... as of yesterday. And no, Heir to the Empire isn't forty years old. I know some of you like to think that was what started the EU, but nope, it was Splinter of the Mind's Eye, released on February 12th, 1978. Which was... a contentious novel to say the least. But it launched this wider universe that we all love, that JvS owes its existence to. And the films too, they boomed this franchise after all, but all these worlds, all these powers, all this tech we reference? I'd say the EU's influence on this site arguably outweighs the films' influence.
It's too bad it's been closed down with the temporary exception of The Old Republic; would've at least liked to see them bridge the gap between Fate of the Jedi and the Legacy comics before calling it quits, but alas. We'll still celebrate its storied existence through our writing while deriding the parts that sucked.

Like that part where the badguys sucked up the energy of entire SUN and the planet and everyone on it didn't instantly freeze to death?!?
... no ... wait, that was in the movies.

Remember that time Luke and the gang had to fight off Sentient Fascist Velicoraptors? I dont because I never read the EU books but the Ssi-Ruuk are a real thing so yeah.
