so called "canon". i want to read the legends, or in other words the comics when lucas was in charge, but i cant find them anywhere. i cant buy them since disney doesnt release them anymore, and i cant find them anywhere on the internet. most youtube videos do compilations, which are out of chronological order. and then again i just saw episode 7 and 8, and yes this universe is doomed if disney doesnt sell it.
Dunno if anyones helped/suggested to you but I believe they are online or available as audiobooks. I believe I have a few as well. If you respond tmrw when I’m home from the bar I’ll try to send some links your way.
I find it difficult to immerse myself in the new lore as it connects to the ST. Legends did a far superior job honoring the legacy characters. Looks like a cool comic
18:57 Now this is what I accept. But The Disney version was confusing. I normally would watch a set of movies a total of 9 times because I loved them. Not to watch them a total of 9 times because they were totally confusing. I’m not hating or loving 7-9. Looking back from all the years of movies I’ve watched. There were some movies that went on to sequels like 2,3,4&5. But they kept the original story or whatever it was There. They even had origin story of the main character(s)how they turned evil. To give more depth to the character(s). I always felt it was rushed/something like that. But that was yrs ago this is now.
35:59 hmm exagal I feel this is Disneys Star Wars. Hmm I’ll treat this as an alternate timeline. It feels good to listen to. There’s been too much devision on both sides of this. Time to heal. Time to move on. I’m glad that Disney is using Lego Star Wars to correct the horrible confusing decisiveness. To allow ppl to choose between what Star Wars universe timeline they want. To respect the fanbase as a whole. Dark Empire is Expanded. I don’t treat Star Wars expanded as legend. But as expanded universe. Exogol is new legends. 38:09 all those are expanded universe. Exogol isn’t canon. Its butchered.
I definitely prefer a majority of his exploits in Legends better. I think Luke became a TRUE Jedi in ‘canon’ and I like the Knights of Ren clash as well as that Battlefront ll ad well as Mandalorian cameos. Disney really needs to explore his exploits and power more in canon after ROTJ imho.
Honestly I don't even know why they attempt their own story timeline it's absolutely garbage an im so glad people are actually pushing back. Can't stand Disney lore it's a shame for them to utterly ruin a hugely loved series
Why would you want anything to do with the Disney prequels. They are not Cannon they're garbage. I like the fact that you're able to track what Luke did after the death of a second death star but anything to do with the prequels is a complete turnoff.

He had both lightside and darkside of the force. He used both sides. So he was a Grey Jedi Knight. Luke became clone Palps apprentice inorder to undermine the Clone Palp. That’s all I remember. (He didn’t refine the force in its purest forms).👈🏻Thats a butchering by Disney. 46:14 Luke founding the Jedi Order on Yavin 4👈🏻thats Disney. 👉🏻Luke reconstituted the Jedi order on Tython.👈🏻That’s the unbutchered version. Exar Kun wasnt revived by draining the life from the other Jedi. But I don’t think it was on Yavin 4. (Disney did do lots of damage to Star Wars. Side note). It was the reviving of Marka Ragnos on korriban by draining the Darkside energy from places strong in the force. Master Boss sacrifice himself for Luke and etc save them from a dark Jedi. 50:45 This isnt legends. The Luke clone was cloned by the Cloned Emperor Palps. But this is entertaining. To watch.
Geez, people say the sequels are bad. I mean, I knew the different book timelines were trash, and the marvel and dark horse comics both were corny. But Disney real did have no choice but to do their best.
You could never connect legends with the force awakens.. those last three movies are so far off from anything that legends or any of the original canon was even close to.. they need to make the last three original films..
perfect i was just about to start my workout 🙏

May the force be with you. Youngling.

You get it 🫡
I strongly disagree but you consume content you enjoy.
Disagreed. But you’re entitled to your opinion. A lot of Legends was NOT good.

Literally, just what i was looking for😊
I believe that canon is whatever does not conflict with the original intent and work.
Makes 80% of Disney SW just bad fanfics lol
Prefer Legends it did Luke justice show how far he grown as Jedi even surpassing his Father becoming grandmaster of the new Jedi order and have family of his own he has his ups and down but a Jedi life going have it struggles but I think he has a life worth living.
Nice thx!
Ive read just about every star wars novel. The Only canon that matters. I wish Mr Lucas had included it in his greater story..
I liked Luke's story in the EU post ROTJ🎉
This is way better than Disney❤😂
These videos are great, but you should consider a bigger variety of background music.
This was a very detailed book report. You get an A.
Dark empire ..the true sequels
Well said
The truce at bakura was good.
I like Truce at Bakura from legends. Starts up literally the morning after the Battle of Endor.
Original trilogy!!! Figured it out before I ask lol
Disney Star Wars is like watching what the Sith would do if they won. Power for the sake of power. If you can't create you can always destroy. Disney is The Empire....thats the great irony of Disney Star Wars. 😆
I wonder if Exogal is another name for Dromund Kaas.
Dromund Kaas was just mentioned in a new canon book about the Empire, so it is its own planet!
@@RetneysHolocron Ah, fair enough.
Master Skywalker, we are all force ghosts now, what are you going to do?
Younglings after Battle of Endor.
I like that you are with your light side of the force but the darkside is more powerful its just harmful internally
"You must finish your training."
‘Canon’
@@Lanterns_light - Whether you like it or not, it is canon.
Interesting to the point where you acknowledged the Nightmares of Kathleen Kennedy. Barf.
What happened to ' the truce at Bakura ' a story that starts the same day that ROTJ finished???
I've just never made any videos about that book

Dope- I told ya I would be here Retney!😂💯🫡
Of course Owen and Beru knew Shmi was a slave.
...Legends, for whatever shortcomings it might have had at the time, was so much better than what Disney has put out.
You mention spots where Luke shows up shortly after Endor but you don’t mention the TV shows, or his interaction with Ashoka.
I definitely prefer a majority of his exploits in Legends better. I think Luke became a TRUE Jedi in ‘canon’ and I like the Knights of Ren clash as well as that Battlefront ll ad well as Mandalorian cameos. Disney really needs to explore his exploits and power more in canon after ROTJ imho.
Yeah Disney spent too much time glazing Darth Vader too much that he overshadow Luke which is a damn shame.
Honestly I don't even know why they attempt their own story timeline it's absolutely garbage an im so glad people are actually pushing back. Can't stand Disney lore it's a shame for them to utterly ruin a hugely loved series
@@guilliman1990 disney is the enemy
ROTJ.... Return Of Timothy Jones 😂😂😂😂
56.03
Obiwan and you, please. You the younger, please.
Anything pass Mado season 2 is bad fan fiction.
Why would you want anything to do with the Disney prequels. They are not Cannon they're garbage. I like the fact that you're able to track what Luke did after the death of a second death star but anything to do with the prequels is a complete turnoff.
God please no, not until Disney sells star wars
Why would Disney not make shows about this rather than the terrible shows they’ve been pumping out?
Politics…very bad politics
So to be more powerful and able to help anybody or do any good you have to corrupt yourself first okay gotcha 🤯🙄
What about Mace Wendu he does
Dang, on my phone I didn't see Canon after Legends in the title. Peace out, bro lol.
Ya no thnx
please use some different music please
What music is it?
Or no music at all

He did nothing, it's a made up story xxx
Was interested in this video until it plugged into Disney crap almost immediately
the new canon is so trash
