What EU stuff was ruined by the cartoon?
Actually my biggest beef was Mandalore and the Mandalorians. It totally wrecked the wonderful Mandalorian culture and homeworld that was created in large part by Karen Travis, and then of course built upon and deepened by many other authors.
The portrayal of their people and planet is so vastly different that it was embarrassing. It caused Karen Travis to never make another Star Wars book again she was so angry (and rightfully so in my opinion).
Yes, that's a good point. When I saw the "mandalorian" culture on the TV show, I thought, "What? That would NEVER ever happen!"
It's like doing a re-make of "300" and having King Leonidas say,
"Okay, we'll bow to your king's wishes" rather than
"THIS IS SPAAAARTAAA!!"The CW TV show totally botched the Mandos, that's for sure.
