They have a bad feeling about this.

A group of Star Wars fans has paid almost $5,000 for a San Francisco billboard, using it to petition Lucasfilm for the return of the franchise’s Expanded Universe.

As spotted by Joblo, the sign reads: “Dear Lucasfilm, please continue the original Expanded Universe, the epic story that existed from 1976-2014. Thank you.”

The sign was organised by the Give Us Legends group, which crowdfunded $4,784 to pay for the sign. If you want to see it yourself, it’s on the corner of Steiner and Lombard.

The Expanded Universe was a multi-media franchise that extended and deepened the Star Wars universe outside of the core film series. Following Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm, it was deemed non-canon and rebranded as Star Wars Legends in 2014.

The Give Us Legends group isn’t asking for that decision to be reversed, but for more Legends material to be released as an alternate timeline of sorts.

“The Expanded Universe Billboard Project,” reads a statement from the group, “put together by some of the more outspoken members of the Star Wars fan community, has been done with nothing but love for what is now known as the Legends Universe. It is an entirely fan funded and created effort to speak directly to those who have the power to do what we, the fans and consumers, want. It is for this reason that we have pooled our resources, both financial and creative, to bring Lucasfilm this message of passion and appreciation.”

Disney’s own attempt at deepening the new, streamlined Star Wars canon are the Star Wars Story films, beginning with Rogue One, which will hit theaters December 16.
