I think I preferred the EU. It existed, mostly, without contradiction. Now, every little detail needs to be somehow connected to something else but I guess GL is the one to blame as he decided C3PO's origin, had Yoda and Chewie as old friends and even sent Artoo to Dagobah. Five years in and Disney/Lucasfilm cannot grasp the fact that this fictional galaxy far far away is a little bigger than the rock we live on. I really hope Rey is related to no character we know and Snoke is just the uninteresting character he appeared to be in TFA.
I wanna find the LFL story group and slap them around till they understand the potential of thousands of years and thousands of planets.
Ok. Rant over.
