Mythos Line officially dead for now

Post: Mythos and anything EU (Expanded Universe) related is in a holding pattern currently. Characters/storylines/etc. not seen in the original films, prequel films, and Clone Wars TV show cannot be visited at this time. Perhaps that will change in the future once the new movies are released.

According to Alex over on Statue Forum anything EU related is now on hold due to the redefining of the Star Wars canon as the six films and the awful (IMO) Clone Wars series. This means they can not make any more mythos statues or EU PFS, busts, dioramas, etc. Alex also said that they hope to see this change when the new movies are released but that is a long ways off and still just a maybe.

So another reason to hate Disney. At least for me, as a massive EU fan, it was bad enough that so many stories I loved no longer mattered. Now I am even more heartbroken to find those stories can not be commemorated forever in statue form. No Thrawn, no Galen Marek, no Mara Jade, no Revan, no Nihilus, no Malak, no old Asajj, no nothing. Sideshow is limited to the films and show. Which leaves us what? Especially on the PF front. What have we got left? We will get a new Han and PT Obi-Wan eventually but what good characters are really left that Sideshow can do?

Mace, Qui-Gon, Lando, Ashoka, Cad Bane. Maybe a few of the OT bounty hunters. And that list includes stuff I could care less about personally.

I guess we will be getting a lot of background characters like the awesome prequel jedi designs like Kit Fisto, Luminara, Barriss, etc. Which would be nice if all of their stories that made me care about them weren't erased by Disney.

Oh never mind I'm sorry Barriss Offee still has a story. Thanks to Filoni and co. she is a scrawny, whiny padawan who for no apparent reason turns into a murdering psychopath on a dime!

I love what Disney is doing with this franchise!
