You know who doesn't give a shit about "canon"?

Everybody involved in the production, marketing and distribution of anything in the Star Wars franchise. It's all just made up as they go along.

There is no canon--only more nonsense.

I'm amazed at just how wrong you can be in one post. Lucasfilm has always had a thing for "canon." George Lucas never did of course but everyone else there loves the concept for whatever reason.

Methinks he was just using the subject as an excuse to start bitching about Christianity. I can think of no other reason for the pointless tirade against theologists.

Religion aside, I agree with Id that fictional canon is a terible concept.

The SE ending of ROTJ provides a massive change. We see celebrations on various planets; including Coruscant, during which we are led to believe that the Empire has fallen.

In the GOUT, we merely see a small celebration on the moon of Endor. There is no reason to believe the Empire has been completely overthrown. For all we know, someone could have simply stepped into Palpatine's shoes and taken control of the remaining fleet.

EP VII could very well see a continuation of the Empire (in some form), and therefore be a follow-up to the GOUT, rather than the SE.

Excellent point. Then again, a future SE could easily go back to the original ending.

The SE should definately be cannonized.

One of the greatest posts in the history of the internet.
