Obviously, all of these questions I've brought up about Biggs Darklighter's continuity and the timeline of ANH have stirred the emotions of the masses. Clearly many of you are far more invested in the maintaining the "reality" of the previously published material than I ever imagined.

For my own part, I don't give a rat's a**, uh, er, a flying f***, well, I mean, I can't really get very excited about maintaining a continuity that I feel is not only riddled with errors and contradictions, but also includes so many really silly (and I mean really, truly stupid and awful) stories (sorry, that's just my opinion).

So, lessee, is my count right? That's eighteen votes to chuck all continuity...

Well, thanks for that one small voice of reason, at least. Yeah, if you want to take issue with something I've said on another message board, that other message board is the place to do it.

If you were actually READING that thread (and the other threads there), you'd know that I went out of my way to stir readers up. I wanted to get them talking, and I succeeded.

My opinons of the state of EU continuity aside (and, they are after all, just my opinions), I have NOT done anything or taken ANY action that affects ANY past EU continuity. I asked fans (in an admittedly backhanded way, so as to rile them up) whether they thought it was important for me to stick to the continuity or not.

The poster above who was insulted that I thought I could manipulate fans in such a way as to get them to answer "no, forget continuity," completely missed the way in which I DID manipulate the fans. Did I think I would get an answer other than the one I got? If you think that, then it's MY turn to be insulted. Lawyers aren't the only ones who know better than to ask questions they don't already know the answers to.

You can all relax. The EU continuity is in safe hands (both mine, and Lucasfilm's). Don't worry! Darth Poodle isn't going to let me mess with anything that I shouldn't mess with (as much as I'd LOVE to erase the big green bunny rabbit...).

There are those who care what the fans wanna see and who will do his/her best to get that fans that.

Then there are assholes who think they are smarter than the fans and that the fans are dumb sheep who'll buy whatever you put out.

The second editor doesn't keep a job long.
