star wars: movie canon vs expanded universe
Posted: Thu May 10, 2012 1:26 am
now its rather obvious the expanded universe both shows and portrays the star wars universe in general as vastly more powerful than the movie canon; now the movie canon would be considered the primary canon would it not? how much weight does the EU hold compared to the movies?
kinda a 'noobish' question, but anyways i've seen star wars debaters running wild on some other forums that basically consider the movies as "low budget outliers" (stating that "star wars as it is truly intended is not capable of being filmed", implying that some of the more 'grandeur' instances of the EU "cannot be filmed with current film/CGI technology" and whatnot, using this as an excuse for why the movies are so much less 'grandiose' in comparison) , while considering the EU as the true star wars universe as it was originally intended. how would you respond to such?
ps i apologize if any thread exactly like this has been previously made lol
