Well, there has been good stuff, too, like Bridge to Terabithia or Remember the Titans. Otherwise, considering Narnia and other not-so-good films… yeah, I can see where you are coming from. Not sure, but I believe they can do good with Star Wars.
Weren't the Marvel movies leading up to and including "The Avengers" done by a Disney subsidiary?

I love the biased view of writer of the article. Half the books and comics are better than every movie made. That's not an opinion it's a fact.Thought this might be of interest to some:
Op-ed: Disney takes a chainsaw to the Star Wars expanded universe
I was half expecting some type of reboot. Just like he did with Star Trek.Abrams is still behind the upcoming so-called canon, right?
I'd say that's more than enough to tell me why no one should ever care what's canon and what isn't.

The spin-off machine is in full gear. Apparently even Boba Fett is getting his own movie.

The whole collection of books is a mixed bag. I can agree with some of the books being terrible. The problem is the author called every comic and book garbage.I must never made it too that half. I've tried multiple times to read SW books and the only one that didn't seem like it was written by a 3rd grader was the ROTS novelization (which was awesome, I must say).
Star Wars: Legacy is a comic book series written by John Ostrander, primarily pencilled and co-scripted by Jan Duursema, and inked by Dan Parsons. Published by Dark Horse Comics, Legacy's first issues were released in June 2006 following Dark Horse's revamp of its Star Wars line earlier in the year. Its initial tagline was "All new Sith Order! All new Empire! All new Skywalker!"
The series is set in the Legacy era, predominantly at 137 ABY. Its chief protagonist is Cade Skywalker, a descendant of the Skywalker family who has given up his Jedi heritage to pursue a life as a bounty hunter. Cade's story is set against the backdrop of a galaxy in a state of civil war, with a Sith Lord seated on the Imperial Throne seeing his power being challenged by many different forces.
Legacy was considered a bold move by many, as it delved nearly 100 years further into the Star Wars timeline than any other published material had previously done. Despite the uproar its announcement caused in 2006, it has since gone on to become one of the most well-received and popular Expanded Universe works of all time, as well as one of Dark Horse's best-selling comic series.
The series ran for 50 issues, ending with the release of Star Wars: Legacy 50: Extremes, Part 3 on August 12, 2010, but was continued with the six-part series Legacy—War that started December 2010 and itself concluded on May 25, 2011.
On December 3, 2012, Dark Horse Comics announced the return of the Star Wars: Legacy series; only this time, it will feature the great-great granddaughter of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo.
