Here's to the Death of the E.U.

As I am getting over the fact that Lucas Film will be re-canonizing the Star Wars Universe with Episode VII, I want to show an illustration of everything that has been written 4 ABY and after (Post Return of the Jedi).  All of this work can effectively be non-canonized once Episode VII is released and we understand what the story is.  Now that my nerd rage is starting to subside, I realize that we will be getting new stories out of this, and I feel like there is plenty of content that can be used for the future.  My hope is that the new Star Wars Canon will take what is the best out of this to make it their own. 

The best thing I need to remember to take out of this is, Disney plans to make Star Wars movies yearly, keeping the canon mainly in film and television.  They are very capable of this, and considering they already have plans for the Marvel Universe that extend at least until 2028, I'm confident that even though the original trilogy will have always stood the test of time, its great to see that new SW films and books will be created for my children and their generation, but unfortunately we must bid farewell to the E.U. as we know it...

So here is the ABY EU in all of it's glory, may it never be forgotten and live on as mythological stories about a Galaxy Far Far Away.
