Not long after they decided it was all canon they redacted it all. It was a pisstake really.They still seem to be doing the solo children though APPARENTLY. It will just be done differently I guess.

Or they backpedaled until they couldn't hear the fans banjo's anymore... Seriously, you are going to buy that that was just a late april fools? More likely, they decided it was a joke when every fan and their mum showed up at their HQ with torches and pitchforks. I mean, EA are known for this kind of horsehocky. They tried to dictate what is and isn't canon, so that they can make money on their own canon. When... Really, it would probably be a better idea to just try and fit their canon around everything else, or intertwine it. I mean, everyone loved it when they found out that the Rogue Squadron games allowed you to play the invasion of Mon Calamari from the Dark Empire books.

What purplex's me is that... They obviously didn't learn anything from the "Solo Shot First" debacle. Say what you like about George Lucas, he tried to give a tiny tweak, saw the fans hated it and didn't try that again. I remember watching an interview with him and he said "Star Wars is something much bigger than me. It's elevated to the status of... Well, like a religion, with it's own mythos and legends, if I tried to go back and change the bible to add something in or change something... Ironically, i'd be crucified. I say that, if the fans believe that something happened, then it probably happened, who am I to say it didn't?"

The fandom is a big angry bear. George tried to clean one of it's toys and it growled at him, so he backed off, now Disney watched that and said "Pah, they won't mess with us." and then planned to come in and take away most of its toys and give its lovespuds a good towel flicking, and expected the big angry bear to be ok with this...

It really fucks me off that they even considered this. I don't care if they backpedaled to meet with our demands. They think that we are just a bunch of fat, greasy, basement dwelling neckbeards that worship them like gods. Well, now they know that we aren't going to stand for this shit.
