The Tragedy of the Expanded Universe
I weep for future generations of Star Wars fans. Because of Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, The Clone Wars (2008-2020), and the Disney Canon, they'll probably never know the truth:
...that Luke Skywalker successfully rebuilt the Jedi Order...
...that Han Solo and Princess Leia still stayed together, no matter what hardships they faced...
...that Han and Leia had more than one child...
...that Luke Skywalker fell in love with, and later married, a beautiful yet deadly former Emperor's Hand...
...that it was Luke and Mara's son who was the true next-gen Skywalker named Ben...
...that Dathomir and Mandalore were lush, jungle planets...
...that Anakin Skywalker only had one, but completely different apprentice...
...that it was the Battle of Toprawa that secured the Death Star plans for the Rebellion...
...that there already was a son of Han Solo and Princess Leia who fell to the Dark Side (but was more well-written, even if I still hated it)...
...that the Nightsisters weren't the only Witches of Dathomir...
..that the Chiss didn't have protruding foreheads or visible irises...
...that Obi-Wan Kenobi had never left Tatooine before A New Hope...
..that a group of Mandalorians trained the Clone Army...
..that the Sith used synthetic red lightsaber crystals...
...that there was no such thing as a "pacifist" Mandalorian faction...
...that a female "Space Indiana Jones" already existed, only more likeable and not as irritating...
...that Chewbacca died to defend his family against extragalactic invaders...
...that the Jedi planet Ilum had remained unviolated...
...that the Darksaber was the name of a superweapon created by the Hutts...
...that Emperor Palpatine had returned via cloning before (albeit in a more well-written story, even if it was polarizing)...
...that Barriss Offee was a kind, compassionate, Jedi healer, never betrayed the Jedi Order, and died on Felucia during Order 66...
...that the Sith homeworld was named Korriban...
...that Mandalore was never bombarded nor were the Mandalorians ever purged, thanks to a competent Mand'alor...
...that a new threat emerged from another galaxy after the end of the Galactic Civil War...
...that the Gen'Dai bounty hunter Durge actually died during the Clone Wars...
...that a man named Talon Karrde took over and reorganized Jabba's criminal empire after his death on Tatooine...
...that Boba Fett eventually became leader of the Mandalorians...
...that Tipoca City was never destroyed, but a failed Clone Rebellion did take place...
...that the Clone Troopers carried out Order 66 due to their conditioning, without the need for "inhibitor chips"...
