**Beware SPOILERS** Obi-Wan Kenobi Series on Disney+ **Beware SPOILERS**

[Garlador]

Somewhere out there, someone's only canon is the Star Wars Holiday Special and the Ewok movies.

It's pretty simple actually.

Three canons:

1. Theatrical OT
2. Lucas Canon (PT + TCW + OT:SE)
3. Disney Canon (PT + TCW + Rebels + OT:SE + Mando + BOBF + ST)

Solo and RO are wild cards that can be inserted into all three.

Turd is about to reveal how many SW movies are in his cannon…

I don't even like thinking about it anymore, it just makes my head hurt.

I can confidently and definitively say this for sure...

1) The OT trilogy is in, Rogue One is in, the first two seasons of The Mandalorian are in.

2) The Sequel Trilogy is definitely out.

3) The rest of it is varying degrees of good and bad and I don't know what to do with it. BOBF is completely out same as the ST except for The Mandalorian stuff which might still be out depending on season three and beyond.

So the stuff in bullet points #1 and #2 are clear and certain. It's the jumbled mix of all the stuff I both love and hate in bullet #3 that gives me a headache.

Rumor has it that Kenobi and Vader may even duel more than once...

Why I will not be watching this until it is over, I can read everything about it, and then I decide whether it will anger me.

I will not be Buba Fett'ed again by Dismey.... .....

I see. Well luckily for me I don't have a single canon that I live and die by so if it fits with established continuity then great if not then oh well yet another timeline is created, lol.

I have so many Star Wars head-canons that I am either suffering from multi split personality disorder or I once lived one of my previous lives as a cannon operator during the Napoleonic war.

Same. I made sure of that. ... I should clarify ... I won't be watching it unless everyone raves about how great it is.

Hey, Holiday Special Fett was more of a badass then Book of Fett.

Hey, Holiday Special Fett was more of a bad ass then Book of Fett.

Holy crap lol

So what happens to you if Mando seasons 3 and 4 are better than seasons 1 and 2, but they incorporate a Snoke clone and the Vespa gang?

There’s always the chance they all die horribly, jettisoned into the cold vacuum of space.

Impossible

But I am well aware of the point you are making and that is why I'm not optimistic at all that I can be a fan of Star Wars shows and movies going forward. As of BOBF the writing is on the wall that The Mandalorian is going to almost certainly collide with stuff I absolutely despise. This means from that point on it can never be cannon. I really should just quit watching all of it now but for some reason I have to see it happen. It's like watching a horror movie where I know my favorite character is going to be butchered in disgusting fashion but I can't turn it off until I see the blood and guts as confirmation.

Fact is, most of the people that are making "Star Wars" now seem to be dimwitted and/or agenda driven. They don't care about unimportant stuff like lore, loved characters, established in-universe parameters, or entertaining stories and none of those unimportant things will stop them from doing whatever the **** they please.

I'm not at all bitter about any of this either...

I picked up the Mando Season 2 art book and I love how they repeatedly called out things like specifically designing the Stormtrooper dropships on Tython to look like precursors to the FO dropships in TFA and that the Imperial Remnant uniforms took design cues from the Empire and FO alike in order to bridge the two canon trilogies.

Favreau and especially Rodriguez are anything but agenda driven. (Filoni has definitely raised eyebrows with some things he's said in the past year or two though.)

As for dimwitted well I suppose that's up for debate, lol.

At least you're prepared for what's approaching down the line. So it's like your parachute is already on for the inevitable jumping off point.

There's at least two Disney-era films that you and I have a dramatically different view of, but I get where you're coming from and I respect it. Hell, Disney Wars has been trending down dramatically for me too lately, so I might even jump before you do.

Here's hoping the ride lasts long enough to offer a few more good times, though.

Cruel. You get to be in that catbird seat of having been okay with every single Disney SW offering so far (I believe). You're gonna end up being the lone survivor, chuckling as the rest of us flee in anger, posing your Black Series Vespa gang and buying 8 figures of both Kenobi and Vader so that you can replicate each of their upcoming duels.

For me, not everything that Disney has done is bad. "Rebels", "Rogue One" and "The Bad Batch" are really good, and I've heard that "The Mandalorian" is great. So, whilst I don't consider Disney's Sequel Trilogy to be canon, I do include some Disney productions in my canon;

Episode I - The Phantom Menace
Episode II - Attack of the Clones
The Clone Wars
Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
The Bad Batch
Obi-Wan Kenobi (hopefully!)
Rebels
Rogue One
Episode IV - A New Hope
Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
The Mandalorian (I haven't watched this yet, but pretty confident that it will be part of my canon)

Solo is an enjoyable film, but feels a little inconsequential and unnecessary to the whole thing.

I've not watched The Book of Boba Fett yet.

I am very optimistic about the Ahsoka series and will likely include that in my canon too. She's too big of a character for Disney to mess around with. Ahsoka is bigger than Boba Fett in terms of fanbase and overall presence in Star Wars IMO.

However, as TurdFurgusonsHat said, if The Mandalorian S3 (or any upcoming show) features even just the slightest whiff or rumour of The First Order, Rey, Snoke, Kylo Ren, Luke running away, the Emperor being alive, or any of that nonsense, then I am out and they are not canon.

Hopefully this won't be the case, as we are still 20+ years away from that in the Disney timeline. I also get the impression that Filoni and Favreau want to stay away from the Disney Sequel Trilogy anyway.

Holy crap lol

 

[Bravomite]

The Bravomite canon is already divided and this causes me enough headaches as it is with just the two timelines and I don't need anymore:

Canon 1: PT and OT and then some of the dark horse comics and EU novels and the original clone wars cartoon (and the shadows of the empire video game) - this is now set and cannot be added too

Canon 2: PT + Rogue One + OT + Mando season 1 & 2 (providing a nice epilogue) and if I am feeling benevolent I will allow Clone Wars, Rebels and Bad Batch. With the BOBF disappointment it has now become almost impossible to extend this out to any period after the glorious ending of Mando season 2 but there is still space for Kenobi if it behaves.

For some crazy reason I feel the need to continuously assess every new Star Wars media and decide whether or not it makes canon like some obsessive curator or guardian of the 'Bravomite Way' which applies only to me (although my 1/6 dolly collection may in the future only permit figures from this canon). Of course some nu Star Wars (most of the comics and high republic) does not even get an assessment and is discarded on announcement.

In some nefarious scheme I may raise my kids to only have access to the Bravomite approved canon Star Wars media until one day I reveal that there is other 'content' out there that some consider to be unnatural and then offer them a red pill blue pill choice to either stay ignorant of it and live a happy Bravomite canon existence, free of the concerns and anxiety caused by bad Star Wars or take the plunge and witness the horror for themselves. Of course by this point Star Wars probably won't even be 'cool' and they will be interested only in the MCU or something. Hmm I may need to extend this to all franchises.
