The Old Republic itself is a Legacy game, so the novels tying into it are CANON FOR THE GAME. when the new owner makes the old novels cease to be cannon when the old Cannon is better quality than half of disney's own book's(most of the books based off of their "original" stuff is crap, even if the first book is good), making Disney's new stuff cannon is laughable as they already made precedent for all of the garbage they write to get flushed by the next owner, and if you bothered reading all or even most of the previous books, Disney made '''years ''' of your life not matter with that dick move, just counting the time spent reading, if you were a fan who spent time speculating on forums like this, it is even more. and technically, Revan is not cannon at all now.

I can't really agree with this post. Mostly because you insist on using "cannon", a weapon of war, in place of "canon", what is correct for the series. Also, Disney hasn't purged any authors from the Star Wars continuity. Far from it, a lot of the authors remain. Sure, some of my favorites are gone, but only one quit, and she quit pre-Disney. The likelihood of quality going down just because the series was altered is miniscule.

I wouldn't say that Disney made years of my life not matter, either. I enjoyed reading them, and I enjoyed speculating. The enjoyment is what brings the fulfillment, not the actions themselves.

You know what? Revan can be made canon pretty easily. After all, Darth Bane is, and he only appeared as a holocron spirit in Clone Wars post-split. So, please, fix up your terminology, fix up your grammar, don't bold sections unnecessarily, and don't try to speak for all fans. Disney's decision to reboot the continuity annoyed me when it happened, but I've accepted it and moved on.
