Yeah that first line irritates me. What is weird about Mara Jade? She was great and the Thrawn Trilogy should be episodes 7-9.
I assumed it was rage bait, especially considering what Disney produced on the paved-over space where the EU canon used to be.
"We're wiping the canon back to just the movies to have room to tell stories in this great universe."
Thirty minutes later...
"So now hyperspace takes moments and you don't need to bother with coordinates. Hell, you can jump through shields and into and out of atmospheres."
Welp, new continuity is now fucked beyond repair.
"Oh remember when we said we were gonna disregard the entire EU? Well now we're gonna go back and pick and choose from those corpses what we like and Frankenstein it in anyway."
