Easy. The Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi are in my canon because they fit in with the rest of the Legends universe. The Force Awakens and Rogue One are not because they don’t fit in.

To classify, my canon is basically the original EU without any events, references or characters from The Clone Wars TV show (that can stay in the nuEu, as it contradicts all the Clone Wars stuff from the early 2000s).

That’s not to say I don’t like TFA or R1, or even TCW, they’re all quite good.
