      Canon doesn’t mean shit and hasn’t since Disney bought the license

      It wasn’t in their minds at all when the film was shot, your own personal call if it counts 20 years later or not

      No, it’s canon. Disney bought Star Wars in 2012, so everything after that point is canon (with the exception of things like the Lego games and Visions)

        Wait, everything is canon after 2012, so like I can just say the Ewoks were behind everything and it’s now canon because I said so after 2012?

          Not just that, everything after 2012 is canon. Harambe fucking died in the star wars universe

          Why not? It’s fiction. The idea that some wealthy corporate board has more authority to dictate canon than people is absurd.
