I have updated my personal Canon once again. After a long time, I abandoned my Legends purism and decided to create a personal continuity that combines the best elements from both the Legends and Disney continuities.

  • Dawn of the Jedi (comics)
  • Tales of the Jedi (comics)
  • Knights of the Old Republic (comics)
  • Knights of the Old Republic I
  • The Old Republic: Revan
  • Knights of the Old Republic II
  • The Old Republic: Deceived
  • The Old Republic (cinematics)
  • The Old Republic (original game)
  • The Darth Bane Trilogy
  • Darth Plagueis (novel)
  • Cloak of Deception
  • Episode I: The Phantom Menace
  • Bounty Hunter (video game)
  • Obi-Wan & Anakin (comic)
  • Episode II: March of the Clones (my fan edit)
  • The Clone Wars (2002 video game)
  • Clone Wars (Canon Edit): The Master and the Apprentice
  • Clone Wars (Canon Edit): Knight of the Republic
  • The Clone Wars (Season 2 Episode 16)
  • The Clone Wars (Season 1 Episode 16)
  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars (movie)
  • The Clone Wars (up to Season 6 Episode 4)
  • Dark Disciple (novel)
  • Labyrinth of Evil
  • Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
  • Darth Vader (2017 Marvel comics)
  • Catalyst (novel)
  • Kenobi (novel)
  • Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith (comics)
  • Rebel Rising (novel)
  • Star Wars: Andor
  • Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
  • Episode IV: A New Hope
  • Darth Vader (2015 Marvel comics)
  • Scoundrells (novel)
  • Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
  • Shadows of the Empire
  • Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Over time, I re-evaluated The Clone Wars and ultimately chose to replace the Clone Wars Multimedia Project with the 2008 series. However, I have made a few exceptions to avoid incorporating elements of the show I never truly liked in the first place: I exclude the Mortis arc, most of Season 6 (except for the first four episodes), and all of Season 7. I am willing to accept Maul’s return, but I prefer to believe that after being captured by Palpatine, he was subjected to experiments and ultimately killed by Palpatine himself before Revenge of the Sith. Consequently, I do not include the Son of Dathomir comic, as it depicts Maul escaping from captivity. While I still have great respect and appreciation for the Clone Wars Multimedia Project, I now feel it is better to incorporate The Clone Wars, though I have kept some stories from the Multimedia Project and placed them either before the series or after the fourth episode of Season 6. I have also decided to discount all stories set after Return of the Jedi. As I said in another thread, I was never really invested in the post-ROTJ world, so I decided to just end my personal continuity with Return of the Jedi itself.

Depending on my mood it might just be the original film, radio drama and books and comics from the 70s and 80s.

Or might extend to the entire Star Wars trilogy but nothing before 1997.

Some of the EU books are in there not all, i have to give it a thought, but the Zahn books the original ones not Disney.

Dark Empire I and II but not Empire’s End.

Tales of the Jedi, the X-wing books.

Basically, nothing prequel or Disney. Though I will say how much i enjoyed those prequel era games, comics, pre Filoni material.

I do like Young Jedi Knights and for me Jedi Academy trilogy is a mixed bag. But i wish there was an alternate EU after Vision of the Future which isn’t the Vong Invasion, so no New Jedi Order, and no Legacy of the Force, or Fate of the Jedi. Jacen doesn’t become Hayden Skywalker 2.0 .No New Sith of week and if there was way to do so, I would have limited the Superweapon of the week in Bantam and Dark Horse.

Anakin isn’t killed because George was confused over two Anakin’s. Mara isn’t killed. Boba Fett doesn’t do what he did in those books training Jaina.

Han, Leia and Luke retire gracefully and the new generation takes over. They aren’t slaughtered for shock value, die for completely no reason. Or lie down and will themselves to die.

Which was never the case to begin with, anyway. In fact, while George did say that people were going to be confused by the fact that there were two Anakins as main protagonists, he never instructed the authors to kill off Anakin Solo. He only stated that Anakin should not have been the main protagonist of the New Jedi Order series, and suggested that Jacen should have taken that role instead. The authors made the decision to kill off Anakin on their own; no one directed them to do so. They could have easily kept Anakin as a secondary character without killing him.
