What the fuck are you talking about?

Right - the character is introduced as "Goto" on deception, and the game doesn't change his name hours into the story over a technicality.

Also, no, since I was replying to a guy who admitted having read none of the EU. I pointed out the most recent example of it being ruined, without a pedantic breakdown of the EU and its subsequent scrubbing and replacement, because I wasn't yet talking to a pedant.

And thanks for the concession. I'll take your snark as a symptom of your poor social skills.

"MoVeD tHe GoAlPoStS"

Your lack of reading comprehension and penchant for arguing is not my problem.

Also, you're dishonest. G0-T0 created a false identity using a hologram, named Goto, and made everyone think the hologram was actually the head smuggler while G0-T0 was simply Goto's droid. That is why the name "Goto" was used. Like, you knew that, if you're citing KOTOR 2 (unless you never played it?).

The new material ruining things the EU established has been going on since, well, the EU was discarded in favor of new material.

As for "why would everyone...?", because they did. Decades of EU material followed the convention.

EDIT: Ah, I see you single downvoting everything I'm writing here. Petty of you, but let me do it right back.

Could you explain to me how Rebels is the EU?

Did... did you think my point was that it had to be the first few letters/digits?

It was Threepio (3PO) and not "Threepo," because every letter/number is fully pronounced. No droid in the EU broke that convention to my knowledge - their names were their alphanumeric designations, but written out as proper nouns to humanize them.

Right, and that's my point. According to the convention used for all other droids, she'd be Ello.

Yeah, caught me by surprise first time I saw it. It humanizes the droids to turn their numbers into proper nouns (which Kenobi promptly ruins by calling Leia's droid "Lola").

Tell me you never read the EU without telling me you never read the EU.
