Obligatory self advert for Death of the Author, where Sparky, myself, and a few others are brainstorming our own “canon”
I don’t think there’s anything wrong in wondering what Lucas would have done. He is the creator of SW so he holds a bit of sway. And we can invent our own canon, even if it doesn’t hold any credibility. And likewise, Disney has every right to do as they please now that they own the franchise. Overall, canon is a stupid idea and anyone can do as they please.
