User blog comment:Mike Gilbert/Which RPGs are lower, equal, or better than Mass Effect?/@comment-25305799-20140720215945/@comment-1440333-20140721161815

I know all about the canon levels in the Holocron, what I mean is the Clone Wars series was the first real time Lucas took a real hand in shaping and crafting new canon, overwriting a lot of books, comics and established lore from both the Old Republic and Clone Wars eras. Karen Traviss especially was very vocal about how her Republic Commando books, and her work with Bariss Offee, were completely negated by events in the Clone Wars series. Now Episode 7 will do the same - No Mara Jade, no Legacy, no Kyle Katarn, no Errant Venture, no Thrawn, no Yuuzhan Vong, no Solo children.

Its a real shame. And I really hope Mass Effect doesnt do anything similar. Fortunately just like with Star Wars the old stories are still there and I can still enjoy them, even if whats coming up turns out to be a pile of bantha poodoo!
