Did you read the article? At all? Jesus wept.

Yeah, but a ship is named different from before, so stuff is awkward now, you know.
This article pretty much irks. Especially with the “when Lucas wrote the prequels” bit. Sorry but movie>everything else. he didn’t have to look at the expanded universe for anything. Yes he licensed it and he also had strict rules but in the end the movies new or old will always trump comics, books, or games in terms…
Good fucking gravy. This article exemplifies every irksome quality that plagues modern nerddom. Younger generations are leaving organized religion in droves and I have no desire to see them replicate the church experience through secular pop-culture. I enjoy a good pedantic argument now and then, but please save the…
Stop saying Star Wars was rebooted, they just said all the EU is now oficially level 2 canon, wich is weird because it had always been that way
What they basically did was stablish that everything away from the movies is not false unless proven otherwise, that means that most of the content after VI got suposedly axed…
He wasn’t on set directing them, but if you think he just handed Kershner the script and told him to use his best judgment, you’re delusional. Lucas was very hands-on as a producer and the movies reflected his vision. Fans like to say otherwise primarily because they can then preserve their strange belief that the…
It’s never nice to see continuity massively retconned to make way for a ‘reboot’ (although in this case that’s debatable), but I feel it’s worth mentioning that the old EU had plenty of convoluted and even crappy stuff, thanks to so many authors getting to mess with the license.
Zahn, Stackpole, and a few others put out some great EU books. But for the most part the old EU was standard schlock that sold because of the Star Wars name, and some books like The Crystal Star were absolutely wretched.
Yeah, if you think “the prequels were an insult” then go get punched in the face.
I’m a pretty big Star Wars fan. I consumed the Dark Horse comics, many of the novels, and so on.
It should be mentioned that a few things in the now-retconned Expanded Universe made their way into the series proper - Palpantine’s name and Coruscant, for instance. Lightsabers absorbing Force Lightning too. So it’s not completely gone! (And we still have our memories).
The best part of this episode was how the Trill’s final female host is there to say “what difference does our love make as same sex” which meant a lot to me as a bisexual growing up. And it’s totally okay that Beverly wasn’t alright with pursuing it, and the host respected that and moved on. Consent AND quasi…
I respect Jonathan Frakes because he thought the main roll should of been played by a male actor.
Not to mention Jadzia straight up made out with her ex-live’s wife, they wanted to start their relationship fresh again in their new hosts. Only the incredible Trill taboo against doing so derailed it in the end.
PLUS the Mirror Universe has Dax (both hosts Jadzia and Ezri) in a gay r’ship with Kira.
That one was so good! Especially because Riker couldn’t “rescue” her—it really underlined that “well meaning” conversion therapies are anything but.
Forgot about that one. Wow! They (successfully) went to the “courtroom” trope a lot in TNG.

Even then, they did have The Outcast, an episode that basically dealt with trans issues.
Star Trek still hasn’t gotten its gay character,
Halfway through, I woulda said yeah but after last night... Nah.
