Is it clear which works are considered canon and which ones are not?

    I think they missed the Disney shows which are of course canon.

    I’m in the minority here, but I consider Obi-wan especially to be primary canon, as necessary as Movies 1-6. They retconned in the emotional core of the whole damn saga with Obi-wan and fully realized Vader’s confrontation and resolution. That moment truly bridged the OT and prequels for me like nothing else had.

      Disney’s stated policy is that there is no longer primary/secondary canon. There is (at least supposed to be) a storygroup working for Disney to ensure everything they make fits together because everything is equally canon.

      In practice, there have already been issues but that’s how it’s supposed to work.

      Good point, thanks. I’m surprised to hear that you’re in the minority for the Obi-Wan series being canon, Ewan McGregor is so Obi-Wan to me that I just assumed that show was cannon as well

        Im not in the minority of acknowledging it being canon, I’m in the minority calling it essential canon. A lot of people hated it for its B story that I personally thought was fine.

      I did totally forget to call out all the Disney shows, very silly of me as I’ve quite enjoyed them all at worst and are some of the best star wars has to offer, at best!
