The Truth About the Expanded Universe and the Expanded Universe Movement

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

Because I know this will end up coming back to me one way or another, let me just clarify something:
In the video I strongly imply that Lucasfilm is behind the spread of these rumors and misconceptions and while, yes I have no proof that they're directly involved, I believe my assumption that they are involved is a rather safe one seeing that they do not dissuade company affiliates such as Pablo Hidalgo from talking smack about Legends. Also, the fact that they are aware of these fan sites and click-bate articles attacking the Expanded Universe and perpetuating these myths and rumors (which, if you were paying attention, I already proved to be false) is plausible enough to make one wonder, do they just not care about this misinformation being perpetuated about Legends, or are they encouraging it? Legends is still their product, a product they no longer wish to produce (for whatever reason); by allowing this misinformation to spread, this creates an unfavorable attitude towards Legends. If all SW fans believe these fallacies about the EU, Lucasfilm will have to deal with little to no backlash if they decide to discontinue Legends publishing permanently when the Legends Licensing agreement ends with Del Ray books in 2020.
