This tremendously inept post by Rob Bricken at io9 speaks volumes to how so many have such completely uninformed perspectives on life, the universe, and everything:
First, let’s admit one simple truth: There’s no way Disney is going to force J.J. Abrams or any director to adhere to the Star Wars Expanded Universe, as established through decades of books, comics, and videogames. The EU is too big and unwieldy, and furthermore, it’s too focused on Luke, Leia and Han to allow any kind of freedom to explore the characters anew — characters we already know are going to be in Episode VII at the very least.
"Adhere to the Star Wars Expanded Universe"? I had to re-read the whole piece to make sure Bricken wasn't joking. Contrary to what he says, Clone Wars was never considered a part of Expanded Universe. It's very much in-continuity. That this guy gets something like this so wrong makes me wonder why he hit publish on this pile of garbage.
"Hey girl, I wanna Expand your Universe."
