But it's not true to say they didn't matter. If we enjoyed reading them, and had a lot of good experiences from them, than they did still matter. Maybe not to the canon, but certainly to us. KOTOR itself holds a special place in my hurt as my first video game, and I never would've gotten to play so many others were it not for that one. That's what mattered. The fond memories, happy experiences, and new friendships the franchise formed. Maybe that sounds a bit sentimental or silly, but it's true. They can take away my canon, but they can't take away what I got out of it. And I plan to keep enjoying it as long as I can.Patrick Carlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290822426547111957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831276194138109948.post-20992515749925142892014-04-29T11:35:25.613+01:002014-04-29T11:35:25.613+01:00Yeah, that was the big problem once the prequel fi...Yeah, that was the big problem once the prequel films were wheeled out and completely changed many details behind the series. It's usually better if you just accept things in broad strokes at times, generally happening within a certain time period or linking into a certain event in a character's life. Shadows of Mindor for example has a new practitioner of the Dark Side emerging, after the death of the Emperor, but is linked into something we long knew about: Luke's brief tenure as a General and eventual departure from the military.Bellariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652722543111095280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831276194138109948.post-71923712600787632492014-04-29T04:23:50.840+01:002014-04-29T04:23:50.840+01:00I'm torn between no longer caring about the ch...I'm torn between no longer caring about the chronology, or if I'm going to pretend that the new films are the non-canon material.<br />The timeline is so screwed now with too many things just being inserted wherever they want, I cannot keep up with it.grdaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722216755745063033noreply@blogger.com
