No, "official" canon is a direct reference to what the current owner of an IP wants you to accept as the "real" story at any given time.
Correct.
That is until ownership changes hands or they directly contradict themselves or retcon something
Agree, and they often do while producing a new product for the latest and youngest demographic, in order to continue the brand.
The OT is your childhood canon. Little Khev grew up watching OT and playing with OT toys. Then, the EU happened, in the 80's and 90's and that was the "canon" for those generation of kids.
Then the PT happened and Clone Wars, and the video games, and the ST...and so on and so forth. Everyone has "their own" meaningless personal canon depending on when and how they were introduced to the franchise. Basically, we all like what we like.
(all the more reason to keep your own head canon separate from what's official.)
That's where we disagree. I think it's all pointless. When Vader sounds like a white man doing a black man's voice, and he's flying around like Neo, fighting Obi Wan like he's agent Smith, you can either like or dislike it for what it is, or choose to hold on to your precious head canon and disregard it as nonsense. My point is, it's all nonsense anyways.
When Yoda did all those flips and was screaming like a crazy muppet, bouncing around like flubber, I thought it was ridiculous, and one of the worse things I'd ever seen. Now, in retrospect, I say **** it. There's a generation of kids that grew up with that version of Yoda from both the PT and the animated shows. That's their Yoda, and you know what, if I were a kid then, I probably would've liked it too. It's cool, stupid, but cool. Ghost Yoda shoots lightning now...**** it. If Yoda shows up in a Marvel film, **** it.
As for Boba Fett, **** it, he's ******** now. He won't be in Mando season 3. Or in a future animated show or movie.
