is it unreasonable to consider the post-Lucas era of Star Wars fan fiction?
Depends on your definition. If it was, a lot of modern media would be too. So much so as to render the label pointless.
what in modern media would be considered fan fiction? i mean, if a guy bought the rights to lotr and decided he’s the new tolkien and wrote a sequel to the book, i’m not sure if i’d consider it “official canon”. i know i don’t consider the 8th harry potter canon, for example.
