Did you seriously just compare the Star Wars EU to the Halo EU?  Dude, Halo is magnificently maintained in comparison.  Maybe under Bungie the EU stuff didn't really have much direction (though it did have some), but 343's stuff definitely does.  Kilo Five, Forerunner, and Halo 4 were all tied together and complementary, and Initiation and Escalation seem to be leading into potential Halo 5 plot points.  They aren't just random stories like the article is referring to about Star Wars.  I really don't get what you're complaining about, this is literally the most coherent and quality period of Halo EU.

:Time will tell if the Halo universe becomes too fragmented with too many new secondary characters and too many new plotlines, but I seriously doubt 343's going to make too many mistakes there.  Halo 2 was a lesson they will refer to, where too many directions and an unnecessary second point of view did exactly what so many Star Wars novels are guilty of. (Seriously, almost every single one has two or more main characters)--[[Special:Contributions/70.70.8.253|70.70.8.253]] 10:00, 11 January 2014 (EST)

::It's an observation: I was merely pointing out one of many possible futures of the ''Halo'' franchise as well as giving out my doubt of Frankie's handling of the ''Halo'' canon (oh, this is more of a criticism than it is a complaint). ''Halo'' franchise is comparable to the ''Star Wars'' franchise given the age we live in; the press even dubbed ''Halo'' as the new ''Star Wars''. And yes, time will tell. :) — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  10:11, 11 January 2014 (EST)
