It's been over a year since Disney implemented their new Star Wars canon policies in the wake of the sequel trilogy. At first, it was met with confusion, but then with either gratitude or resentment depending on the fan. Those who welcomed a new canon warmly usually argued that the old continuity was, at times, a barely comprehensible mess thanks to the lack of any strict guidelines on what stories could or couldn't be told. Those who were against the idea of a new canon argued that it would mean that new stories starring good characters exclusive to the post-original trilogy expanded universe (e.g. Darth Caedus, Ben Skywalker) could never be officially told or that it would make these characters obsolete.
Well, it's been a while, and I want to hear what you guys think after some retrospect and the fact that Legends and Canon universes grow closer and closer now that Thrawn and the zombified Stormtroopers from the novel "Death Troopers" have been confirmed to exist in both. 'Cause we're all fans of Star Wars here, aren't we? Who isn't?
Well, I personally think that the franchise has generally benefitted enormously from a unified story group, but one could argue that there's now less creative freedom for writers to explore new, groundbreaking possibilities for storytelling.
