Bump!
I suggest simply moving the index tab to below the lists of theatrical features.
I agree the theatrical films should be removed from the EU franchise page. That it was included there to begin with is really rather bizarre.
ETA: the examples section also includes those from both pre- and post-Disney theatrical films (see Anyone Can Die for one offender). Needs some serious cleaning up, as this doesn't even adhere to the EU definition in the description.

So, which is better, moving the index tag to below the list of the theatrical features so they don't show up on the index, or removing the list of theatrical features?

I would be inclined to remove them from the listings altogether. It's already mentioned that they are a part of the broader Star Wars franchise. The theatrical films and the Clone Wars series are the "base text"; as supplementary texts, the EU and Legends draw from them, but that does not make them a part of those supplementary materials.
One last bump. I'm gonna delete those film lists from the pages unless someone objects.
Personally, I am inclined to agree that the theatrical films do not belong on the expanded universe/legends pages. So go ahead and delete.

Theatrical films removed from each page.
The Star Wars Expanded Universe page includes the theatrical Star Wars films, all of them dating back to Star Wars in 1977.
It would seem logical that the theatrical films should not be on the Franchise index for Expanded Universe. The film are base canon (or whatever you'd call that). The Expanded Universe is everything else that's grown out of the theatrical features—cartoons, radio dramas, books, comic books, the Holiday Special, blah blah blah. You can't expand something from itself.
EDIT: The movies are also in Star Wars Legends.
