April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberConsidering that Rancor was malnourished and still fairly young, I don't find this concept to be too far gone.
I still feel bad for Malakili...
Also, fuck what everyone says, the expanded universe is more canon than anything hollywood is gonna shit out.

MemberAs someone looking to get into the expanded universe, where would you recommend to start? Anything I should avoid like the plague?
Daneasaur
MemberI personally can only suggest the X-wing series. You'll need a much more hardcore Starwars guru for more info.

MemberI guess the rancor likes to play with his food.

MemberGrand Admiral Thrawn and the Ones were made Canon by Rebels and Clone wars respectively, meaning that any character associated with those characters from Legends is canon!

MemberWell... There were at least 6 different "official" continuities for the old EU/Legends for Star Wars Novels but some of the best written ones were the ones about Thrawn, find out which time line those were in and try to stick with that time line for the minimal amount of conflicting stories.
If you go comics... good luck as there is even more different timelines and sub time lines and what if's in those, think you have to treat each comic set as its own time line as they sometimes conflict with the previous ones they sometimes reference...
The old EU is a mess
Rizartha
MemberThrawn himself was made cannon by Starwars rebels, the old novels were not as they were originally set a decade or so after the 3rd movie.

MemberIn an episode of The Bad Batch, it is revealed that this rancor here is actually a female. Hah!
What a twist
NightFire
MemberThat's not how hollywood does it. They'll selectively take what they like, then change everything else up around them as they want to shill lowest common denominator nonsense
That being said the TV series are generally far superior to the theater garbage and work within the busted lore and make it more cohesive.
