Talk:Star Wars Legends

EU history
Ok in the opening description it says the EU is older then the movies. But then it goes on to say the EU first started in 1978 with the first novel "A Splinter in the Minds Eye" It then repeats this later in the article when it talks about the books. So which is it?

Well, the novelization of Star Wars came out in '76. That may be what it's referring to. What I want to know is: it says Lucas prohibited stories taking place before ANH, yet the list of novels by release date lists at least 9 books written in that era, during the prohibition. 70.245.189.223 20:21, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not made clear in the article, but at the time the Han Solo and Lando Calrissian Adventures were written, Lucas really didn't have anything in the way of policies dictating what could and couldn't be done in Star Wars productions. Those didn't start coming into being until Heir to the Empire jump-started the EU and made them necessary.  The Han Solo trilogy is something of a special case, and largely exists specifically to help reconcile those earlier works with the later canon. Dangerdan97 20:55, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Where did George Lucas establish that Darth plageius was a Muun species?
Please post a quote from george lucas confirming what he said about darth plageius.
 * That it was George Lucas's idea was stated at a panel at Celebration IV. There is no quote from Lucas himself. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 03:01, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Just a question, where does this idea come from that George Lucas thinks the EU is in a canon all of its own? Just asking because I have never found a source for it. Matt Seay (talk) 03:20, December 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is not the place to ask general questions. I answered the earlier question because it had implications for the article's content. Please take this question to the Knowledge Bank. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 03:25, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Legends
Should something be said in this article about how all EU thus far (at least anything post-ROTJ as far as I know) will now be under the Star Wars Legends banner? And how will this affect articles about characters such as Chewbacca or Luke as far as canonicity goes?

Yeah, seriously. 99% of the stuff on Wookieepedia just became non-canon. This is awesome! People are going to have to do some serious overhauling around here. 75.105.48.15 02:49, April 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * I would suggest that for every article about someone or something that appears in both the films and EU, there should either be a separate biographical section titled "Legends" or a separate article with the title being the noun followed by "Legends" within parentheses.&#34;You see, technically, zombology is the study of dead matter, but I prefer to see it as the study of change: ... It is growth, then decay, then transformation.&#34; (talk) 02:59, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * There's also the extreme option: fork Wookieepedia into two distinct wikis. That's how the Star Trek wiki does it: They have Memory Alpha for TV and film canon, and Memory Beta for their expanded universe. --86.164.55.135 13:59, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, guys. DarthJon has created a Senate Hall thread about how we should proceed --- since it will affect the entire site, it's probably better to discuss it there rather than on one article's talk page. Come on over! Menkooroo (talk) 15:15, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

Reverts
There a few falsehoods in the lead. It seems people are misinterpreting this: "While the universe that readers knew is changing, it is not being discarded. Creators of new Star Wars entertainment have full access to the rich content of the Expanded Universe." Adamwankenobi (talk) 20:19, April 26, 2014 (UTC) Well, she's not, but she is the senior editor. She does have some say.Conner itsatrap (talk) 23:44, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * You're mistaken. Jennifer Heddle has quite clearly declared most of the EU non-canon. "full access" means that the EU's essentially like S/N-canon&mdash;it doesn't exist until someone references something, and then that element is canon.

 * Oh sorry about that, I didn't know she was part of the story group. Adamwankenobi (talk) 20:30, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

How about you just ignore the legends crap and continue as usual? There is literally no reason to give heed to these people. This is a fan site after all. --Special:Contributions 07:49, June 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * and yet they've done exactly that, how annoying. Gboy4 (talk) 16:08, August 20, 2014 (UTC)

Motion to change article name
Like I said in my headline, I think it would be best since the EU essentially no longer exists. We have Legends and canon based on the April 25, 2014 announcement. I do not know exactly how to officially make a motion but this was my best bet. I'm also aware that this probably won't happen and I'll get shot down (again). But any who... I make the motion to change the name of this article. --Darth R2-D2, Dark Lord of the Droids (talk) 20:37, May 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm split on this. I would have to see arguments from both sides. Fe Nite (talk) 19:15, May 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think we should have a page for both. The EU page should in-depthly explain the EU origins, and the levels of canon that are now obsolete. Then, have a Legends page to show the current split timeline that has been created, explaining that.
