Except there's loads of interesting concepts and ideas that you could do in the Fallout universe, but it always boils down to the Brotherhood and/or the Enclave. All sorts of groups would form in the aftermath of a devastating war and yet, it's always the fascists in power armor that get the attention. (I wonder why that would be?) soviet-hmm

I've read a hundred something star wars books

And yet, most of those are now no longer canonical and instead of coming up with new ideas, they're just skimming them to bring back the stuff that people liked

If being a comic book enthusiast has taught me anything, it's that canonicity is a trap. Hew too closely and your work becomes repetitive, you have to step away to make a mark.
