I'm not even sure what that means exactly. Wholesome portrayal? I haven't read any of those legends books where those aliens are featured, but I seriously doubt they did anything that "ruins Star Wars."

What wholesomeness is there in Star Wars that changes with the Vong? The entire franchise is built around millennia of war. War is an antithesis of "wholesome," so I have no idea how the Vong's atrocities would change much of anything at the end of the day.

Millions of beings within the Star Wars universe die from all those wars, there's nothing wholesome about that.

I don’t have much more to add than what was said above but the fact this was spelled Yuuzsang Song bothered me so much.

It’s Yuuzhan Vong

There a number of things I’m glad aren’t canon, mainly because I’m worried Disney will screw them up like nearly everything they bring to the tv screen

It's Yuuzhan Vong and I have to agree with every other post, what's wholesome about Star Wars? Sure the Vong may have done some pretty insane stuff and their culture about pain and glorifying it was really crazy.

But let's not sit here and say that without them, Star Wars is wholesome when you already have genocidal murderers, I mean the Nihil are anarchistic marauders, killing those in their way and taking what they want. That's hardly wholesome, among everything else we got in SW now.

Just because they aren't Canon doesn't mean Disney won't bring in something else...

I wouldn't say the years of oppression under the reign of the Empire are wholesome. Also, Star Wars books tend to lean on a more mature storytelling tone than the movies or TV series would generally go for.

Come on folks, don't be mean.

Star Wars is wholesome.

Like when Tarkin wholesomely destroyed millions of people on Alderaan.

Or each time Vader wholesomely chokes someone to death. Or when he wholesomely killed all of the Younglings.

Or when Anakin killed a tribe of Tusken then had a tantrum about it being Obi Wan's fault. That was wholesome

And the wholesome, charred remains of Beru and Owen Lars.

Or all of those times when someone gets a body part wholesomely cut off, or gets cut in half, or electrocuted to death.

And let's not forget that super wholesome bit where Anakin has is arms and legs cut of and sets on fire.

The list of wholesome goes on and on.

Seriously though, whilst the word wholesome is somewhat inappropriate for Star Wars, the Yuuzhan Vong don't fit the vibe of Star Wars.

And they lack any nuance.

Like pain, can't be detected in the force. Like to try to f**k each other over. Apart from later in NJO when we get some that are outcasts and want change, that's mostly it for them across a lot of books. As many have stated, they would fit 40k nicely because that isn't nuanced either.
