That is painfully accurate.

I still vividly remember when I was young that my dad blamed any and all computer problems on the fact that I downloaded Steam on the family PC. Couldn’t possibly be because of the 20 “free” “antivirus” programs he downloaded.

Yes… I know. I was describing how the old EU canon worked, in response to a comment about the old system.

Not precisely. The Lucasfilm group licensed and approved official EU material. There were certain limitations placed such as up until the prequels avoiding the Clone Wars era in EU fiction, and avoiding elaborating on Yoda’s race. George Lucas did have some direct contact with EU authors for feedback.

The old EU used a tiered system of canon, where George Lucas sat at the top and his dictates would override anything else. But if Lucas didn’t override a piece of EU, it was canon.

Link with the tiers.

He mostly does videos on the revolutionary war. He’s a reenactor, obviously knows a lot and is very excited to share it with us. His video topics are often highly niche. I want to like his videos.

However good lord, he has uncontrolled purple prose. I’ll put on a video of his and eventually switch away in frustration after a few minutes of him laboring on a joke not worth the time. Aside from bad, overly long jokes put on a forced accent and ramble tangential to the topic when all I want is for him to talk about the thing the video is supposed to be about.

If he hired an editor his videos would be great.
