Frankly I wish they would. While there are a lot of interesting things in the Sequel Trilogy's timeline, in general its terrible. That said it's improbable they'll do it anytime soon. Maybe in idk a few decades?

They didn't decanonise anything.

They just seemingly don't care anymore, and with the behind the scenes drama going on I'd probably feel the same if I was in their position.

Yeah i know they didnt do it, im asking why the hell would they ever do that? The notion is silly.

Just like those guys who started a campaign to remake the last jedi a few years ago, was never gona happen.

Matt Martin who is a story group executive apparently said that its all fake anyway so fans can make their own canon regarding the various star wars medias if they want to.

Basically they need to make internal decisions about what is and is not canon for their official storyline they are working on, but if fans like certain things that are not officially canon they can just decide for themselves that it is canon personally.

Letting fans consider their headcanons the official canon has, as we all know, always been an intelligent idea.

All right then, only scenes with stars visible are canon now because otherwise it's just 'Wars' and that's silly.

I think people get a bit too hung up on canon sometimes.

It’s not synonymous with existing. Great stories like the Thrawn trilogy and KOTOR can still be enjoyed. Hell, sometimes ongoing canon can retroactively make great stories weaker, like with the Revan novel or Legacy of the Force.

Canon really should just be whatever people like.

I much prefer the Legacy era to Disneys sequels. I treat them similar as one might treat alternate universes. They both exist, they both have merit.

The thing about Canon and Legends is, as you guys all know, that it'd be impossible to maintain an actual, cohesive, chroniclized canon and keep all of the extended universe canon, given how much the large, mesh of nearly half a decade's worth of content would go against each other. It'd be easier to make all of it non-canon and then retroactively make the parts that still fit "canon". Did they pick the right things to make canon? Not necessarily. Is it bad? No.

Oh of course, there is almost no reconciling canon from legends. But I think it is entirely defensible to ignore Canon if you prefer legends and vice versa

Well for Legends I kinda see it like myths and legends for the past history of the galaxy. It's like human history we have our own myths and legends we like to tell and I imagine the citizens of the Star Wars galaxy have their own myths and legends that they tell.

As for Legends material after episode 6, I consider those alternate universes.

That's why I prefer to phrase the EU as the Lucas Canon, and what exists now as the Disney Canon. I still believe stories that ended with a cliffhanger in Legends should be continued.

My favorite song is Burying the Dead. It just gives off such a somber vibe that really drives in a feeling of despair and of no hope. It was a perfect fit for TCW’s finale and was a major reason that episode was so emotional.

Jedi Rocks.

Just kidding, I have a brain.

Duel of the Fates is probably the greatest piece of music I have heard in a movie.
The Imperial March is always a classic.
I am actually quite partial to Krennics theme from Rogue One as well, it is similar to the Imperial March but is different enough; it sounds almost less secure and more anxious, like Krennic himself.
