| Jan 24, 2018 at 16:14 | comment | added | Jason Baker | @Erik Visual aid (I'm hoping you remember set notation; I figured it was safe-ish, since your profile says you're a software developer). The intersection of "Canon" and "EU" is debatable; I'm not sure if you can consider TCW as EU, since it involved Lucas so heavily; but most definitions of EU are "everything that's not the six films", so whatever | |
| Jan 23, 2018 at 16:48 | comment | added | Erik | @JasonBaker lol yes they don't look like a pleasant way to start your day... I'll take your advice and just mentally categorize EU as fan fiction. Before I was constantly trying to categorize information to a tiered scheme something like tier 1 main canon (movies), tier 2 canon unless it contradicts movies (Legends ?), tier 3 canon unless it contradicts movies or Legends? (EU?), non-canon fanfic on some random dude's personal blog. That way lies madness especially when I'm not 100% sure about the term for tier 2/3 canon. | |

| Jan 23, 2018 at 13:57 | comment | added | Jason Baker | @Erik I find it easiest to think of the EU as fanfiction (not a bad policy anyway, really; there were a few gold nuggets, but most of it was just so bad). Then you only have two canon levels, "canon" and "non-canon", and which category applies to a particular work is obvious in 99% of cases. Star wars cannons, though? Yeah, those will ruin your day | |
| Jan 23, 2018 at 3:29 | comment | added | Erik | I'm even more confused about cannon levels in Star Wars now. That isn't your fault by the way.... | |
| Jan 22, 2018 at 22:45 | comment | added | jpmc26 | "Since Lucasfilm joined Disney, Star Wars storytelling has been delighting fans..." I can think of a lot of fans who were not delighted. | |
| Jan 22, 2018 at 21:12 | comment | added | Jason Baker | @Thunderforge Ah, I gotcha. The "except" was what threw me, I think; I took that as excluding SWTOR from the "Legends" category, and then nothing made sense. But yes, I believe you're right (although it makes me wonder if Lucasfilm, internally, agrees; SWTOR isn't under the Legends publishing banner, because it's not published per se. Curious if there's an internal distinction between the two) | |
| Jan 22, 2018 at 21:04 | comment | added | Thunderforge | @JasonBaker Thanks, I missed that. What I meant by “grandfathered in” was that Disney has no plans to write new Legends stuff, but there was an implicit “grandfather clause” for stuff that are supplements to things that were already Legends. In other words, if your “grandfather” (e.g. SWTOR bass game) is Legends, you (e.g. SWTOR expansion) are also Legends. | |
| Jan 22, 2018 at 20:39 | comment | added | Jason Baker | @Thunderforge Got that one (it's the link on "not averse"), and it's what I'm obliquely referring to by "no immediate plans...". I'm not sure what you mean by "grandfathered in", though; SWTOR is not considered part of current canon storytelling | |
| Jan 22, 2018 at 17:24 | comment | added | RDFozz | WRT footnote #2: As far as I can tell, the content Dark Horse generated while they held the license is available from Marvel (at least, the digital versions are available via Marvel). So presumably they'd be able to continue any of that material that's not currently canon, in theory. | |
