They Knew the Force Would Attract the Yuuzhan Vong to Their Galaxy?

They wanted to save us from terrible EU books?

We need not concern ourselves with what is not Canon.

What are you JJ now? But it does fit, why else would the First Order consider the Force such a threat, they know the true consequence of playing with the Force too much. They know the dangers that exists beyond the Galaxy and they want to stop it.

The Galactic Empire would have saved the Galaxy if it weren't for those Rebels. That Death Star would have destroyed the invading fleet from those awful books.

Still I blame Jar-Jar Binks.

Jar Jar Bings is a hero of the empire, he made the reign of our beloved emperor Palpatine possible. We all should honor him and his CGI *cough* glory.

A good theory but I still think its because the filthy Jedi kept eating all the pizza and not sharing, that would make me want to hunt them all down too

TBH the best thing about the new trilogy is that they ejected the EU out the airlock. Sure we lost some good stuff, but the Vong are ******* awful, and I'm glad that they're not Canon anymore, so I can treat them like the poorly written fanfiction that they are.

Things become a little bit awkward when you give a spin to some characters and factions in Star Wars and look at stuff from a certain, but different, point of view.

If told with other words, Palpatine could be a strong leader that put an end to the greedy corporations that had corrupted a millenia long democracy because of the weakness of the senate, the corruption of the courts and the fanatical and arrogant templairs-like order that only considered their beliefs to be the right ones, and stubbornly tried to keep this rotten system going no matter how much it sucked, how many wars it caused, how little real democracy it allowed. An order that answered to no democratic power, that was self-appointed as guardians of peace, and whose members weren't democratically chosen, but handpicked by their own leader, following no other advice than their own.

And he did so in a way that costed the greedy corporations a fortune in war machinery, weakening them, by making them face an army of clones, likely paid by the same corporations that fought them, that would leave behind no widows or orphans to grieve them.

And still, fooled by those that thrived in the old corrupted system, youth wasted their lives by joining terrorist cells that bombed, killed and challenged the law and order, just to impose their beliefs to the rest. And if they didn't manage, they spreaded propaganda and defamation, and killed for the freedom to die in war, rather than to live in peace.

That is all fine and good, as long as you are human. You can't denie that using Wookies as slaves and forcing all kinds of non-humans into slums is pretty amoral. A human might live a happy live in the empire, but only if he is blind on both eyes. Or racist.

Isslavery by the Imperials canon? My only knowledge of it comes from the E.U.

Bah, defamation from the rebel propaganda spreaders. History is written by the victors, and after his magnicide, the terrorist said much about how xenofobic and alienfobic Palpatine had been.

And then all of that turned to be false, as soon as the recordings from the Republic came to light, after years of unfair defamation. In those "prequel" recordings, senator and then chancellor Palpatine could be seen surrounding himself with alien colleages, advisors and supporters. And even great historian G.L. stated in the "extras" of those recordings that the Emperors xenophobia was something exclusively restricted to the Expanded Universe novels, and not real canon. That is, rebel defamation and unfair claims done to taint the figure of a great man that brought peace and order to the galaxy.

If he did it through fear, maybe it was because good will and soft stances served little to the weak late governments of the Republic. And when the leader is weak, his power is challenged by those that envy it, and then there will be anarchy. And in anarchy the strong crush the skulls of the weak. But with fear, fear keeps the evildoers at bay, fear to the power of the leader. With enough fear to the might of the leader, the leader doesn't even need to exercise his might. There needs not to be fights or wars, because nobody dares to challenge the Law and the Order.

And then everyone can live in Peace, without having to live in fear of another warmonger trying to crush one's skull in their race for greed.

Look at your own country, whichever it is. If today you don't have war in it, it's not because your leaders offer smiles and hugs to those that seek to take control over your lives. Totally opposite, it's because of the fear-inducing tools that your country stockpiles behind your borders. It didn't work much different a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....

The Rebels pilot episode (I think, maybe another one) was about the cast saving a bunch of Wookies from imperial slavery. The origin story of Han and Chewie might also be still a thing on some level.

And of course the EU is canon until contradicted, but a lot of people seem to miss that.

Slavery in he GCW era is canon now because of Rebels.

It works as head canon I guess, but this is not true as far as the new owners of the Star Wars franchise are concerned.

OP: Not the Vong specifically, but yes it would be an easy justification for a lot of things that have happened and appear to be happening in Ep 7.

Palpatine preparing the galaxy for an external invasion is something that has been written about in the EU no?

It is, though. As far as I remember they revised the policy after there was some backlash that the Legends canon is not discarded per se, but rather as soon as there is something contradictory in that timeframe (Vong and episode 7 *cogh cough*).

But then again I might very well be wrong. The whole "EU is dead" thing doesn't interest me at all, since I, as a huge Tolkien fan, have lost the need for one set continuity a long time ago in favour of more storys to read.

The EU has always been subject to the moving media.

Whenever the books were contradicted by movies, the movies were right and books were wrong. That has always been the case and the state of canonicity of the EU has always been in motion.

Not really he knew about the whole Zonama Sekot incident but nothing about a coming Invasion. But he bluffed with a galactic Thread to convince Thrawn to destroy the outbound flight. The whole thing about Palpatine forseeing the Vong Invasion thus creating the empire AND the Rebellion to have a reason to militarise the Empire are nothing more but a fan theory

Slavery of prisoners is not amoral. Rebels uses unreliable narrators to explain why those woolkies were enslaved.

There's an Off Topic subsection for a reason.

Yeah, would bei Vetter to love the Thread to the OT area.

Btw: There is a chance of the Yuuzhan Vong appearing in Disney canon. A Vong Scout ship was planned to make an appearence in TCW season six.

Ah, thanks. I thought I'd seen it somewhere in the EU.

Thank god it didn't.

Maybe Disney revamped Vong could be cool, who knows. The execution was flawed, but I wouldn't say the whole idea is, so in competent hands there could be something nice.
