Did anyone else check out after Disney cast aside the Expanded Universe
I suppose this could potentially be a very unpopular take, but I was fascinated when 14 year old me discovered the existence of the EU back in 2003. I never got to read everything, but I loved how it was all connected and continued the story. Granted, the books were a bit hit or miss and I never cared much for the Yuuzhan Vong storyline and beyond, but the comics were amazing and video games like KOTOR and Jedi Knight really immersed me in the Star Wars universe.
When it was decided that the EU was done and there would no more new stories adding to it, it was very disappointing to me. There was a ton of stuff that could still have been explored, for example the KOTOR comics, post-ROTJ content, Purge era. I more or less mentally checked out with the EU cancellation. I gave the sequel trilogy a chance and ended up being disappointed and that just confirmed that I was kind of done with Star Wars.
