But not everyone did. If they had, James Luceno's Plagueis novel would not have the stellar reputation that it does. If they hadn't changed the Maul backstory that would still be canon.
I have to fess up ... fan fiction writer, here. Currently trying to design a Luceno-complex anti-imperialism plot myself that draws on different elements.
