Can you ever just let people have fun?
Fun is if you want to talk about your interpretation of Star Wars or compare or contrast it to that of other people. I’ve seen people say things like “their own personal canon” and that’s fine. Saying there is something like an official dictate, or worrying about it, even for a unified work composed by a single person, is stupid. Stories are meant to be interpreted.
It’s even more illogical when you consider the story of Star Wars has been written by many different people–sometimes not in collaboration with each other-- and has a million plot holes and retcons.
