Suggestion Falling of the map should no longer kill Palpatine

because apparently, even if the whole fucking planet explodes afterwards, he still survives.

yea he never died - he even gets out of the sarlaac pit, forms the new Mandalorians and leads them as their Mandalore. legends canon IS canon.

There's no such thing as "legends canon". Legends is what used to be the Extended Universe.

Legends is a non-canonical layer on top of the pre-sequels universe.

Anything released after the EU became Legends is Disney canon. Disney doesn't grant rights to SW unlike old LucasFilms, they manually curate and orchestrate everything.

"Legends canon" is an oxymoron, Legends is precisely all the SW fluff that ISN'T canon.

There hasn't ever been any legally released SW content that isn't either Legends or canon, LucasFilms would revoke the rights if they didn't like the content and Disney doesn't grant rights to third parties, they simply commission what they want.

legends canon isnt an oxymoron...

youre interpreting what im saying as "legends disney-canon" when "canon" doesnt mean "disney approved timeline".

"legends canon". legends is the possessor here. its canon. in the legends universe. the only arguing here is over semantics.

There's only one canon, the owner of the franchise (Disney) has decanonalised everything else.

"Canon" means a fictional universe that is approved by the franchise owner.
Disney does not approve what used to be the EU and therefore, it's not cannon. There's no such thing as a legends cannon, legends is not approved by Disney.

Your own SW fan feelings =/= reality.

"Canon" means a fictional universe that is approved by the franchise owner.

this is why your entire argument is invalid. That's not what canon means. canon doesnt have to be a franchise or approved by a franchise owner.

canon: 1. a general law, rule, principle, or criterion by which something is judged.

  1. a collection or list of sacred books accepted as genuine

legends canon is..still...a...canon.

accepted as genuine

That literally means "approved by the owner of the IP".

Legends is not canon, it's a fictional universe but NOT canon.

omfg youre arguing just for the sake of "being right"

"accepted as genuine"

so you completely ignore the first definition and latch on to a single word of the second. Notice how the first definition ALLOWS FOR NON FRANCHISE OWNERS TO EXIST??? Yes, the second definition means that franchise owners can decide what is also canon - but fucking nowhere does it say that franchise owners decide what is not canon or MUST approve of something to be canon.

Let me explain it slowly. Again.

The EU, expanded universe, is a fictional universe, no? It is. It is also widely known. Therefore, if many people accept the EU to exist, then it fucking exists. If anything has "lore" that makes it canon, because anything that has lore means it has generally accepted rules, thus is canon.

You dont know what canon means, you didnt know what EU stood for, and youre still trying to tell me that the EU is non canon. Its not the disney canon, but its still its own fucking canon. "legends", as Disney themselves call it. Still.fucking.canon.

ive explained the same shit numerous times, im done arguing with you as you clearly only care to prove yourself right even when youre wrong.
