I still think the best way to be with the [Star Wars] EU is mutually agreed upon fanfic, with allowances for separate agreements along the timeline. I, for example, don’t care to know anything past maybe 8 years out from ROTJ. I know I may be an outlier with these mutual agreements though.

I replied:

Honestly, if people treated it more as a semi-continuity-sharing fic archive, I’d … still be indifferent to a lot, but probably not actively antagonistic. But as a semi-canon that gets shoved down people’s throats even while it’s subject to being negated by the corporate overlords at any moment … yeah, that’s always going to bother me.
